🚨🔵 Joao Pedro explains how the Chelsea forward trio combines.
"Cole can score, he can pass, he can score from free-kicks, and he can do everything."
"He's a different player. That's what makes him special. I just have to be ready when he gets the ball. I need to be in the right position to make the run, because he's going to make a brilliant pass, so I have to be ready to score. Because if not, later he's going to say, "Hey, Joao, you need to give me an assist!"
"Morgan is a very skilful player. We can see he can dribble past two or three guys and carry the ball. That's what we expect from him, and I think he has started very well."
"With Cole, I try to always give the ball to his feet. With Morgan it’s more to the space, or to let him in a one-on-one situation. And my job is just to run, and then they’re going to find me!"

We're told to be kind to young men, protect mental health, then a fuck-ton of accounts take the piss out of a young, talented footballer because of something completely out of his control that he's suffered with his entire life. Just fuck off.
After 18 years, it’s time to say goodbye to Chelsea. I arrived as a nine-year-old with a dream, and I leave as a man who’s lived that dream in ways I never imagined. This journey tested me, lifted me, and strengthened me. To every teammate, coach, staff member, and supporter, thank you for shaping me. I gave everything I had, and I’m proud of the person this club helped me become. To the young players: the path won’t always be smooth. But stay ready, stay positive, and keep your faith. God’s timing is always right. Thank you all, truly, with love and gratitude.

Alejandro Garnacho has completed a season-long loan move to Premier League club Aston Villa, with an obligation for the move to become permanent next summer should certain criteria be met.
We wish Alejandro the best as he continues his career at Aston Villa.
Chelsea took down this post after fans backlash. I guess those weren't Chelsea fans because I don't see anything wrong with celebrating your player. Chelsea isn't FA.
@AcretionDisc2@iFantarei@siphillipssport@JackRosser_ marcus betinelli made 0 appearances for chelsea in 4 years in the prem with one appearance in the fa cup iirc. scott carson made 2 appearances in 6 years at city. third choice keepers are almost always more experienced players there for the dressing room, not to play
@jodenpotter while i agree for the most part, iirc nico manufactured that chance himself by counter pressing, couldve done so much more if he passed it but he also generated that chance
According to the FA’s own rule book, it is an offence if a player scores Immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental. So why was David Brooks’ goal allowed to stand?
50% of the goals we’ve conceded this season have been individual errors leading to goal
In 4 of our last 5 losses we’ve been down to 10 men, the other loss was against a side who put in the best performance we’ve faced in the Maresca era
We just went into a game with one fit centre back (who gets sent off) no natural strikers (besides Guiu who Maresca doesn’t rate) & our best player out
Palmer has been struggling with injury issues since the World Cup & our best centre half is out for the season
A lot of our backups are raw but are being forced to play a lot more minutes due to injury
Maresca has played every player the fans have called him out for not playing besides Guiu (yet) & they’ve done worse
Maresca seemed to only massively stress the importance of one signing (centre back) & the owners told him no, guess which area we’ve struggled in the most & the ones fans have complained about the most
In our last 16 Premier League games where it’s been 11v11, only once has XG suggested we should’ve lost
We didn’t even have a proper pre season due to fixture congestion so the players are tired and rusty, it’ll probably lead to even more injuries
And despite all of that & a CWC win, we’re talking about potentially getting rid of Maresca already? How is he getting this much criticism? Ofc we can point to one or two things he’s got wrong but how about talking about how much he’s gotten right over the last year?
@RhysCarefree @Jake15934953737 @OliviaBuzaglo Malo had a pretty good game apart from that mistake, I think him and Chalobah have to share blame for that goal, considering he recieved the ball under pressure from 2 Bayern players. Tough game and we looked off for most of it
