It would be absolutely incredible if this group of Chelsea mercenaries flopped.

They’re playing a high-stakes game with FFP and these long-term contracts, if the contracts turn out to be albatrosses around the club’s neck it could represent a hole that even the most thoroughly financially doped club in the history of the game cannot dig its way out of.

They look awful, but to think they will look anything else with 30 players out and 30 player would be strange.

True, but it’s entirely self inflicted; plus they need to finish top four at the very least to make it worthwhile. I’m not convinced, looking at their squad, that they will.

Fingers crossed

I guess that's what you get when the owner picks the transfers and starting lineup.

This added time business has got to stop. Players are going to get hurt, fans are going to get bored. The last ten minutes are rarely heart in your mouth.
Not caught up yet but I'd rather the clock stopped like rugby. That way you can blow up at 90 rather than giving 10+ minutes and the winning team just time wastes during the added time and the ref ends it after the 10 mins.

Look at the women's world cup final earlier. 13 mins added and the ball was probably only in play for 4 or 5 mins of that 13.
