    Good times, started 3 center backs so basically an attacking force (I'm being generous) of Werner, Havertz, Mount, Reece, Chilwell, Kante, and Jorginho won the goddamn Champions League. Obviously Pulisic was vital against Real Madrid but didn't start the final. Crazy stuff in covid season.

    When I went to the fan fast in Orlando we ended up by some forest fans. They were very nice and just excited to be in the PL. Well I hope they have an awful fucking day.

    Our away performance has me pretty nervous. So much pressure on the young team with how much is riding on the outcome.

    Not especially encouraged so far. Feels like Forest want it more. Hope we can just outlast them, but this feels like a draw

    yeah not a promising start. I don’t think the Neto false 9 is the play, we don’t look very comfortable

    I still can’t believe Jackson picked up a red and missed these last matches

    Got to score there. Think if Neto had missed it Colwill was there to put it in

    Pretty great season considering the age of the team and our best player having a big slump in the middle of the run in.

    So happy for the boys. Equally happy for Maresca who has been such a calming presence in the locker room. I’m really excited for some consistency moving into year 2 and love that we can play really loose in the final against Betis

    Are you allowed to have the same manager two seasons in a row? Might be illegal.

    So it’s been 5 hours since the PL season ended. Have a final on Wednesday and the CWC starting in 3 weeks. Time to think about what next season holds.

    GK
    Sanchez - Keep
    Petro - Keep
    Jorgensen - Loan
    Penders - Loan

    CB
    Disasi - Sell
    Colwill - Keep
    Fofana - Keep
    Badiashile Sell
    Chalobah - Keep
    Anselmino - Loan
    Tosin - Keep
    Achempong - Keep
    Gilchrist - Loan
    Veiga - Sell

    Outside backs
    James - Keep
    Cucu - Keep
    Gusto - Keep
    Chilwell - Sell
    Wiley - Loan

    Midfield
    Enzo - Keep
    Caicedo - Keep
    Lavia - Keep
    Santos - Keep
    KDH - Sell
    Felix - Sell
    Chukemenka - Sell
    Dyer - Loan
    Kellyman - Loan
    Amougu - Keep
    Rak-Sakyi - Loan
    Essougo - Loan
    Paez - Loan
    Matos - Sell
    Ugochukwo - Sell

    Attackers
    Cole - Keep
    Nico - Keep
    Neto - Keep
    Noni - Keep
    Mudryk - ?
    Nkunku - Sell
    Sterling - Sell
    Sancho - Sell/Loan
    George - Keep
    Guiu - Loan
    DDF - Sell
    Estevao - Keep
    Broja - Sell


    Keepers
    Bring Petro back into the squad and have a battle for 1 between him and Sanchez. Maybe if an experienced keeper becomes available bring them in but I don’t think it needs to be a priority. Penders and Jorgensen out on loan and get them some reps.

    Defenders
    Trim some of the fat and bring in a new CB. I think if Fofana can stay healthy he can provide a lot but that’s a huge question. I still don’t know if Colwill is the answer but he ended the season well.

    Midfield
    Have an incredible 3 in Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia. Need to find a way to get all three of them on the field at the same time. Bringing in Santos and Amougo to help from having to play the top 3 in every match and burning them out. I know not all of the ones above can be loaned but try and find spots for those that can

    Attackers
    I still have faith in Nico but he does need to take positive steps, better finishing, watch offsides etc. Do need to bring in a new striker though and allow Guiu to go out on loan and get minutes. I don’t know enough about Delap but it seems like he is one of the top options.
    Estevao coming in is the huge question, tons of potential but it’s gonna take some time to adjust. Also need Cole to get back to his form.

    Well striker question is the biggest one out there. Nostalgia mode but hard to believe it was 11 years ago we signed Diego Costa to fill the same void at striker. I don't think Jackson is good enough but who knows.

    Will try to get some pics/video but my nephew is a Chelsea fan. He’s been in Europe for all of May. Half the time in Barcelona, then in London/Amsterdam/Prague. He wasn’t in London during a match but toured the Bridge. Tomorrow morning he’s taking a bus 5 hours from Prague to Wroclaw and attending the final then taking a bus back overnight.

    He was considering not doing it and my brother was like you’re a few hours away from where they’re playing a final, how can you consider skipping? Apparently a few guys at his hostel in Prague are all making the trip.

    He’s seen them on preseason tours but never a competitive match so even more reason for it.

    Is anyone going to any CWC matches? Feels like the interest in these is on par or less than your standard U.S. tour.

    With the prize money involved I think they will be much more competitive than you’re giving them credit for.
