Watch and appreciate.

And that pass to Schurrle.......

I'd forgotten what it was like to get excited watching Chelsea 😞 

 

Such a fantastic player, his brain was so quick that he could go up against the most industrious midfielder and not only get past them but also shut their game out in the process.

He's probably the best playmaker the league has ever seen.

Cesc staying in Italy to coach U18, surely he is someone who could have brought something to our academy or maybe not with the current academy/ ex-academy fire sales 😀

Pretty sure his contract involves a small stake in Como, he's not there just to coach.

And if I lived where he does I’d never want to leave either 🤩

Monaco and then Lake Como? 

I'm guessing his wife is choosing his clubs for non-sporting reasons and who would blame her?

Yes.
I follow them both on IG.  Fantastic luxury lifestyle.  I’m so jealous 🤢

And looks like JT may be off to Saudi Arabia.

Very disappointing in more ways than one ☹️ 
 

Money money money 🙄

I can see that being a disaster.  

He has no head coach experience, he's coaching in a foreign land and he's chosen a team that hasn't invested anywhere near the level of his competition.

Long read: Carvalho recalls his giant Chelsea leap and feeling Mourinho’s wrath | News | Official Site | Chelsea Football Club (chelseafc.com)

Best article ever 💙

"Sometimes we didn't even need to speak, it was just about looking at each other and I knew what he (Terry) was going to do"

I think Carvalho was the best centre half I've seen at Chelsea and it really was the best partnership with the best English centre half of all time ( in my opinion obvs)
