I really don’t get why the ref should come all the way to the side of the pitch just to look at the screen and stall the game for like 10 minutes. They could’ve strapped a smartphone to his arm or thigh, which can show the footage for him to see. Provided it doesn’t have a big screen like the one we have currently, but almost anyone can see almost anything perfectly through a full HD iPhone 15 screen anyway. The ref rarely suffer from contact, unlike the players, so there should be no health hazard either. Wonder why a multi billion enterprise could not afford some of its most important employees better work equipment.

Chelsea can play evenly against any team…be it Man City or Luton.

To play in the “left 8” you must be good at the half turn and an eye for a killer pass, just like what Cancelo did in Man City (He starts at LB but drifts to the left 8 position to be a creative outlet on the left, matching KDB on the right). Not saying Zinny can’t do it, but there must be some reason why both Arteta and Pep haven’t tried playing him there.

People are looking at the shiny new toys on the transfer market for a Partey replacement, but why don’t we look inside the team? Rice is the understudy of Jorginho/Partey and will be moved to the 6 position gradually. We also have Patino and that boy is cooking at Swansea - really hope he can play for the first team next season. Odegaard can move deeper and become more of a 2nd phase playmaker, which he can (or already be) world class at.
