    Most of this Chelsea squad are under 25. So much potential. Could be a beast of a team in a couple of years

    It's how the England team should play ...

    ... instead it's all weak as piss side-footed passes and taking no risks.

    Unreal player eh

    I remember watching for Brighton u21s when he 1st came over and he was just ridiculous

    That is the type we need in the middle of the park, easier said than done but players who can cover ground are huge in the PL

    Same, I'm still not convinced by their manager tho

    Think they need to improve the balance of the squad and sign a good GK

    They won't be far away next season

    You look at players with raw, and genuine ability but who don't have the balls to work hard.
    Then you get players like Gary Neville or Luke O'Nien who work their bollocks off to make sure they are the best version of themselves.

    My ultimate frustration is Rodwell. That lad had everything from a physical perspective - two footed, could tackle, head, pass, and score goals but he had a heart the size of a pea.

    I'd forgotten this match was even being played tbh, the end of the season was Saturday for me.

    These endless European games are just to satisfy people sitting watching the telly imo ...

    ... boring after a while.

    Betis just ran out of steam and the Chelsea subs, especially James at halftime, completely changed the game.
