I’m sure I’m not the only one seeing the poor quality of passes and executions made by both teams.

England U21s have won the Euro Championships with a 3–2 victory over Germany.

A great way to end a brilliant season for Sharman-Lowe who’s part of the squad after winning the League Two title.

Former blues Livramento, Hutchinson (who scored in the final), and Iling-Junior part of the winning squad.

Ashley Cole the assistant manager.

Delap was set to be in the squad until we signed him.

Congratulations! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

🚨 Mikel: “There’s 4 minutes left come on, they could’ve finished the game, they just took 4 minutes to take the players off the pitch! Come on.

We’ve signed a beast , even £115 million feels like a bargain.

I feel very safe with Lavia and Caicedo. incredible incredible players. These are the engine of the team. Very very good on the ball too

There is little doubt that beating defenders one-on-one is Gittens’ potential superpower, as data from last season demonstrates.

I fully back this. Positive criticism of our players is right. But coming here to run out our two players against each other is just being petty and unblue like.

We can point out players weaknesses in the right way. We are allowed to criticise. But do it constructively.

We cannot fight against our opponents and haters and fight against ourselves.

#WeAreBack

I have no words for this man anymore, People who rate midfielders with G/A amaze me. This guy is the best midfielder in the club my a mile. When you watch him you immediately see the quality

What actually do our sporting directors look at when scouting a player?

If Chelsea signs the players they wants these will be Thier starting eleven(11)
