Hang on, what happened to Quenda? Didn’t feature v Luton, and has disappeared off the bench. He has Caicedo, Barco & even James on the bench. Squad is still way too big IMO

Don’t understand why he wouldn’t just play Barco rather than shoehorning a fullback into midfield

If Barco, James, and MC are fit enough to be on the bench but you don’t think they have 90mins or whatever with 5 subs play half each. They get minutes under their belts and we get actual midfielders in midfield.

Brighton missing players also

Could well be Alonso is sending a message he needs a new CM.

Don't forget to get your predictions in. @Zeta @Munkunku @Valerie etc etc https://www.theshedend.com/topic/37602-pre-match-predictions-week-2-brighton-and-hove-albion-h/#comment-2213850

Chelsea 3 - 0 Brighton Joao Pedro 12'

Yeah we need midfielders. Shame Barco isn't starting he looked really good midweek.

I dont mind Neto at LWB (hes better then Gusto, yet Gusto finds himself still in the team, WHY?) but why is Alonsos wanted player sitting on the bench

I'd sooner it is Hato... I think...

Chelsea 2 - 1 Brighton De Cuyper 7'

Chelsea 3, Brighton 1. Palmer 17'

Gusto

Good grief the midfield and wing backs make for horrific reading. Very concerning. I guess Neto to Liverpool is not a thing then given he starts.

That’s Rob off to the bomb squad then, amazing it took Alonso 1 game to see what we have been saying for years now 😂

👍

Head scratcher this one.

I thought Chavarria was brought in to play LWB as Alonso wanted him? So whys he sitting on the bench behind Hato?

Maresca you bald c**t please make an offer for Gusto

Surprised by that lineup with James, Barco and Caicedo on the bench. Should have rotated more against Luton to keep James and Lavia available for start of this game.

Just do what is needed to get him out, ffs.

Is that Hato at CM with Lavia?

4-1 Chelsea Palmer - 38’

Xavi has a pair of bo**ocks about him, huh? Will be a tough match, good test to see what we are about. Up the Chels!

Midfield, Gusto?
