What's new

Fulham v Chelsea (PL) Mon 2nd Oct 2023 20:00 GMT

So no one even talking about the manager excluding Madueke from his squad for the Carabao cup. He doesn't play in the premier league, he doesn't play in the Carabao cup. The manager said he is fit, but it was his choice not to include him in the Carabao cup squad.

I'm sure it was also his choice not to include him in the squad at the weekend against Villa and we got beaten. Because I think he said it in his press conference before the Villa game that Madueke is training with the squad. He even said he still wanted to check Broja for one day after the press conference to see if he will be ready for Villa, that was not the case for Madueke, but Broja made the squad for Villa while Madueke didn't.

Against Brighton again, Madueke didn't make the bench not to talk of the starting eleven. Madueke is probably the best creative winger in the team and he doesn't play him. It's just like having Mahrez at City and not playing him. We lost against Villa, I've said it before, if I was the owner of Chelsea, I would have sacked Pochetino these past few days.

Palmer did a nutmeg for the assist for the Jackson goal yesternight, he did other things in the match, yet in the next premier league match, Gallagher will start instead of Palmer at No. 10. Why then did we buy players? Why are we supporting football if you will buy players and you will not use them.

This may have been addressed already if you said before that you would sack Pochettino if you were the owner, but who would you appoint next to work with a squad of kids that only met last July/August?

 
Broja not fit for more than a minor role, so Sterling our likely forward. 2 of our 4 different league scorers (Carney and Jackson) out, leaving just the hopeless Sterling and Disasi.

Gotta go with 1-0 to Fulham and a Willian goal from 2 low scoring sides.

Just a heads up for @Munkunkuahead of Zeta putting up the predictions thread  ;)

Maybe we could give Petrovic his due as Jackson's replacement? Will be less painful than watching Sterling up front.

Idiot. Enjoy dropping points when Chelsea win 18-0.

 
Sterling will play, whether it's as a striker or on the wing is anyone's guess. I don't think it's responsible for throw in Broja and hope it will work out, he's been out for almost a year and just got back into the team. Playing some other  kids we haven't even seen before it's crazy. We went into the season with 1 fit striker and it's no surprise we landed in this situation, and it's a madness how Jackson managed himself 5 bookings in about just about as many games, you'd think he's a DM or LB by that stats.

 
Let's just hope that if we are winning narrowly and want to eat the clock up we don't take a player off without bringing a sub on.

We made 5 substitutions against Brighton and only brought 4 players on. We played the last two minutes with ten men when we didn't have to.  :face_palm:

 
You know what, with Cucu performing as he did against Brighton I actually wouldn’t mind him starting this one. Broja and Carney are probably not fit to start do I’d go with:

            Sanchez

Disasi Silva Colwill Cucurella

           Caicedo Enzo

Maatsen Palmer  Mudryk

           Sterling

Maybe Gallagher in for Maatsen, which means Enzo in the 10 and Palmer to the right. Have yet to be convinced by Enzo playing there, though

Chilly couldn't be subbed. You have 3 windows for subs. The 3 windows had been used. Short of keeping a window up your sleeve in case of an unforeseen injury, there's nowt you can do.

 
The amount of players Brighton brought back in to their 11 for the game vs Villa, only to be thrashed 6-1, is a reminder to us not to get too carried away with our win in midweek against essential their B team plus a couple first choice players.

 
I would personally like to thank Luton Town today. You've saved our arses for the second time this season. Thank you Big Mick Harford Thank you Eric Morecambe 😆
