Chilwell came in and gave us so much composure. Simple on touch game bring other into play.

Palmer and Madueke on the other hand 😭😭😭😭

Huh?

Those two are clueless. We were under pressure at the end of the game, calm the game down, give your defender a break don't just go and lose the ball.

I don't think that was playing it safe though, we could barely keep hold of the ball. If he had switched to a back 3 and put Chilwell at wing back, I think that would have eased the pressure a bit.

Or it could have invited more pressure and we would have one less midfielder which means less players in the centre or less attackers which would have us resorting to kick it out everytime we get the ball to nobody for fulham to attack us (our attackers wouldn't win a single header with their height and physicality)

The problem is that is no way out with Chilwell at left wing, if he was at wing back, he would have been able to carry the ball out of our own half.

Poch probably realizes this guy cant play LB, poor ball retention and is a pressing tigger.

fugazi made up hipster phrases. 'pressing trigger' lmao he's played LB all his life and is more than capable on the ball. Chilwell is better on the ball than players like Walker that seem to have a pretty good career at full back,

Didn’t you get the memo? Players who come to us are either not allowed, or forget how, to play in their actual position.

Therefore we get Gusto at LB, Disasi at RB,  Chilly on the wing, Maatsan at atm, palmer at 9, Levi at LB, Jackson on the pitch, sterling at wingback etc

the only players that seem to play in their actual position all the time is the GK, Silva, Baddy, and Lesley

Chilly and James were both instrumental in a very good Chelsea side.

Where's this stuff about him being no good come from FFS 

Do you reckon I could get away with blaming Todd in some way for this ?

Sending players to press a full-back is exactly the kind of dumb sh*t that breaks apart organised pressing in the first place.

Ball retention? This is the 1st time I have ever heard somebody mention ball retention from lb.

Winger and wb offensively play in similar area, it depend on the team and the player. 

Putting extra defenders on and trying to play safer is a poor tactic at the best of times. Attack is the best form of defence. Take Silva off put Colwill  in the centre and chilwell at left back. Make sure the midfielders use the ball well. Put mudryck at left wing and sterling on the right. Play with confidence not like nervous Nellies. Good chance we score a second or at least have them looking over their shoulder.

Its a good job you don't use twitter/X, current popular thing since Mount left is to pretend Chilwell is a god awful LB for some reason...

Ah, the "English player" thing, some absolute dickheads on there, and unfortunately on here too now.

I’ve heard some absolute sh*te the last few weeks from fans (luckily not on here)

One was, “fans only want a Gallagher banner cause he’s white, blonde and English”

The d**khead obviously has no idea of the current banners at the ground!

Always astounds me seeing bollocks like that. Mason Mount was one of the most disrespected Chelsea players I've ever seen.

Morons basically, the hatred towards English players from a section of Chelsea "fans" is pathetic.

Might be LW as they want to ease him back before getting him to charge up and down the line.

Not all English players, they love them some Reece James and Madueke.
