I don't care what formation or system we play. I just don't want to see Auba, Ziyech, Havertz or Jorginho start for us ever again. No heart, no fight, no skill, no cojones, no nothing! We've given them enough chances to prove their value and is it turns out they're all garbage(Jorginho used to be actually decent). Start playing youngsters instead of them and get rid of them on asap!

Mate, I completely agree with you, although I would probably add KK and Pulisic to your list!

You were born in Brazil that is true, bit spent many years in Italy under daddy Sarri and play for their national side.

You also have terrible fashion sense as your holiday swim trunks showed.

Ithink we can win this game comfortably. We have had a tough run with injuries, some hard games against man c and no recognized top level striker. Our defence was ageing badly.  We have a manager unproven at winning top level comps or managing world standard players. 
 

 

despite all that we have a. Lots of talent and well capable of beating the likes of Fulham.  we will only improve. 
 

potter may not work out but in this case he does deserve quite a bit more time.

Win this one, lose the next one? Or maybe win a couple, then lose a couple? Welcome to mid-table life. Could be worse.

Fulham away has traditionally never been a walk in the park even when the teams been in top form, so I'm grasping onto the paradoxical straw that now Chelsea is a a mid table team with inferior 2 bob players they will in fact walk out onto the pitch at The Cottage and batter Fulham !

Hat trick for Havertz so there !!

Although those two have been kinda poor too, I wouldn't put them in the same pot with those 4. Imo managers and players deserve at least a full season before fully judged...which falls on KK.  And Pulisic at least puts in some effort even though he does fall on his arse pretty easy😅

I think we’ll lose this one. Fulham on a good run, confident etc. We are the worst team in the league, can’t score goals or create. Their crowd will be up for it. Recipe for disaster 

2-2.

Given Potter is half a season in to hit 5 year 60mill deal, and his staff were given similar length contracts then it may well cost 60mill to sack them and possibly another pay out if a replacement is coming directly from another club. If that is so you are getting to Enzo figures just to dismiss a manager, coaches and hire their replacements.

I can’t believe there isn’t a payout clause (please God)

We'll probably lose. Fulham is a dogsh*t team normally, on a good run and we're on a downward spiral with a manager that is not good at stopping downward spirals

After City some will want to make a point.

If we have Kova and Zakaria in midfiled we have a good chance to win this.

The new boys coming off the bench will likely have impact too as Fulham have not seen them play yet. 

 

With Joao Felix we have a chance!

I doubt he'll play this soon after signing.

In less than 24hrs? I don't think so

without Sterling Havertz Mount Koulibaly Aspi...  we have a chance. 🙂

Be nice of Fulham to score two goals for us. 

There are Fulham fans who would think getting relegated but turning us over is a fantastic season. They hate us more than anyone. So do QPR.

While we are on the subject of team selection......is Ross Barkley still on our books ?........I'll get my coat 🤕

Well so far it seems Felix was registered in time so he can slot in to the "most likely to give a sh*t about trying 11"

 

Kepa

 

Chalobah 

Silva

Badiashile 

Cucurella

 

Zakaria

Kovacic

 

Hutchinson 

Carney

Felix

 

DD Fofana

 

Would make the game more interesting.

He moved to Nice in the summer. Scored his first goal for them recently.

Felix played on the weekend, so he should be fit to play at least a cameo. I reckon lack of training with the team won't even be an issue, quite a few players looked like they never played with each other. We just need a win to get this doom and gloom off for a few days, already had the ' save our season meeting', what else is there to do ?

Match Day !

Come On Chelsea!!

I can see him coming of the bench. He is match fit and attacker is by far the easiest player to add without disrupting the team.

Yeah he's hardly going to upset the balance of our attack is he
