It'll be pretty cool if he is unveiled today as a signed player 

I haven't seen the teamsheet but it wouldn't surprise me if Gallagher plays some part today. Further job interview. 

Would not surprise me in the least if Gallagher transfers to Palace on a permanent during this window

Fofana doesn’t start. Havertz does. 
 

Incredible. 

Mount and Havertz in starting 11 ... Lost for words. WHY????

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Badiashile, Hall, Gallagher, Jorginho, Chukwuemeka, Ziyech, Havertz, Mount #CFC subs: Kovacic, Aubameyang, Loftus-Cheek, Bettinelli, Koulibaly, D Fofana, Azpilicueta, Cucurella, Humphreys

Chalobah starts FML

I can’t say if I like the line up or not, we haven’t got many options. Thrilled to see Badishile, Chuku and Hall. Not very happy about Ziyech. 

I would guess that is a back four with Chalobah at RB?

 

-----------------------------Kepa

Chalobah----Badiashile------Silva--------Hall

---------------------------Jorginho
------------------Gallagher--------Mount

Ziyech-----------------------------------Chukwuemeka

--------------------------Havertz

Was reading through the lineup and actually thinking I was looking forward to seeing it until I saw Gallagher and Mount and the same lineup.

They don't work together it should be so clear by now.

Pleased for Hall getting another start 

Will be interesting to see Badashilie play. Hope that he can impress.

🤣🤣 no way we win this with that team 🤣

Hall has always looked like he has potential. 
 

That forward line worries me though. No goals whatsoever. Pleased with the line up.  I’m glad we’re signing new players because these forwards need to know that they will be replaced if they don’t perform.

Never mind that, we have seen how raw Gallagher is in the pivot. Why did Potter bench Kovacic? Feels like he just randomly rotates a player here or there?

I would keep him until Mount's contract is sorted. If the negotations go wrong then we have a similar player to fall back on.

But yeah if/when Mason signs then we should look at cashing in. Given what he offers a side like Palace we should be holding out for around £40m.

I fear its a 433 two 8s system which is even worse.

Some good and bad.

Good - Badiashile getting his debut, Chukwemeka starting, no Azpi at RB

 

Bad - Hall playing over Cucurella, Mount and Havertz still in the team ready to put in more 2/10 performances.

 

Probably About The Best Team We Could Put Out, Would Of Preferred Fofana To Havertz/Mount

Gallagher scored against Crystal Palace last time, so lets hope for that again. At home some of these players need to put in a performance. Fed up of seeing the likes of Havertz strolling around the pitch. 

This on TV anywhere or is it only for people with dodgy streams and tickets?

they decided Newcastle is more important today

Using Jorginho like this is like placing a talented Air Traffic controller in the cockpit and expect him to fly the plane. And then blame HIM when it goes to sh*t.

Blame the guy who put him there.  Potter in this instance.

To be fair, Kova was terrible last match, and I say so as prob his biggest fan on here. That said, Gallagher just seems to have no technique.

I mean they are they are in the top 4 playing a team that spanked us in our last game so I get it but still I have a craving for apathetic football and wondered where we were playing?

Gallagher,  Mount and Jorghino

Such an impressive combination so far this season
