My thoughts exactly. Confidence is building but still needs some tending to. 

Despite their awful form , I've always thought they look very dangerous eg v Spurs earlier and Saints the other week.

Very dangerous game for us if we're not careful 

I was going to go tomorrow but I've just found out I'm presenting match of the day.

They asked me but it’s my day to manage Watford unfortunately.

Mudryk

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!

I wonder how the lesser spotted Mudryk’s ‘pre season’ is going. Maybe today the 90 million pound future Balon d’Or winner will be given the last five minutes to start building up some match fitness and confidence and start the long slow adaption to the completely different world of football that is the EPL.

He can't play because of lack of match fitness.

He hasn't got match fitness because of lack of playing time.

Catch 22

Reminds me of trying to secure employment years ago. 

Recruiter - "We can't hire you because you have no experience". 

Me - "How do I get experience if no one hires me?"

Recruiter - "Get a job"

Same energy and effort as Tuesday please.....UP THE CHELS !

Job centre said they were funding retraining schemes,  it was up to me to tell them what  job I wanted to be trained in 

Me .. burglar alarms ? Nope don't fund that 

Me.. Locksmith?..Nope no funding 

Me ... Can you just give me the list of stuff you fund ?

Nope...it's up to you to tell us what you want. .Only you know what you want, we can't guide you !

 

 

 

 

 

 

If we match the effort and energy on Tuesday we will be good.

Worried about Chilwell but good team nonetheless 

I thought chalobah would play right wing back 

Great opportunity to consolidate the good body of work we've produced in the past week.

Team line up looks good in the circumstances, and the only changes from what I can see are forced (James and Sterling going out).

So, RLC in for James and Mudryk in for Sterling.

No argument with that.

Badiashile is a bit unlucky to miss out vs Cucurella.

Looking forward to seeing how Chilwell and Mudryk combine down the left flank !

Well that is the first time I got a Potter lone up right....

Happy with that team, let's hope we can ride the wave of momentum from midweek. Looking forward to seeing Mudryk 

Potter is learning what his best team and formation is, we have top class wingbacks with back up coming in for RJ, it should be default for us to play 3 at the back and overload on the flanks, forced changes but I’m looking forward to see chilli combine with mudryk

Think Mudryk will drift centrally at ST

Happy with the team, Mudryk starting in place of sterling is a good sign as it could have been any of Pulisic, Gallagher, Madueke and that would be a red flag for our biggest signing after Enzo.

While Badiashile certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped I think it's fine giving Cucu a bit more playing time before he rotates Chilly against Everton with the CL in mind. 

 

Come on Chelsea!!!

 

I hope they run for 90 and play it fast.

As the Pool just found out there are no easy games in the premiership.
