You don't sit a player on 350K a week.

If he's been that bad you do....when the last time he won a one v one?  He runs into brick walls each and every time.  I'd be inclined to flog him to Saudi and get some decent money and to get that big a wage bill off the books.  This is what £350k gets you...9 goals + 3 assists in 40 games

Disappointing line-up. Was hoping to see the new midfield in action. We might just scrape a win, though, if we're lucky.

They tried, he is not interested as his family is in London and happy here.

Going to shiver everytime that West Ham have a set piece situation. Especially now they have JWP to deliver them in or actually shoot in direct free-kicks.

We mustn't give away any free-kicks around our box but at least we don't have short arms in goal.

23 Premier League goals combined from starters today. Hope we can increase that by 10-15% today

You just know Gallagher is going to give away a silly foul, JWP is going to bang it in and Conor gets dogs abuse for pages on his thread on here.

Bit uninspiring line that was hoping to see the caciedo and. Lavia start

Our biggest goal threat is Jackson, followed by Chilwell, Silva and Disasi, imo. 

Somewhat surprised that caisado isn't in the starting line up, but he hasn't had a lot of time to gel with the team and Poch isn't that desperate.

Hope we surprise everyone and get a couple of early goals to knock the stuffing out of West Ham quickly! Come on the Blues!

Bloody Nkunku, why of all our players did our best goal scorer by far have to get injured?

And @Zetasaid before "if we are lucky". Lady luck long gave us the finger a while again mate lmao.

Negative response to a negative selection against a side we should not fear.

didn't we outplay Liverpool with this team?

Wonder who gets injured today. 

So long as it's not Jackson. We have no replacement striker at all.

Game finished 1-1 though, will you be happy if we outplay West Ham and draw the match?

Don't we always outplay Liverpool though?

Caciedo kept missing pre season games due to transfer dealings can’t be match fit.

Fair point,

last year we do pretty well against them 

Come on Chelsea! KTBFFH

Gallagher didn't do anything to deserve to be dropped right away for a signing who maybe hasn't trained that much with the first team 

therefore this line-up makes sense to me 

Poch said you don't get bought to play, you are bought to train and then you can play when you deserve it

a team full of kids and newcomers needs at least one or two experienced grownups.
