Surely not? Although from what I've seen of both I'd rather him than Burstow.

Albeit Burstow does have more career goals than Washington. 6 vs 2 ... LOL  🙂 

The inexperience we are trusting in is quite ground-breaking (being kind!)

Santos loan takes our bench down to 6 for tonight LOL.

I wonder who Pochettino will promote from the academy for the other 3 spots ? Humphreys for sure. Maybe Moreira and one of the strikers ? Ronnie Stutter perhaps ?

Or maybe they will fast track Washington straight into the match day squad ?

Has Washington got a work permit yet?

I'm sure he does, isn't he a hospital orderly?

 

Tempted to go 4-4-2 for this one with our various absences. Despite what Pochettino says I don't believe Caicedo is ready to start:

 

Sanchez

Gusto
Disasi
Colwill
Chilwell

Gallagher
Fernandez

Sterling
Hudson-Odoi

Jackson
Burstow

I have no concerns we will play well. Only concern as of right now is getting the ball in the back of the net convincingly, and particularly from our attackers. 

Safest time to post in here, before the angry mob have warmed up there talking finger.

Anyway 3pts please, atm anyway, anyhow by any means…..KTBFFH

Shall I install another live match chatroom so people can get an escape instead? Remember that @Valerie with Gem, Lofty, Bluebeard and them!

Ahh those were the civilised days... When the match got really boring, we discussed food. And Bluebeard always found a reason to insult the French.

I've been optimistic and predicted a draw instead of a defeat. But realistically I know it's asking too much.

I am expecting a boring game where Luton sit 11 men behind the ball and we struggle to break them down, then they catch us on the break. Most likely Ross Barkley scoring at some point.

We are rolling back the years tonight people, gone are the days that Chelsea don't know how to score. 

5-0 Chelsea, Jackson to get his first goals with an Enzo screamer. 

P.S No, you can't have any of what I'm smoking

Excited to see more of Jackson, I loved what I’ve seen so far. He’s the most complete striker I’ve seen for a long time, he has absolutely everything you’d want from a striker. I honestly think we have struck gold with him.

I fancy Enzo, Jackson (2) and Colwill to break their Chelsea goal ducks tonight 

4-0 Chelsea

The match didn't need to get boring before BB did that, it was often his opening sentence....

What on earth is this? Optimism?? You don't belong here, get out!

Maybe Colwill and Jackson, but given his miss in pre season and that awful penalty I am not so sure Enzo is a goal scorer. Maybe will have a ratio like Maka did.

Still safe, though I can sense a degree or more heat, making it tepid atm.

Make a group where you have 10-15 yrs membership of SE, at least we’ll be civil to each other, not to many F and C bombs unloaded, 🤣🤣🤣

Rumoured lineup: Sanchez, Gusto, Silva, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell, Caicedo, Enzo, Gallagher Sterling, Jackson

sounds like he is still using Chiwell as a LW. 3 games into the season, and I am already tired. Team has no creativity.

Ughh I bloody hope it's not a back 3 again... I can get why he used it the last two games but not this one surely... 

come on lads don't ruin my weekend 

Same weird hybrid system again Chilwell left wing or wing back. 

Brutal. 

If this is the plan, god forbid we get any centre back injuries since we are starting every single one we have available now. 

Anyway, hopefully the performance is good again but we get 3 points on the board, and a nice home debut for Caicedo.

we have the most religious midfield duo in the league so we need to have faith

I told you mate. 

I had a lingering fear for the past few weeks that Poch be subdued to play a back 3. It's coming to fruition. 

 

Bench is brutal too so not too many options for Poch other than Maatsen and Madueke with the latter probably short of fitness too. 

Still think the amount of defensive players on the pitch for a home game against Luton is a bit overkill. 

Worried for goals again this season definitely.

gallagher as a 10?
