I know this is your thing @coco but I'm already bored of the International break, maybe Chelsea needs it though!

I'd start Mudryk for this, give the guy some game time! I want to see him alongside Jackson for a good part of the game. Sterling on the other side.

I expect is the same team at the last 2 league games.

I'd even be happy to see Trycky Mykky play centrally. He looked decent at times last year when picking up a central role. Enzo and Caicedo playing deeper.

So far your favorite British guys play, you are ok. Who are better talents, especially now that we have good midfielders to play with them, is it Madueke, Mudryk and Palmer, or Sterling and Gallagher?

How on Earth is Sterling and Gallagher even coming to the mind of an human being with how devastating people like Madueke etc. are.

We have good midfielders and you will put Gallagher and Sterling up front, and when Sterling and Gallagher spoil everything they do, you will allow the world to be saying we spent £1b and our team is bad. You purchase top players and you refuse to give them good teammates, how will their performance show?

Now that the midfield is ok, let's use Madueke, Palmer, and Mudryk, and Jackson, those are top players. And let the whole world stop fighting with Mudryk, allow him to settle, last season was bad for the whole team, but now we have a good Midfield, let them play together and have a good balance, we will be ok.

How can we have top midfielders like we have and put poor attackers in front of them? Later some Chelsea fans will still open their eyes until clubs like Arsenal steal Madueke and Mudryk from us. All these clubs know these players are good, and if we don't make these players happy, they will want to go to another team. 

If they go to another team, you will now see some of our fans regretting. Enough of all these, where is our pride? When the team had Didier Drogba and we wanted to play against Arsenal, we had pride, we wanted to win, this is how we should be thinking, it seems part of the fan base don't have that pride again.

It's like I hear some Chelsea fans saying Arsenal are a bigger team than them, they think Arsenal are bigger than them.

Overall Sterling has been one of our best players so far this season. I like Madueke but I think for now he will be starting mostly from the bench. 

I think it would be interesting to start Palmer in Gallagher's position though. Give Mudryk a start and move Chilwell into LB where he is more comfortable.

Our owners have invested in the team now, some fans will not support them, if things go WRONG, maybe these fans will still want the owners to spend another £1b on the team.

I'm already seeing something like that on Twitter. Some people are saying they should have bought old players, are the old players available? Do their teams want to sell them? Dybala case is an example.

Maybe these fans will be raising placards that the owners are not good.

You are gradually getting what I'm saying, at least you have agreed with Mudryk and Palmer.

For Madueke, who is a better footballing talent between Madueke and Sterling? From the U21s, clearly Madueke is a better talent than Sterling.

That you score a few goals doesn't make you a good player. We had the Sterling against Forest and he disgraced us, because I can only call it a disgrace after spending £1b on a squad and Forest defeats us at home.

Both Sterling and Gallagher disgraced us at Stamford bridge. This is what you should understand. This is why Madueke and co are still better than them. If some Chelsea fans say they are the ones they want, then they should not blame Pochetino again if the team loses.

Look at City, Sterling was a second choice, he plays only at times when the team wants to rest the first choice players. The first choice players play the top matches. We are at thesame level at Chelsea. If we bought the best wingers, then they must play, Sterling is second choice to them. To those who think he is their first choice this season, that they don't want to see Madueke and Mudryk, we saw the team against Forest, if we want what happened against Forest to continue, then we can continue to use Sterling and Gallagher, but if we want a change, let's use Madueke and Mudryk.

 

Edited September 4, 20232 yr by hephzibah

It has started already, we spent £1b, we have good midfielders, we will put mediocre attackers in front of them, we can't score goals, and what happened last season will happen again.

I don't know who has problem, whether it's Pochetino, or the owners, or the fans, who knows. It's so annoying. Do these managers want success for Chelsea, do the owners want success for Chelsea, do the fans want success for Chelsea? 

Good midfielders will only do well when the attackers are good. If we have good midfielders and the attackers are not good, we can't get goals, we saw what happened against Forest.

In the days we had Fabregas, we still had Costa, Hazard and Willian with him. The team is eleven players, All the eleven players must be top class to achieve success, I hope we understand that. If you think because you have Enzo, you can play a poor player with him, because that poor player is your family member or your country man, and you want him to play by all means, you can't have success, because one person cannot do the job.

Eventually the fans will start saying people like Enzo or Caicedo are not good. They will say they spent £100m on them and they are not doing well. How will the team do well when you play Gallagher and Sterling with them?

Enough of killing ourselves please.

I want to see Enzo as an 8 and Chilwell at LB! Enough with this Chilwell at LW wing and Enzo as a 10 now. For a team struggling for goals as we do, that's not the way to go. I'd like to see this:

               Sanchez

Gusto Silva Colwill Chilwell

          Caicedo Enzo

Madueke Gallagher Sterling

               Jackson

Palmer for Gallagher.

Agree with the 2 centre backs rather than 3. Think we need a creator at 10 though rather than a runner in Gallagher.

I just think that Gallagher doesn't deserve to be dropped with his performances so far this season. I also see Conor as more than just a runner. He's also a goal threat as well as a decent passer (not great but can play some cute stuff in and around the box) and Enzo can do the creating from the 8 as well. Palmer to get minutes off the bench for me.

Gallagher isn't the one that has the touch/dribbling/passing ability to beat a low block, think that is where Palmer has the advantage.

Think now is the time to ease Gallagher out of the side personally. Nothing wrong on his part, just that better players are now available and a chemistry needs to form.

Yes Gallagher has been good, no doubt, and probably doesn't deserve to be dropped, I just think he lacks something as an attacking mid when the box is packed with players.

It's not about G's energy or commitment. He doesn't have the skill level to dribble and deceive. Palmer does, certainly based on his work at MC. And he has a rocket shot. Time to find out what he can do.

You struggled to break the low block of Forest down last match, and you still want Gallagher in this one. Both Sterling and Gallagher cannot do that, that was what happened against Forest. 

Most teams cannot match us in terms of quality, so thy will want to play a low block against us. We cannot continue to play Gallagher and Sterling, this was what caused everything that happened to us last season. We were clearly better than all our opponents. 

Only Palmer, Madueke and Mudryk will be ok for us. Chelsea fans can either take this or leave it. You don't want Sterling and Gallagher on the bench, then be ok losing matches.

4 some reason I thought Pooch might try Palmer in stead of Jackson

Zola would be good... magician

That was what every team did against us last season. We cannot return to last season. Gallagher is not ideal for that team.

How can we have better personnel that teams, and they defeat us. This happened throughout last season because some stubborn fans want certain players to play. My friends who support other teams make fun of me a lot, I'm tired of it, what happened last season must not happen this season again.

Lets wait and see, how many players came who should get us through a low block but after all it was just some fantasy.

Completely agree.  Let the 5-7 defensive minded players do just that, and the rest focus on putting the ball in the net.  Want to see more personality and bravery from those on the pitch. 

Away from home sides are less likely to sit back and simply defend. We need to be more attack minded ourselves and set up with pace to burn them with.

 

Petrovic

 

Gusto

Silva

Colwill

Chilwell

 

Caicedo

Enzo

 

Madueke 

Palmer

Mudryk

 

Jackson

So everyone and their mother are dying to see a 4-2-3-1 regardless of how it goes, I hope the manager remembers that he has balls somewhere and starts playing it.

Why do people think Sanchez is not a good goalkeeper? People want the best goalkeeper in the world, like Alisson, Onana, Maignan, or who else? But those goalkeepers are not available for us now, their teams will not sell them to us. Therefore, we have to encourage the one we have to do well. Sanchez is an ok goalkeeper.

Because you concede a goal against Forest doesn't make you a bad goalkeeper, moreso, we should stick with one goalkeeper for some time till he disappoints us.

Though I don't know if Petrovic is better than him, the better player should play. Sanchez has a good height, he's strong, he can make good saves. So, why do some people hate him
