We need to praise Maresca as well. We have a manager that realizes once a plan is not working, he makes the right changes. Tosin, Sancho, Nkunku..ALL great chsnges that helped turn the game in our favor massively.
You have to play well or you will get taken off by the Boss...unless youre the Meteoric Super Cold Palmer 😂 but yeah I hope we keep improving like this and we have so many talents to change up dynamic of the game.
Team - Chelsea
Felt surreal seeing Sancho, Nkunku and Felix alongside Palmer. Absolute star power

Sancho-Nkunku-Palmer
Who
Says
No?
Team - Chelsea
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i just tuned in now and saw
Team - Chelsea
Exactly..especially games were we have more of the possession.
Team - Chelsea
Platter by Sancho..Jackson cant finish that one. We need more attacking sequences like that.
Team - Chelsea
Forreal. Thats why we should give Palmer more touches to dictate the play and set up Madueke to just get us a goal.
Team - Chelsea
You can see the difference in decision making already between Sancho and Neto in that 1 sequence.
Team - Chelsea
Alright Sancho coming on. Neto has been non existent but that is partly do to the midfield not linking with the attack properly either.
Well atleast a change of dynamic. A manager not afraid to make changes is very good
Team - Chelsea
Imagine having Chalobah at home and using Disasi
Team - Chelsea
Shocking half, cannot get a flow to the game. The midfield pivot of Caicedo and Veiga is not working but Bournmouth are just fouling at every opportunity.
Team - Chelsea
SHOCKING first half. We need to do better. Too slow, too sloppy and lack of hunger to get goals. Maresca better get on that @#% halftime.
Team - Chelsea
Disasi turns slower than truck
Team - Chelsea
No connection between the midfield and forwards. Desperately needed Enzo or Lavia in this game
Team - Chelsea
Maybe put neto as the rw and bring on sancho for the lw probably either felix or nkunku too but we need control in midfield, caicedo acc done well but defence needs to wake up. Gk done well too actually.
Team - Chelsea
This one
Team - Chelsea
Why tf ain't tosin starting in first place?
Team - Chelsea
one Enzoless game and we are struggling to get ball forward
Team - Chelsea
Honestly, THIS is the type of game where we need Enzo. We can't pass out the back under pressure to save our lives without him
Team - Chelsea
Time to do an Onana
Team - Chelsea
Called it
Team - Chelsea
Oh my days Sanchez has shut me up
Team - Chelsea
oh my Disaster!
Team - Chelsea
Thats right Maresca..focus only at the task ahead. Do they best we can this season and improve.

Lineup I wanna see against Bournemouth:
===============================
---------------------Sanchez
----------Fofana-----Tosin------Colwill
---------------Caicedo--Cucurella
Noni------Palmer-------------KDH-----Sancho
---------------------Jackson
===============================
* I'd rest Enzo for this game given he's traveled far and played for his national team. I'd do the same for Caicedo but don't think Lavia will be ready to start a game.
* 2nd half subs: Nkunku for Nico - Neto for Noni - Mudryk for Sancho - Felix for Palmer - Veiga for Cucurella
===============================
need to win this game. we're already doing a good job of creating chances, just need to be more efficient. I'm guessing that Tosin coming in and Cucurella inverting to support Caicedo will help us defensively as well.
Team - Chelsea
Cold Palmer the man oblivious to pressure
I can admit the time we first bought him to me we basically bought Phil Fodens shadow, I thought he was someone we had to wait for like a year and a half maybe to watch as he adapts, the only difference he had between him and Havertz is that he played as the focal point of the team with so much ease and composure, his penalties is class, play making is class he doesn’t the strongest shots but can ease the ball in way cleaner then guys like Havertz and Isak. I think one flaw I have always had with him which isn’t much of a flaw now was his nonexistent position he constantly drifted around the 9, 8 and right wing spaces whilst enzo and Caicedo were also in their own space and players were far away to pass to, build up play in the midfield was nonexistent and we constantly got steamrolled even by relegation battle teams.
He has the foundations to becoming one of the best 10s in football and I’m glad to still be alive to see it.

He doesn't need UECL teams to boost his numbers. he can do that by farming the PL sides. it's the likes of Mudryk and Felix who could benefit from farming the European sides. also pretty sure he can be included back once we reach the KO stages.
Team - Chelsea
But way worse injury record last season tho. Imo 40 for him would be amazing.
Team - Chelsea
different context. higher caliber of player, dearth of alternatives in his position, homegrown, English, and as you said with years left on his contract. don't think he'll be pushing for a move either, so we can easily ask for and expect a much bigger fee.
Team - Chelsea
Look at Chiesa, similar case and went for 15. One yeae on his contract tho.
Team - Chelsea
he's at least worth 50m for me. had he not been injury-prone he'd easily be a 100m+ player.
Team - Chelsea
Can’t expect anyone to pay a huge fee for someone that misses that much game time, but obviously more than 20m we need
Team - Chelsea
those cheap mfs don't pay big fees for players anymore. would probably offer 20m maximum. Don't think we'll find an agreement.
Team - Chelsea
I think Real Madrid, I’ve always thought if he leaves Chelsea he goes there
Team - Chelsea
sadly we're getting close to that point. either he gets fit and plays 30+ games this year, or we'll have to move on from him. watch City sign him for 40m though and somehow get him to go through an entire season without injuries.
Team - Chelsea
James still has an another few weeks out, what is the point of this guy anymore? Can’t believe it though, what a waste of a phenomenal player
Team - Chelsea
If Nkunku is able to help Enzo/Lavia defend OOP and play as b2b then this would be a good midfield, with Lavia as a starter it would be very good because with Enzo and Nkunku defending it would be very difficult
Team - Chelsea
Nah 3-2-4-1 with Nkunku and Palmer as the two CAMs. And yes, bench Enzo, but Maresca doesn’t have the balls to do it after he made him captain (I hope I’m wrong)
Team - Chelsea
This is the striker I really wanted all along. If he comes to the Bridge in January I would be so happy.
Team - Chelsea
Please tell me there’s a chance

No, just no, fuck no. This shit is not fucking fair, not by any definition. Internet is so full of shitty people that finding a half decent person feels like finding a treasure. And you my friend, have been much more than that, an absolute gem. I hope you remember that on my previous account, you had promised me that If I ever came to Ireland, we'd drink some Jameson together. Now, I know you have other commitments, but dammnit you owe that drink. So I need you to take care of yourself, get all fit and fine, I will come to have that drink with you. I have tons and tons of respect for you. My best wish are with you, and I have utmost confidence that yours gonna beat this bitch and come back stronger. You're an absolute gem, remember that. Speedy recovery my brother.

This will be my last comment on this website. I've just got diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer.
Have only been here 2 years but it was a fun to engage, debate, argue and all that nonsense haha. I'm going to miss the interactions... but nonetheless, stay safe, live well and make sure y'all get your regular check ups.
Nothing more to say, see y'all on the other side.
GGMU.

Fair point 😭
Team - Chelsea
It would work but only if Guardiola was our manager, he has these kind of line ups and it works. Maybe when the team matures with Maresca he will make it work.
Team - Chelsea
This man needs to play, the only signing in years that excited me because he was an already incredible player and not a 30 million unknown gamble or a 100 million ordinary player. The best footballer in the whole team bar Palmer, yet he can hardly get on the pitch

worth noting that after matchweek 6 last season, we were on 5 points
Team - Chelsea
He was set to sign the salary increase so it looks like they finally announce it. I hope Jackson really steps up this season cause the club and Maresca has shown faith in him. If he has a great season we do not need to search hard in the Striker market again.
Team - Chelsea
I dont think Im wrong in expecting us to pummel Crystal palace into the ground today despite or disastrous hiccup at Servette.
We are unbeaten in 14 matches against them and we score goals for fun when we play them..especially at home. Then again this young team is showing early signs of inconsistency and being a bit shakier when playing at home so anything is possible.
Still Palace has been poor so far and we need to play like how we normally play against them. COYB🔵
