If Lavia is on a reduced schedule and anyone else gets injured, we'll need CM reinforcements by January. We're short in that area on bodies and very possibly quality. Selling Conor looks a poor choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Been quite a bit of travelling for some of our players, so I would try and freshen it up a bit. I'd bring KDH in for Enzo, because both Enzo and Caicedo have been away in this break and I'd give Nkunku a start up front ahead of Jackson, for the same reason. I presume Disasi will have to start at RB and that James and Lavia aren't even near the bench yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling Conor looks a poor choice I’d try Cucu at DM . I reckon he’d do a good job. selling Connor was absurd ( money or no money) . And barely ever injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/chelsea-injury-update-trio-to-miss-bournemouth-away No James, Gusto or Lavia. Maresca said ‘Malo is still out and he is not available for tomorrow’s game,' our head coach explained. ‘Romeo looks very close [to returning], hopefully for the next game. Unfortunately, Reece needs more time.’ James is done, surely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Reece needs more time.’ James is done, surely. I’m mean re James. He has a three game ban at start of season and then gets injured without playing kicking a competitive ball! That captaincy has got to be removed for starters because he hardly ever plays. Enzo shouldn’t have it either. Palmer is obvious choice for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare his frame when we loaned him to Wigan to his frame today you can see he's bulked up a lot , we've been told in the past by the usual clever dickies that the world's best sprinters are built like tanks so it shouldn't matter but my argument is that the world's best sprinters aren't making sixty sprints per ninety minutes. He's too big , he should be told to slim down and sack his private trainer or face the consequences. You can be the best player in the World but if you don't get on the field nobody is interested 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is the message they often give when someone is injured, I remember hearing it a lot last season and the player it related to, wouldn't be seen for months. Should have kept Gallagher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be part of his problem. I’m very surprised he still looks overweight. Players with the frame of Gallagher and Palmer seem far more resilient ( but then Chilwell is also made of glass I suppose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great energy and a nice footballer, not a great defender as yet. Not a huge surprise considering he came through as a midfielder/attacker initially. He also only started playing football at like 10 or something, based on a recent media piece he did with Disasi that I posted the other day. Quite a shock to hear that.

Most modern full-backs seem to have been wide-forwards/midfielders, that have been ‘converted’ into wing-backs. Mind you, that goes back in time as far as Ashley Cole who was also a winger as a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
