The real Young Chelsea team with an old man playing in the 6 shirt. That was a great season to watch, Div 2 is a great place to be promoted from. Gary Locke playing, one of my favourites. And Wilkins when he was still good. @Michael Tucker I guess we were on a winning run - Droy dropped again. 3 minutes ago, Sciatika said: Gary Locke's hair!!! Probably why I liked him. A little longer than I could have got away with in my sixthform. Shorts look bigger than I remember them then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Will struggle to watch this one as I’ll be doing a lot of food prep for the big day. Although, may not be the worst thing as I can then ignore it and not let it ruin my Christmas! Stupid time to have a match, in my opinion, feel really sorry for our loyal travelling fans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I would go with 4231, we look so much better like that and Gusto has to start, I’d be tempted to go with Maatsen as well, but that may be too much.

Petrovic Disasi - Silva - Badiashile - Gusto Gallagher - Caicedo Sterling - Palmer - Mudryk Jackson I can't see Silva playing again so soon. Gusto right back, Disasi and Badiashile with Colwill or Maatsen at LB Midfield two picks itself assuming Enzo unwell.

I’d like Maatsen to start as well, I’m just not sure Poch will do it. Colwill unlikely to be fit I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly , although Maatsen hasn't been great in his cameos , Poch doesn't seem to like two full backs who get forward , afterall we'd hate to leave the opposition guessing which flank we'd be attacking from wouldn't we. He's a coward more scared of what gaps the opposition can exploit than what we can do to them . In a way I can almost understand it given our clownlike defending and awful XG figures but I think lack of trust infests the mindset of the players eventually , he's the anti Postecoglu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when have two attacking full backs been available at the same time? He has been very open in his concerns about the lack of height in the team. If you have two short full backs, along with any of Enzo, Gallagher, Caicedo, Sterling etc you can see why 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevelourfog Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Maatsen won't be starting because he'll shortly be off. No chance I'll be able to watch this, but then I couldn't watch last night or the Spurs game so maybe that's no bad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think its a clear he is off in January and that is why we have seen so little of him this season. I wouldn't be surprised if the board have said to Poch that at least one of the homegrown will need to be moved on in January (Gallagher, Chalobah, Maatsen). Gallagher has been pivotal to the team, Trev is injured, so I expect Maasten is going to be the sacrificial lamb. Poch seems little point integrating him as a genuine first team option, when his future is somewhere else. It's a shame as I think he is a very decent player and one who will go on to do well for another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no point have two attacking full backs if you concede a couple of goals a game through having too many short players at set pieces. Mourinho was the same. I remember in his first spell explaining how his subs were sometimes dictated by the height of those going off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Jackson nor Broja have earned the striker spot. Worth a try at false 9. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
