Would like to see Casadei start. Enzo and Caicedo are returning from friendlies in S. America and turn up knackered - as per usual

It would be amazing to have one of Lavia or big Les back before then.

I quite like the XX 😉

Fun fact: they are all Chelsea supporters who were born in the Chelsea and Westminster hospital.

In terms of team management it's probably the best thing to do , try to get him scoring again and a bit of confidence , but he has to tell him that Chelsea value him as a vital part of the squad regardless of how Southgate views him and to concentrate on helping the side and not personal glory , I mean he'd be lying saying it but it still needs to be said to salvage things

I really can't see how Lavia (or any of the other long-term injured) can safely feature in the PL without at least 200 mins of reserve/u21/friendly/u23/PL2 (whatever they play these days). 

I was talking to someone about this the other day actually... We have several players that have come back from significant injuries this season and then just got hurt again really quickly.  Has anyone seen any reports of them playing any sort of football to get minutes before their PL returns? I can't say i've seen it at all.  Going from 4-5 months out straight into PL football (and we're never coasting in games are we) seems like a really, really bad idea. 

I'd love to see Lavia back over the coming weeks, but he'll need proper match minutes before that could be possible surely?

 

Also, 1000% Sterling starts this next game.  He really shouldn't, but he will.  It's Burnley at home, so he should be looking at it as a huge opportunity to put in a proper performance and get among the goals.  If however he plays like he has been the last few weeks, the reaction he got on Sunday will be dwarfed.

I can live with that.

We have a saying in Norway: "Vinn eller forsvinn". In English for the common man: win or get the h*** out of here 🙂

No.  None of them played in any development games before coming back.  Just training ground work and then limited PL minutes.

This has gone on General Sale which is a surprise for a PL game. I've only ever seen that for Cup games.

Look who's the opponent 🙂

But I am also a bit surprised.

A few have and you’re right it is unusual. There were seats unused in the west stand at both ends of the lower tier. Probably a couple of hundred at least not used.

Our relative lack of success will be most likely effecting this. There are quite a number of STH’s obviously selling their seats as there are clearly ‘football tourists’ and occasional visitor increases seen in the stadium.

Risky to spend billions on a redevelopment or new ground, gambling on the teams future success.

Up to and including last season, games very, very rarely went in general sale.

That just seems absolutely insane to me. And not something we’ve seen before have we? If that’s a Manager decision, it’s a really, really silly one

As suspected - Enzo will have clocked a few air miles during international break before the match on Satuday. Would like to see Cassadei start for this one - especially after scoring in the U21s. But Poch will probably go for Gallagher and Caicedo

Agree. If Casadei is unable to start at home to Burnley, then you have to wonder what is the point?
