Lol

Yeah, these are the kind of decisions where Maresca seems to panic for. He should have kept Estavao on to try and force more yellow cards out of Arsenal. Anyway, let's see.

Arghh...why. They should have removed Joao Pedro and played with the false 9. Garnacho coming on is fair. Just dont agree with the choice of sub.

I dont think Ramos ever sorted out the red card issues in his senior years either, lol.

I think more than this game, Caicedo being out for the next 3 fixtures is what stings the most. At least Palmer is back, so hopefully we can offset Caicedo's absence. Need James and Gusto to fill in when needed.

No expectations for this match. Arsenal are probably the most in form and well rounded team in the world atm. Because it's a home game, my hope is that the team at least turns up, regardless of the result, and doesn't simply roll over like Spurs.

Estavao signed a deal with Nike at the age of 10. Youngest Brazilian player to do so. Probably Nike is the one we should give credit to for scouting him 🤣

Also, that embrace between James and Enzo when the former was subbed off, was great to see. The pair of them have shown great character in the past few matchweeks. Between them and Caicedo, there seems to be a spine of a team taking shape.

Post match interview of Estavao with Chelsea fan Alex Aljoe.

They targeted Postecoglou as well.

Yep, its the main reason why the likes of Tosin and George continue to get minutes. A bit of window shopping for potential buyers.

It should be obvious by now. It's not Maresca making all the calls with squad selection and subs. The hierarchy above him WANT to give certain players as much exposure and minutes as possible. There was an article in the Mail about this a few weeks back saying this is a calculated risk. They know we might have the odd draw or loss here and there because of it, but the directors accept it as necessary step.

Some of the reactions on the net to Palmer's latest mishap are so overblown It's as if he's out regularly like Lavia or Badiashile. This is the 1st ever season where he's been out for such an extended period. Symptoms of the modern football fan with attention deficit syndrome I guess.., ready to turn on a player and boo a former club player at the turn of a dime.

"We have a Disasi" - Winstanley, probably.

Could be wrong, but Palmer is out till at least December right? Don't think he'll make it for the Barcelona/Arsenal games. Wouldn't want him to start either, unless his match fitness is up.

No matter the result tomorrow, Chelsea will finish the weekend in the top 3. Good way to sign off before the international break.

Agreed., cheers.

Did I say anything false?

Read my post, please.

Against an open Wolves defense, Neto and Garnacho are able to do something

Finally Garnacho and Neto contribute

Less than a minute, Estavao does what Garnacho and Neto couldn't do most of the game. Go figure.

Idiots should be huddling around Estavao. He was the one who created the chance.

Estavao instant impact.
