Blue Armour

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.

A top class winger would have made the most of that counter. Garnacho unable to find Delap.

Estevao coming on.

Hopefully this will open up Wolves some more.

Finally

Earlier in the season, we were doing good from corners. Now for some reason every corner becomes short corner. WtF.

Neto at least looking more alive in the 2nd half. Can't do much. But still better.

Neto needs to be on the bench for a few games. He's been overused.

Need to take advantage when Wolves opens up their defense. Joao Pedro should have done better there.

Have to agree. Starting with Estavao would have been the more sensible option for this type of game. Only one in the squad with some kind of flair at this point in time.

Attackers are not able to do much against this Wolves defense. We need more aerial threat from Delap/Joao Pedro, or we need one of the players to use their flair & skill to dribble past a couple of Wolves players. Both looking unlikely atm.

That's been the case for a long time now.

When he starts over Acheampong who has been rested for the past two games, despite showing good form in his previous appearances, then yes - i have to ask why he gets a starting spot. If Acheampong returns to the starting 11 on Saturday over Chalobah or Fofana, I'll take back my comment. Until then, I'll question the intention of our squad planners. Maresca has made 85 changes to his starting 11 this season. More than any other manager. It's a strategy driven from the top, by Winstanley & co. The manager is not that crazy.

Lets see if this team can do better than the 4-3 result against wolves.

Personally was in favor of Ektike, but I was also impressed by the start Joao Pedro made at the CWC. Dropped completely off the radar after he took on full responsibility of filling in for Palmer/Delap.

Well deserved. Meanwhile our directors are twiddling their thumbs spending money on second rate wingers. And we have a manager (or whoever selects the lineup on matchdays) picking their favorites, like the bog standard Tosin or their new darling Hato. While giving an endless number of chances to injury crocks like Fofana and Badiashile. And probably trying to flip Acheampong for money.
