Badiashile should be back for this and James, Broja, Lavia are also close to coming back.

Sounding very much like the same stat gurus who kept waiting for Werner and co. to start posting monster attacking numbers I'd wait till November before concluding the worst is yet to come. Seen enough in the games and with Enzo playing well that we can get better in attack

Long long season ahead I think the doom and gloom here will be lifted partially as Lavia and Palmer begin playing and Ben Chilwell is moved back to his defensive position. Even though we've dropped points, the performances have been okay to good so far. Enzo misses a pen vs West Ham which could have taken the game our way

Arsenal have been good since the start of last season. In a combined Chelsea-Arsenal team, I'd rate James over their RB and that's about it right now.

Yes, we are not a top team

Makes perfect sense to sell if there is such a high bid

Gilmour having a great game on the ball

Not very worried about the Defense. Both West Ham and today did not show up systemic defensive issues. It showed our lack of an attacking plan

Happy to meet before a game if we end up going for the same one

Regardless of the result, I have to agree. Gave Forest nothing to think about today. What a waste of the first 60 mins

Conceding even with this conservative set up 👏🏽

Needs to be taken off today for an attacking player.

Gallagher…

Forest played the exact same way last week at Old Trafford We look short of at least one attacker here and we have Ben out of position again

Ah that’s good Poch must juggle three LBs till January. Maybe Maatsen can be placeholder for Nkunku till he’s back

Might be in London in the same period. Any answers would be appreciated. Any chance of getting a ticket for the Chelsea Brentford game (Oct 28)? Are sites like livefootballtickets the only way?

Humphreys loan looks a good level for him. He can challenge Badiashile/Colwill or grow in value and be sold for Guehi/Tomori money in future.

Bad situation having Maatsen on a contract that's less than a year. Could lose him for free

Its only Chalobah Humphreys and Sarr who are extras. None seem to be the kind of characters to kick up a fuss. Chalobah to Bayern is still on so hopefully he goes. And Sarr is talking to Fulham, Forest.

They were also offering a 2m loan fee when Chelsea was looking for 5-8m. And I think board is contemplating selling Maatsen in any case if he doesn't sign a new deal

Cucurella may not be moving after all. Played yesterday and there is a chance of Maatsen being sold if he doesn't sign a new deal before the deadline

Deadline is 11 pm on Sep 1 will be Sep 2 morning for you (and me)
