I see it as a good thing. Just get him off the team Play James or Caicedo at RB instead of him

Credit to Maresca for the changes but we had no business being so dire against this Forest side in the first half. I am not convinced we have turned a corner until we start to control games with regularity

Caicedo is the team really. And Joao behind a 9 is so much better

Getting a grip of the game finally. Lucky to get away with that first half performance

This seems to be Pedro Neto and not Joao Pedro who's had 2 weeks of rest

Not good enough. Di Matteo out!

Man City and Girona were given clearance to play in CL last season

Only Rodri for City in the treble winning season can come close to the levels Caicedo is performing at. The best midfielder in the world at the moment imo

And made good changes. People were against the Gittens substitution but he ran well at Szoboszlai Been a while since we finished a game strong. Good hits from Gittens, Estevao, Caicedo and a great chance for Enzo before the winner

Ending the game with 11 men after weeks

Get in! I hope Maresca is more proactive in finding solutions from now on.

Typical - Defense goes to sleep

Already 4 CBs out and now Badiashile

I'd wait till tomorrow. Have a feeling we can get at this Liverpool side.

Will help to face 10-man Chelsea in 2 weeks

This list makes me want to continue with Maresca. Xavi would be an awful idea. Marco Silva and Rosenior can't make the step up imo and Glasner plays a counter-attacking 3-man defence at Palace.

Even before the weekend's results, I felt they had the best squad. Physically matching up to and beating Newcastle away is the stuff of dreams here at Chelsea.

The set-up was fine vs Brighton but an individual error after halftime meant we were down to 10 men. Similar brainfade vs United. Not having a fit CB to choose + stuck with a GK who is prone to errors - means that a manager's preparation can be undone in a matter of moments. And that's why it is largely on the board.

Cue the Iraola and Emery links now It doesn't matter who we get in unless we get a grip and sign quality players instead of obsessing over profit margins.

Exactly this - the bigger problem is their own thinking

Incredible we've gone on to lose this after being in no danger for 45 mins

We have benefited big time from VAR calls this season and still going to be mid-table at the end of this game

Iraola incoming
