Chelsea 1-1 Fulham

[Amblève. 4,995]

You have to ask what exactly did he do to be treated like this? If JT is injured against Fulham and we have to play Kalou at CB I will be blaming AVB for his poor planning.

He handed in his transfer request, and if the coach thinks that Alex is not a squad member anymore, then AVB is right not to consider playing Alex. And I don't think that Kalou's gonna play at CB...

You never know, kalou is a versatile player

Chalobah was training with first team.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Chalobah was training with first team.

Would be a major confidence boost if he would be sitting on the bench the next game.

Chalobah was training with first team.

would he dare...?

[Hd123 5]

We would be safer off pulling Cole to CB and Bertrand at RB as the latter is much better option.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Gana be weird listening to this on the radio round the nans/watching the teletext..considering everyone there is a Chelsea supporter..could be a bad mood boxing day if we loose!

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

No he isn't, he's indestructible.

Made my day

[Kieran. 6,317]

What happened to DL?

[Tomo 21,681]

Don't see why Alex could not play, VIlla played Milner when he wanted to go City, if we pay them we might aswell play them.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Didn't AVB say Luiz should be fit for this game?

[Liquidator 5,176]

If Luiz isn't fit then we must play Romeu at centre-back. I think he played there against Genk at home and for a bit against Fulham in the Carling Cup and looked very convincing. Playing Bosingwa there again could be a disaster

he said that.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Playing Chalobah would be the best option in my opinion. We need Romeu in the middle and I wouldn't risk Bos in there again.

[Liquidator 5,176]

As much as i appreciate that Chalobah will be a terrific player for us in the future, he really is not ready IMO. Only his physique is holding him back and as a centre back it is imperative that you are strong. Any other position would probably be OK for a small 17 year old to play in but centre back is very important in stopping goals being scored and I fear that he is not ready for Premier League action yet.

No, no, no. Chalobah is not ready. We have better options.

Ferreira, Cole, Romeu or Bosingwa at CB are all better shouts.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I think he is. Either case, there's only one way to find out. :eyebrows:

[Kostas 1,468]

I'd rather have Drogba at central defense than Cole or Bosingwa.
