It's even more sad when you think there is CL this season and have to compete with this "depth" of the squad.

Yes Liverpool draws. Now lets get 3.

Morata not starting is the exact reason why you should spend less time fraffing about like our board has done all summer and get your transfers in early so the manager/coach has enough time to implement his ideas.

A £58m record signing should be starting on the first day of the season.

And the state of that bench is a disgrace. The club should be ashamed of themselves for allowing the squad to end up as it is.

A lot supporters cried about we don't give chelsea youngsters a chance the bench full of them and still fans find something to moan about

Enthralling battle at Vicarage Road. Both sides need new centre backs.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Don't see anything wrong with Batman starting. Morata will take his time.

[Milan 17,955]

Considering our squad, we are in the top 4 race this year so it is good to start with 2 points more than Liverpool. Come on!

Giving them a chance from a position of strength is great. Giving them a chance out of desperation like this is worrying.

LMAO

Lol @ that bench.

They actually don't have players. But at least we have 40 loanees.

I know is far from ideal, but with all the injuries and Moses suspended, which means almost half the team is off, we still got a decent lineup. The bench isn't good, but you cannot expect to lose four players in midfield and not only start with a decent team, but also have a decent bench too. Think that with the four players back, the starters would be in the bench and the bench nowhere else.
We have okay cover for keeper and I'm led to believe CB too, as many of you are against VVD coming because Christensen is capable. We have Morata in the bench, so the attack is covered. Is the midfield that looks bad with our main attacking mids off, as well as one WB and cm.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Awful Bench.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Like someone said on BBC maybe he's trying to reinforce his point...

Likewise during Ancelotti's the second season in 2010 (i.e. with Kakuta, van Aanholt, Bruma and McEachran), this is not giving them a chance — this is throwing them under the bus. They will be the first victims of the bad management of the squad from the Board.
