Its either Mudryk or more of Chilwell being asked to play as a LW. Don't see Maatsen getting much game time as he's probably just waiting for City to put in a bid for him. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a player there. Lets be honest, he should have had two assists on the weekend, if not for our terrible finishing. There is plenty bad bits to his game, but I think they dissipate with more consistent play time. I hope your joking. Painful enough watching him as it is never mind for a prolonged period. He’s had ample chances but cannot seem to do the basics or have a fundamental understanding of the game - if he can’t do them/doesn’t know that now, he never will. @Reddish-Blue Maatsen? City? Eh? I somehow severely doubt that. When have City ever bought Chelsea 3/4th choice players? Considering the success they've had with hybrid fullbacks such as Zinchenk, Ake & now even Gvardiol, I would be incredibly incredibly shocked if there were any truth to those links 😂 I mean one season in the championship and City want him…. sure but lets freak out if he does go because he is that good. Good enough for City but not good enough to displace Chilly? Edited September 21, 2023 by OneMoSalah Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good enough for City but not good enough to displace Chilly? Wouldn't be the worst buy for City, especially if he comes in on a minimal fee (as his contract is set to expire and apparently he is reluctant to sign a new deal at Chelsea). He could ride the bench and be a squad player for them just like Kalvin Phillips and whoever else they have these days. Having seen a bit of him at Burnley, he's got the raw attributes of a player that would do well under Pep's coaching. I'd be surprised if Maatsen is still here after the January window, same probably goes for Chalobah (as the club would look to cash in and get some profit on the board to balance the summer expenditure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were looking at Balde from Barca and also Cucurella if the conditions were favorable. But if they really did want Maatsen, they could have put in a bid. The money was reasonable. Looks like his options will be in the Burnley-West Ham range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez < Martinez Gusto > Cash Disasi/Colwill > Konsa Silva > Torres Chilwell > Digne Caicedo > Kamara Enzo > Luiz Gallagher < McGinn Sterling > Bailey Mudryk < Diaby Jackson < Watkins I have it 7 - 4 Chelsea on paper unless you disagree with any of that.

The problem is they run down the pitch to score goals. We walk the ball down the pitch, stand in a big rectangle, and kick the ball around.

Hard to grasp how abysmal they must be playing to be hanging at 2:2 with Polish team. Our league exist mainly to supply content for out of context football compilations. If they will proceed to plow through us, it means we are done. Edited September 21, 2023 by Vegetable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing 3:2 now. 3 more players from first 11 in early in the second half. I think we may get a point on Sunday 💪 Vesper and Thor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 For the last season or 2, I just dont go into games thinking we should be winning this game comfortably anymore. With all the travel and game Villa have played, I just dont see us taking any advantage of it. This will end a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
