I loved how Gilchrist, completely amped up when he came on to make like 1 tackle, proceeded to bark instructions, hug everyone and celebrated every clearance like a championship. Reminds you of that overzealous sales intern who gives a pep talk and insists on high fiving the boss before making coffee for everyone.

Another bad performance.
Crystal Palace very poor, that's why they lost.
Maatsen did n't make it. Kept losing the ball, the equalizer came after one of his errors.
Madueke was good, superb penalty.

Another average display but 3 points was massive.

I'm starting to seriosly worry about Colwill, he looks shaky as fuck

Tbf to him, he's not a left back, he's not really had a chance to shine as an actual CB yet.

I thought Gusto and Gallagher were terrific, there wasn't a blade of grass Conor never covered.

And Jackson I never wan't to see him again in a Chelsea shirt, absolute wanker, even worse than Batshuayi

Play Palmer as a false 9

Play Palmer as a false 9

dunno he's easily outmuscled out of plays while playing in less contested areas of the pitch.

I'd prob go with Nkunku as (false) 9 and keep Palmer where he is.
Then get someone in Jan as an option up front (senior player ready to go).
