#AfterThought

I saw the rains and had a bad feeling before even the kick off. In the end it mattered.

Soggy pitches and general wetness 💯% do disorient games and tactical plans.

A bad day in office

All he needed in the summer was a class goalkeeper and a center back and he got nothing, I’m sorry but I’m not going to blame him for this.

•Lavia’s absence has massively disrupted Maresca’s system, not gonna lie he’s been a huge miss to the start of the season.

•`Without him, James hasn’t been used as often in his natural role, with Maresca prioritizing physical presence in midfield instead. That’s limited his ability to overlap down the wing,he looked lively today and that's the Reece James we want.

•Caicedo is also paying the price, often left isolated and overworked in midfield. I don't know how we would cope if he gets injured.

•And then there’s our build-up. Without Lavia’s press resistance, we’ve struggled to play out from the back. Sanchez has been forced into more long balls this season, which makes us look far less comfortable in possession.

•We're a Goalkeeper, CB and a Lavia's clone away for this team to stabilize and compete.

Another season of supporting City or Liverpool to win the league over Arsenal because we can’t compete after spending £2bn on players. How can you be spending and getting worse?

Sevilla trolling us on their official page

Alan Shearer: "I'm not sure Chelsea are any better than they were three or four years ago, despite the investment that's been made. There are plenty of questions to be answered."

Those abusing Chalobah amuse me so much. There are players who cost over £60m who are worse than him but he’s the one catching the most heat. Is there more reason to it?

Enzo is probably the player the fanbase is most divided on right now

What are your honest thoughts on Enzo, how best do you think he should be deployed, and should he be a starter?👀

ICE COLD PALMER

🗣Enzo Maresca on Jorgensen:

"Filip is going to help us in the moment. [I told Jorgensen] that he was going to play domestic cup games, he was going to play Premier League games and he was going to play Champions League games. It was a very easy conversation."

Moises Caicedo is the only player to make 20+ tackles in the Premier League this season. 💪

Fofana needs to be really careful. He is too passionate in a wrong match

We just cant afford any more CB injuries

Lovely bit of composure from Bounanotte... he makes the game looks simple at times..

He can be a vital player if Maresca trusts him more in bigger games. Palmer at RW.

We've got our own Pedri as others might say.

Don't get me wrong I think Fofana is terrible too, but his Ig post was about this and not about Jorgensen being poor.

We play Brighton next.

- Palmer is injured.
- Buonanotte is ineligible.
- We can't play Joâo Pedro as 10 because he's the main striker.

What happens if Palmer doesn’t recover?

1. Play Guiu as striker and Pedro as 10.
2. Start Santos as 8 and Enzo as 10.

What's your pick❓️
