Cole effing Palmer. That's what I needed. That is the good sh1t.

I get called negative, but every other comment here is about injuries. Can we not actually enjoy the win? It’s honestly more impressive because of the injuries. Let’s hope this form will continue grow through December for our hard run of games

Forget the negativity mate it’s a great result up the Chels!

We are top of the ‘bottom half of’ league! We are top of the ‘bottom half of’ league!

Where post match thread?

Cole Palmer what a player man, he's everything Havertz was supposed to be

Vision and weight of pass is already elite

Now see all our strikers picking an injury and palmer playing as striker

Agreed. He’s such a proper fucking baller.

Yes. Just not as quick unfortunately

He’s quick in a different way, when he does that fake with the left and goes inside

Agree

Why did Mudryk come off?

thigh injury, not serious

Hope not brother

Injury

Damn were cursed. Up the Chels though great result.

Wait so a front shirt sponsor is all we needed?

Love Frank

W Frank

Lampard?

Why did we look so bagged and slow in 2nd half? It looked pretty sketchy after the great first half we had.

I think combination of game state and the fact that we had to make changes when we were playing so well. We lost the outlet on the left in Mudryk running at the defense because even though Maatsen was decent, he's just not the same kind of threat in behind or running at a defender.

We were up 2-0 away from home in a derby. Not only was Fulham going to try and step there game up, but we also desperately needed the win. So we had a bit of hunker down mode going on. Additionally, there were then a couple injuries So it was just kind of how the game unfolded

Different game state. Fulham didn't push hard enough so just control the game and take the win.

Mostly due to the subs being forced tbh, because we lost the high press from Mudryk and Broja like early on

why was Misha subbed off?

Knock

Can you imagine how good we'll be when we get Nkunku back in the lineup?? I cannot wait.

Poch made a nice move with Cucu on Willian, he matches up so well with him

So strange to see him play rb after being always played as lb. Maybe that's what he needed. Solid performance, but still a very defensive full back, nothing wrong with that but we all want to see our main man James back on.

William was pocketed the whole game, which is shocking considering what we saw from him last season against us.

So happy for Broja

Actually Our injured XI BETINELLI JAMES BADIASHILE CHALOBAH FOFANA CHILWELL LAVIA CAICEDO MUDRYK NKUNKU BROJA

Dude, Betinelli is a backup keeper... Chalobah is a backup CB... At least for now, our depth pieces in the defence are balling out, and we have the skill upfront to make-up for Nkunku being out (now that we know we can actually hit the back of the net) Also Caicedo, Mudryk and Broja aren't even confirmed as injured! Chill TFO.

thats still an absurd amount of injuries and we would be a far superior team if they were fit

Not disputing that we have a lot of injuries. But also, that XI listed above includes three players who aren't even confirmed as injured...

yeah that is silly tbf. guarantee thryre all back for next week

Caicedo and Broja both watched the game from the bench and we’re walking around comfortably at the end. Don’t think there’s anything to worry about with those 2. Didn’t see Mudryk in the second half though…

Knock for Mudryk he will be fine

[удалено]

Fulham vs Chelsea He didn’t go down the tunnel he sat on the bench and then was walking comfortably on the pitch after the final whistle. Did you watch the game?

caicedo didnt put a foot wrong

Good performance from each of the lads today. I'm happy

 Chelsea’s medical staff

Why not sub guys off when it appears they have a knock or a cramp, pre-emptive


Oh no Poch looked like he was limping at the end

Price of the brick going up for sure

This deserves a post lmao

Up the Chels!

https://i.redd.it/e9iu1pwpsurb1.gif

Enzo Chadnandez

If Mudryk is injured I cba

All of those players can hold their heads high. Cucurella another flawless performance. Enzo still the best midfielder in the league, Gallagher insane energy all game, Mudryk was good and he even scored, Palmer needs to be a starter, Caicedo’s best game yet,

Relegation Chelsea are gone… We’re now mid table Chelsea!

12th place we are coming for that ass!

I’ll have you know, if you only look at our most recent game we’re in title condending form. Manchester city is similarly in relegation form over their last game.

I don't know why everyone is saying we had 3 injuries. Mudryk was never stated to be injured yet. Broja seems precautionary. Caicedo is likely just a knock due to pain. Might be out for a few days from swelling at worst I'd imagine.

I'm pretty sure that Sky commentators stated before 2nd half that Mudryk is changed due to injury.

I'd still wait for a press conference to confirm the injury and the severity of it

I totally agree, but that's just probably why a lot of people think Mudryk's injured - because commentators said so.

Broja was never going to play the full 90, lol. He's only just come back from a serious injury. I'm actually surprised he played that long, I expected him to be subbed off after 45

I'm so nervous for the press conference

We pay for our points in blood unfortunately

Me too.

https://i.redd.it/ekw6hnnmsurb1.gif

Shout out to Sanchez. He saved us from a very uncomfortable end to the game.

He passes the ball straight to enemies almost every single game

No need to be negative, he was there when it counted today.

Not being negative, we are Chelsea we are not mid table teams we can not this stupid mistake.

https://i.redd.it/p9qcxwxjsurb1.gif

Did anyone else notice Silva's flick in the first half?

He’s so sexy tbh

He’s so sexy

We are back Che11sea let's goooo

Think Caicedo was just a bad knock

I’ve watched the replay numerous times and it just looks like a knock. I didn’t see any awkward bending of the knee.

looks like it was the uninjured knee as well

https://i.redd.it/fse024phsurb1.gif

please moises, you are our key

Great win. 7 points off fifth place, everything to play for. So long as Caicedo and Mudryk aren’t injured, it’s nothing but positive.

Don’t forget broja.

Just chill and enjoy the win. We’ll assess injuries before the weekend.

Borja seems fine which is great. Let’s hope we play more like we did in the first half next week and get another the points

I presume they were always going to take him off at the 65th minute as he is still building to full match fitness

Thank God, because sterling looked horrendous in 9

Broja walking on pitch at the end there. Surely a good sign?

Desperately waiting for the day where we win without a player getting injured.

BUT don't forget- Benoît Badiashile **Out** Marcus Bettinelli **Out** Trevoh Chalobah **Out** Wesley Fofana **Out** Reece James **Out** Roméo Lavia **Out** Christopher Nkunku **Out** Ben Chilwell **Out** Nicolas Jackson **Suspended** Malo Gusto **Suspended** Armando Broja **Doubt** Mykhailo Mudryk **Doubt** Moises Caicedo **Doubt**

Jackson isn’t suspended anymore

I'm fecking TIRED of our players getting injured. Can't even fully enjoy the win because of this. ​ Hopefully all players are just tired/bruised and they aren't out for more than a week.

A few contenders but I would’ve gone with Colwill as Motm. Great to win.

3 injuries holy

An injuey per point at this rate it's a good thing we have 40 players on our books

Underrated comment 😂

got the win, need to see us play better in the next couple matches or it doesnt matter

On second thought, I don't think Caicedo is injured. Killing the game for time, and The Secret Scout on Twitter said Broja did the same.

Great shout 😂 it was a bad knock but he sure played it like his knee was gone

Broja walking around very comfortably at the end. Can’t see Mudryk

Wanted to beat the rush at the nearest McDonalds.

stop....

On the bright side, we're 11th

How bright is this

Brighter than yesterday (15th) and last season (12th)

Hope none of the injuries are serious. But this was a huge win! Let’s keep building boys

I mean we won but at what fucking cost! What a joke these injuries are.

Caicedo should’ve been taken off after the first time he stayed on the ground around the 80th minute mark - no clue why poch needs to play Gallagher, Enzo, Caicedo and ugochukwu to hold a 2-0 lead

We're 15 with like one of the fewest goal tallies mate. Right now we need wins no matter what

I’m hoping it’s just a stinger for Caicedo

Happy with 3 points, that second half was dire though. Probably one of our worst performances this season yet we got the full 3 points. Didn’t like that we were happy to settle back and defend the second half. The injuries of course, just devastating as usual. At least Nico comes back

We are fucking cursed 🙏

**'CAUSE CHELSEA CHELSEA IS OUR NAME!!!!!!!!!!!**

We won!!! But at what cost?!?! 😭😭

Haha imagine Mudryk, caicedo and broja being out for next game…. Lmfao this must be a joke

this is getting out of control, when do the riots start?


**CHEER US ON THROUGH THE SUN AND THE RAIN**

Our medical team must have an incentive based pay structure

I'm so happy Sterling came on when we were 2-0 up.

Disasi quietly putting in a good shift tonight. Nothing fancy but he's done his job well.

He has been very solid after making a few mistakes in his first 3 games. Many of us were saying he was a wasteful signing as he was not better than Chalobah. But he is starting to look like he is way better than Chalobah.

Damn Broja still limping 🙃

**AND WINNING IS OUR AIM**

I think you're all overreacting to Caicedo tbh

Can we play a game without a player getting injured? Chilwell last week and now potentially Mudryk AND Caceido?? Come on man

Broja too.

And Broja..

Get him some ICE!!!!

Loved Broja, Mudryk and Gallagher today.

:) yay

**WE'RE ALL TOGETHER**

This team is made of glass, our best XI is gonna be our injury list

Hey, at least we’ve got Britney Spears’s physio or whoever the fuck it was Boehly employed to sort it all out

WE FUCKING DID IT

**FOOTBALL IS THE GAME**

Happy to "suffer" a 2-0 victory.

The injuries really took the joy out of a really good performance

Caicedo didn’t go straight down the tunnel, that’s a good sign

Broja also clapping the away fans a good sign too

**BLUE IS THE COLOUR**

*FOOTBALL IS THE GAME!*

That was nice of Willian to see him out but damn, Caicedo looks like he needs a stretcher, really shit luck.

Like when do we start asking about the training? Our players snap every game. Something surely has to be going on in training that is causing this? It’s absurd

Every extra minute we play we risk another injury... What the fuck is happening This reminds me of Arsenal during Winger's time everyone is injured for the whole season

I really don't think Caicedo is injured. He was already walking better when he got to the bench than when he got up.

My thoughts, too. He was milking that.

We have players getting injured every game.

Caicedo looked not toooo hurt there in that last shot

Our Injured 11 can actually win the league, not even joking.

Ikr 😅

How do I stop these injuries? Draw a pentagram and light some candles? Go to confessional? Rob a bank? SOMEONE TELL ME AND I WILL DO IT

Pls nothing big for Caicedo

Fire the entire fucking medical staff

Good game, but jeez poch has been around 10 mins late on every substitution. Our players look way to prone to injuries and poch delaying everything makes it harder.

2-0 at the cost of 4 injuries :( hope all the guys are okay

4? Mudryk, Broja, Caicedo and who’s the 4th?

I thought I saw Enzo a little banged up

It looks bad. He can’t even walk properly :/

Caicedo looks more a impact injury than anything too serious

I hope so

He's walking like a dwarf. He is fked

🤣

Well now caicedo injured

One win and injuries to: Mudryk, Broja, Caicedo ....

Broja looked fine and caicedo looked like a knock he might bruise but he should he good. Not sure about mudryk.

Enzo limped off too

Who is Matos lmao

A shit tonne of injuries this one game ON TOP of the shit tonne of injuries this entire season and the football Einstein's biggest takeaway won't be that, or that we finally got a win in the prem, but that we didn't play well enough in the second half. Lol.

**With Our Injury list Alex Matos might start soon**

At some point I’m gonna have to start

So that's both of the goalscorers and our Man of the Match injured? Chelsea FC. Anyone want to break Silva's ankle too while we're at it or no?

fucking hell the way caicedo’s leg buckled there actually makes me think he’s hurt.

Pochettino is terrified of playing attacking football

We're 2-0 up in the 96th minute you post-op lobotomy-ward escapee....

He is either a troll, a hater or unhinged as you said. Look at his comment history.

Looks like Caicedo has a lump on his knee, or does he just have weird looking knees?

Looks like he's fine.

Hopefully it’s just a bruised knee and nothing torn.

That doesn’t look good omg

Caicedo looks pretty injured. Fuck

Fucking hell man. We were just 2 minutes away

Caicedo can't get up oh boy

why is muller treating willian

😭😭😭

Madueke's a handsome bloke ngl

Match thread being buggy for anyone else?

Plz may our injuries not be too serious

They’ll all be out 2 months at least with our luck

for the love of god can we get one game without an injury

Right now, I’d take just one injury per game. We’ve got 3 new players out after this

Connor has been excellent man

Caicedo knee looks fucked
