    It seemed clear before the GW Palmer was probably not 100% fit, I think that confirms it.

      2. KAPTAIN KANE!
        • 8 Years
        6 hours, 6 mins ago

        No because Palmer himself looked shocked and shaking his head

    • Hazz

      What an absolute shambles of a first 10 minutes. Thanks very much Sanchez.

      Was slowly getting back in the food graces of fans but he's blown it again.

      New keeper next season please

    • Pariße
      • 10 Years

      Doing punditry for DAZN at the club world cup, Obi Mikel said Sanchez is the biggest liability in Chelsea’s starting eleven. Defensively Maresca is well aware Chelsea are incomplete.

        Spending over a billion in a year and still having holes in your first XI is actually insane

        Palmer cap, own Cucu and Cunha, I don't think it could possibly be going worse

    • Camino Aleatorio

      Bruno is worst thing about EPL. All his goals are seedy and junky. He's a weasel that plays for a weasel team. Shaved Rat.

      Glad College Football starting in a few minutes.

        And here was I thinking it was “fans” like you that were the worst thing…

              College football?

              I would have thought that students are only just waking up now.

            Doubt if Sanchez gets his place back for a while

            1. Tomerick
              • 11 Years
              6 hours, 4 mins ago

              Certainly not next game

          3. Tomerick

            Gotta protect that 1-0 loss

          4. Pariße
            • 10 Years
            6 hours, 4 mins ago

            Actually had an idea to accommodate Palmer in a way to bring in three Chelsea players (JP, Caicedo, Palmer). Luckily saved my transfers in the end, this gameweek was always gonna be chaotic.

                  You don't know that so stop posting nonsense.

                    We don't know, but I am super glad that I did not trade him in this week. Nothing for me to worry about.

                Maresca's team needs to just go home at Halftime. They have no intention of earning their wages today.
