Well Vivek it’s about time you got your debut and a well balanced thought out article it is too.
It’s been a while since the Chelsea team has picked itself and fans haven’t rushed to Twitter to complain about why has he been picked but it looks like we are getting there.
Finally I hope Gallagher stays he brings an energy to the team that’s hard to replace and completely win me over. Looking forward to more Vivek write ups.
That would be the lineup that I would start too. Not a huge fan of the chilly at LW system but hopefully when Palmer is up to speed we can go back to a more traditional 4231. Great first article Vivek!
Yeah I just wonder why Poch tried it so much in preseason with a pairing of silva and colwill if he wasn’t going to attempt it in the prem? I get the Nkunku injury kind of forced him into it maybe. I have seen debates online about Poch’s back lines always having pace to play higher up the pitch but like you said, I can’t imagine a defence without Silva in there yet.
Yeah I agree, just think Mudryk and Madueke, who need game time to develop, are lacking opportunities with us playing this way. Im all for innovation and the chilly at LW does have its advantages of course but I like to see players playing in their positions.
An excellent preview Vivek!! Love to read your opinions and this piece proves the quality enhancement your contributions will bring to the community 🤞👌💙
Wonder if we can get Palmer in for a 20 minute spell (replacing Chilly). If we control the game as you think, It would also provide an opportunity for 15 min of Mudryk too - perhaps replacing Noni when he runs out of gas (seems to do that quite often).
Excellent preview Vivek and I agree 100% the team you have picked!
I like the fact that Poch is obviously trying to build a chemistry between players by picking a settled team - obviously something made easier by a reduction in the squad size.
This aged like milk.
I had £10 on Forest to win at 9/1.
Hi Vivek,
A well written balanced article.🙂
I wish I shared your enthusiasm on the result.
Having been at 3 of the 4 games, I still feel we still look toothless going forward.
Luton was a much needed get out of jail card last week.
Forest are a big , strong fast & physical team.
I certainly don't see us scoring three goals against them.
We are also still quite brittle at the back and I fear we will concede.
I'm going for a score draw 1-1.
Let's hope you are right!
Good job Vivek. Nicely written, thorough & concise.
Welcome and good luck
Cheers, Vivek!

Excellent preview!
Well done Vivek, a great article and no typos !! Agree with your team and look forward to more articles. Look out CFCCentral !!

What quality?
The qaulity to stand around with the ball for seconds every time he has it, slowing play to a snail's pace?
The quality to make us play Colwill at left back and Chilwell at left wing?
The quality to make us have to play deeper as he can't play in a high line?
He is the single biggest issue in this team by a country mile. He should be nowhere near the team.

Congrats Vivek! Happy to have you here on the team!

Great first article too - Simon's building a very good team. The site can only go upwards.
