I love what Conte has done to this squad, brought the happiness back and we are now a real team again.

Thank you! No, I haven't discovered it yet, still finding my way around BigFooty.

No worries mate and welcome aboard. We've got a nice bunch of Chels supporters on here.

Is there space for JT, Batshuayi, Willian and Zouma in the 3-4-3

There is against West Ham. Would play the following line up in the EFL Cup, although not sure Conte will make this many changes. I think Southampton will be a tricky game this weekend:

GK: Begovic
DEF: Ivanovic - Terry - Zouma
MID: Aina - Loftus-Cheek - Fabregas - Da Silva
FWD: Willian - Batshuayi - Oscar

I would say its probably too early for Zouma to return. I'd give him a few more weeks in the development squad to blow out his cobwebs a bit more.
I'd also put Chalobah in there somewhere. Agree with the rest though.

 

[Flameboy]

Yeah Zouma won't be back this early. Needs a good 2-3 weeks in the reserves before he comes back into the squad, possibly even longer

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Yep was thinking a few more games off the bench as well; agree with Hatchy1992 maybe Chalobah instead of Oscar or Willians if they still need some time to mentally get ready for a full game.

 

[Flameboy]

Our fixture list is going to be very thin over the next few weeks

We must perform in the league.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

I had a look at our upcoming fixtures in the Premier League. What did we do to deserve all the Monday morning games?

 

[Loonerty]

Boy, Willian was poor this morning. Second West Ham goal is on him. Let the West Ham player run right by him and win possession after Kante's clearance.

 

[WCEbrody]

Boy, Willian was poor this morning

Yeah, wasn't great from the limited highlights i've seen of the game. You know somethings up when Willian shows a lack of effort or urgency.

I suspect his mind is on other things at the moment though, so i find it hard to be critical of his performance.

[Wally Walpamur]

And Diego doesn't take penalties.

 

[chef]

6th fastest player to 40 goals

 

[chef]

Forgotten man MVG made his come back from injury in the under 23s. Played an hour, same with Zouma.

[Wally Walpamur]

Anyone staying up/waking up for Chelsea vs Everton? They've been our bogey side recently and i'm not too confident. Hoping for a win but I think it may end 2-2

 

[chef]

I might get up early, but its my only sleep in for the week so maybe watching on demand and pretending its live may be the go.

That's what I thought I'd do but I'm hopeless at waiting for the replay without checking the score first.

Yeah, I'll probably check the result as soon as i wake up
