    Fully agree with that and I think it's probably for his own good at this point...make him fight for a starting spot again and maybe this could spark what we saw last year.

    I think it was his hand. On that cross to CP in which he stretched to toe poke it on goal (but right at the keeper), he hurt his hand. I think a Luton defender stepped on it. He’s fine physically. But his body language seems to show he’s frustrated at his lack of production. A game or two on the bench may help.

    Geez, people dying he’s not a good player anymore? He’s out of form, this happens to even the best players. You lot are comical.

    Crosses like that are what make a difference between CP and other Chelsea attacking mids IMO.

    Maybe he’s just trying to get Lamp an early retirement

    If so, it worked, and a new era begins ...

    Chelsea (10th!) host Wolves (14th) today at 1:00 PM eastern, though we're still not certain if Pulisic is able to play. He was in training yesterday, but we've learned not to place too much stock in that.

    CP on the bench. Not starting due to minor injury? Or due to his recent dip in form? Regardless, I hope he gets some minutes today and shines.

    Interesting shot of Pulisic and Tuchel chatting as the starters come onto the pitch and the subs coming off at the end of half time. Chris was having a laugh with Tuchel, couldn’t see Tuchel’s face.

    Chelsea's attack still looks like garbage in this 5-2-3ish setup, so that's nice to see.

    I haven't put it on yet - they're in a 5-2-3? Personnel looked like a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 when I saw the team sheet? Is Jorginho playing stupidly deep or something?

    What was that, like 500 touches of possession ending with an anemic Chillwell 'cross' into a group of 6 Wolves players?

    Edit: And then that... errr, 'shot'.

    Oh my god, turned it on just in time to see Jorginho yell at someone else for an overly conservative pass. Mind blown.

    i think the biggest issue with this chelsea attack is that you cant attack fast down the right or the left because azpi and chilwell both are incapable of doing it

    Objectively though, CHO is playing well.
    That said, you have to think Puli could tear through these Wolves defenders as a sub right now.

    Both coaches: it's the 70th minute. Play a sub. I suggest #10 and #54.

    cho has had bright moments that didnt result in anything and tried some stuff that didnt come off and has come in and out of the game. its basically the same issues pulisic has had this season, but since cho is in form against minnows he gets a few of these i guess

    Havertz just committed a yellow card worthy tackle of Kovacic.

    oh yes... replacing Chillwell! So he will continue not to get passes from him ;-)

    Pulisic and Abraham on for Giroud ... and Chilwell? Pulisic for left back! Exactly what we need!
