Gomez-Virgil-Quansah-Trent is their only healthy backline

Kind of have to take the point there. Drawing Fulham is not as bad as drawing Everton. Chelsea are coming though

Chelsea have a pretty easy run of fixtures. Won’t be shocked to see them level after the holiday period
It’s gets better for us after Boxing Day. But we are going to need nine from those games.

Only have four healthy defenders

Didn't watch any of it, but surely they got 9mins for actual stoppages during the half right? As opposed to Pickford and his CBs foaming at the mouth while they wasted time against us.
I have no idea, I only switched to it when Arsenal Everton finished

Chelsea haven’t had a good festive season since 2016-17, so I remain in “believe it when I see it” mode

There’s was a lot of weird stuff. Seemed like a lot but wasn’t egregious

I was not shocked by the 9 mins. Very slow game, with a lot of subs + injuries. Nothing scandalous. Actually the most scandalous action is Perreira and Diop escaping a straight red card.

We shall see. New manager might make a difference. Somewhat under the radar
They aren’t under the radar. That narrative sucks. They’ve spent like a billion dollars. They have the biggest squad, they will have the most rested squad because they did not register their best players for conference league. They have more points than Arsenal.

Don’t play dumb like the Chelsea fans are. There is zero reason that they aren’t a legit threat

I’m intrigued tbh

Everybody made fun of them for signing half of the population but that allows Maresca to rotate
With modern football’s crazy schedule and the PL not taking breaks during the holidays, it’s not a bad thing

btw I’m not following Chelsea so I don’t know if he is actually rotating , I’m just speculating

LFC also sold better players, so I don’t think it’s crazy they got more fees?

But again, did Todd fly to Saudi Arabia to meet with the country's sports minister / director of football. If he did I would say that is a friend

Show me John Henry flying to the Middle East to meet with the people responsible for Saudi League’s transfers and watching games in their box, or miss me with the friend stuff
Trudeau flew to Maralago, by default he must be bffs with Trump.
