Team for tonight and match day thread - Chelsea v Fulham Preseason

[The Law]

Gentlemen! I've decided to stop being a stalker and actually post a bit. Mainly because I just need to talk about how bad Vinicius is with somebody who cares and you guys are cheaper than a therapist!

Good headed tbf
0-1

Shocking defending, no one even challenged. De Fourgolles is ok small for CB

Been slightly poorer of the 2 teams in the first 25 but not much in it.

Not creating much and our defence unsuprisingly feels vulnerable even against a second string Chelsea front 3

[Chi_FFC]

Pereira is back on the bench.

Raul, Bassey, Mbabu, Pereira, BDR and Rodak on bench. Better than vs the villa where we had one or two options.

Periera isn't on the bench.

Yes, he is.

Andreas Pereira is also named on the bench. Would be a boost for #FFC to have him back, esp before new season. https://t.co/QMLqY7XE0e

Diop challenged, but very good corner and header. Disagree that it was shocking defending.

If you class a challenge as jumping to the side and after the Chelsea guy has headed then yes, did he challenge him? No

[Blawarmy]

Sky talking of this as a chance to win silverware is a bit embarrassing really.

They love the blue lot on Sky

Tosin not even on the bench. Bassey is though so perhaps he's had his clearance through already? I imagine Tosin will be off then. He's hardly played in preseason and is meant to be fit.

▪️ @Antonee_Jedi returns.
▪️ @Raul_Jimenez9 and @CalvinBassey included on the bench.

Weird, wonder when that happened, not on the clubs published list. Possible Peter is mistaken

Great save Leno

He's not really shown anything so far in this game.  Will be interesting to see if Rual comes on.

Diop challenged, but very good corner and header. Disagree that it was shocking defending.

If you class a challenge as jumping to the side and after the Chelsea guy has headed then yes, did he challenge him? No

Sure dude, "shocking defending"... every time we concede we see the same. As if there is only one team playing.

[elgreenio]

erm, recovery runs Lukic for that Chelsea chance? not like Chelsea were 3 on 2 against us or anything.

[jayffc]

Chelsea defending well, very organised were struggling to create anything

Looking forward to Jimi getting a run out to see how he's moving

[KentFulham]

WTF Diop     

[_Putney_]

great tackle then tried to dribble out

[Lazybones]

Poor Leno. Not getting a lot of help from the backs :-(

Yes it was, looks like Diop has followed it up with a stunner 😭

[jayffc]

Yikes we're defending poorly

Bassey on for half time please

[junior white]

Poor fromDiop there

[FFC1987]

Not a comment to derail things, but our squad so sooooooooooooo thin right now!

[Sting of the North]

THAT was shocking from Diop... gifted them a goal. Robinson and Willian has tried to do the same a couple of times. We are really creating our own problems today.
