Sarii should have fielded some young players whom Chlsea loan out every season.

Flat game. We won 3-0 but reality is considering the level the other team were playing at, we could have been up by 8 goals. More upset about the fact that the youth players got next to no minutes to showcase their abilities. James barely got time to fit into the game and same for Chalobah. Connor came into the game later on well but it took an injury to play him. The way it looks, if Sarri stays, we most likely will NOT see youth playing. That's sad cos imagine a season of Willian, Pedro and Higuain as our front 3 with Azpi and Alonso as our fullbacks.... James, Chalobah and Gallaghar should have had half a game at least. Also RLC and Hazard should have been left out of the squad. I knew playing Loftus is a bad idea, now he could be out and a midfield with Kova or Barkley over RLC or maybe both if Kante doesn't recover. Arsenal would eat us alive... we struggled to finish off a side that's championship level if not lower tonight, any other top 6 team would have scored at least 5 goals... usually would be pleased with a win but this was flat out disappointing. Also its RLC that got injured, not CHO who is already injured...

Jorginho played full 90 minute even in a friendly.Was hoping to see Ampadu for a change.What is Sarris obsession with him i dont know.He is not even a proper regista.Just plays nice passes thats it
