Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea (PL) Saturday 7th February 15:00 GMT

I only saw the last 15 mins, couldn't draw many conclusions from what I saw, but I am recovering from major brain surgery... I think it's fair to say Cole Palmer was the main man on an underwhelming day?
Wolves defenders were the main men today, they expertly made tackles on our players that gave us 2 free hits.

 
If Liverpool and city draw tomorrow we are 3 clear of Liverpool, Villa dropped points today we are only 5pts of 2nd and 4pts off 3rd it’s not really a fight for 4th anymore it’s far more open.

Was hoping spuds could at least hold Utd to a draw today UTD have easy fixtures coming up.

 
Picked a strong team to get a lead and secure the win, and then rested some key men by bringing on the second string.

Can't really complain about too much today ...

Thought Joao Pedro was excellent again. Trev and Wes decent at the back too ... hope Andrey is OK !

The absolute state of match threads on here 😅
It reminds me of a phrase I heard recently: ‘nobody hates their country more than a right wing patriot’. Nobody hates Chelsea more than a Shed Ender.

Yeah... and what if they hadn't ?

We could be sitting here with 0 points

 
So the new messiah has beaten the teams he should beat and lost to the best team in the league twice, he should win the next 2 then the real test begins, ARSENAL, VILLA, NEWCASTLE and EVERTON

 
Was it the rain that dampened the second half? lol

As soon as Garnacho came on you knew the rest of the game was going to be super dull. One trick pony - or rather a one trick donkey. Still 3 useful points. Some goal difference. A win is a win.
He was atrocious. Waste of space, waste of a sub, how is he playing for Chelsea football club, or any club, or even being given a ‘professional’ visa in the UK for that matter I don’t know.

 
Horrible. Pathetic. A crime against entertainment. No way would I ever pay to watch this sort of dross.

No way this team makes the Champions League. Not a prayer. It is between us, Man Utd and Liverpool chasing two spots. Both of those sides are way beyond us in standard.

Garnacho is absolutely terrible isn’t he.. gives the ball away constantly can’t beat a man. Woeful.
Never wanted him, don't rate him, can't wait until he's gone. Doesn't belong here, he's not a Chelsea player, he should be playing for Leeds

 
Good first half, helped by stupid decision making and a lack of intensity by Wolves players

Caceido and Santos controlled the midfield

Palmer first player to score a hat trick three times in the first half in the PL

Second half a bit sloppy in possession and decision making

On to dirty Leeds

 
Or maybe cause ultimately all that matters are results and he is delivering?
So did Maresca, top 4, Conference League and CWC. That didn’t change my mind that he was not that good. The same goes with LR.

I feel sorry for Joao Pedro at times. I see him trying to play with intensity, but the rest of his teammates don't seem to match it. I saw him pick up the ball in our own half then drive forward, but nobody was busting a gut to support him. I think our football would be a lot more tolerable if there was a bit more intensity to it. But we've been saying this for years now and there is no sign of it changing.

I don't just watch football for the results, if that was the case, I may as well do something else and check the scores at full time. I want to enjoy the journey, not sit in boredom for 90 minutes.

 
Game won in the 1st half thankfully.

Not a great 2nd half but a welcome 3 points.

Palmer and Estevao will be fresh for Tuesday so that’s a positive as well.

Squad players are a real worry though, needs some good trading in the summer lol.

Onto the next one, I’m happy with Chelsea winning.

 
So did Maresca, top 4, Conference League and CWC. That didn’t change my mind that he was not that good. The same goes with LR.
If he delivered consistently over the season I wouldn't have minded even if I hated his football. So far so good for LR so there's no reason for me to be upset.

 
Ifs and buts, moot point to say that Maresca wouldn’t win this game. But, if this sh*t game was served by him, we’d be all over him. I don’t know why LR gets so much of a pass, maybe because he’s English?
This sh*t performance was served up by him. Week after week after week. This bloke is starting down the same road as many people said he would. The only saving grace so far is that he isn't playing Sanchez in the pivot (yet) and killing the remainder of the season.

Arsenal and City are nailed on, United only have PL games so I would say they will get top 4, Villa, Liverpool and us are playing for 2 places, Newcastle are surely too far behind

Can you tell me what the trick is please?
