That Chelsea side is ridiculous

That Chelsea side is ridiculous

 

Chelsea decided going out of the EFL Trophy was the final straw and now resorted to throwing the big-guns at the U23 league

What's our lineup for this? Any news on Hesketh?

[Kingsland Red]

Great experience for the lads, Terry, Fabregas, Zouma, Batshuayi and Van Ginkel, that's half a team packed with international experience.

Fabrigas has been a nuisance in the second half.

Hopefully Chelsea will get docked points for fielding so many old farts.

Hopefully Chelsea will get docked points for fielding so many old farts.

 

 

Each team can field a goalkeeper over the age limit and up to three ‘over-age’ outfield players in every match

 

So I guess Terry, Fabregas and Van Ginkel + GK were the old farts, that rules they can easily put out 5/6 potential first team players with Zouma and Batshuayi being classed as under 23

 

That game should have done our youngster's a load of good!

[Shance]

I'm not really too disheartened by losing this. That Chelsea side is laughable. Good experience for our boys though.

The boys can be proud of their performance after playing a team like that !

I can see a lot of good experience for the younger players in general if they get to play with or against top pro's regularly. Which ever team they are playing for. Could help the national game in the long run.
