Chelsea’s starting XI for the clash against Wolverhampton sparked widespread discussion among fans, particularly due to injuries and limited squad options. 

Following the match, fan reactions reflected on the team’s performance, selection decisions, and future implications.

One fan, Felix, commented before the game: “Interesting team, but with injuries we didn’t have many options. Reece back starting is always just so nice to see, hopefully it’s the first start of a good run. The main scare is obviously the defence and specifically the back two, but let’s just hope. Chalobah as a LCB will be a test.”

The return of Reece James was indeed a bright spot, but defensive issues persisted throughout the game, highlighting the challenges mentioned.

Another fan, Pys, expressed frustration about the lack of midfield options, noting: “Chelsea have 0 midfielders on the bench. Lavia and Enzo both injured. The KDH start comes out of nowhere and in desperation. It’s not like Chelsea have two quality midfielders on loan… oh wait.” Dewsbury-Hall’s selection, although surprising, became a focal point in the game.

A fan named Vince saw it as an opportunity for the midfielder, stating: “Big game for Dewsbury-Hall. Time to make a statement.” The player’s performance will likely be analyzed in the context of Chelsea’s ongoing midfield crisis.

Questions were also raised about squad rotation, with lbe Onye Abiriba commenting: “Why not rest Palmer for City and play Felix?” The decision to include Palmer in a busy schedule with Manchester City on the horizon remains debatable.

Meanwhile, the absence of Renato Veiga from the squad fueled transfer speculation. Felix remarked: “No Renato Veiga in the squad. Definitely on the move.” This observation added another layer of intrigue to Chelsea’s current squad dynamics.

The game against Wolverhampton may not have resolved all of Chelsea’s issues, but it certainly spotlighted areas requiring urgent attention as the team navigates a challenging period.
