Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs West Ham United

The transfer window shut a few hours ago and Christian Pulisic is still at Chelsea. He wanted to leave and Newcastle United wanted to sign him up until deadline day. So Thomas Tuchel won’t play him, but at the same time he won’t let him go either.

Wait, it gets even more nonsensical. The rationale for Chelsea not letting him go, according to reports, is that they couldn’t line up a replacement in time. You need a replacement for someone you limit to only cameos? Meanwhile they used deadline day to sign yet another attacker, in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It’s just hypocrisy all around.

What kind of American is Owner Todd Boehly? He’s letting the USMNT Captain rot on the bench in a World Cup year. Thanks for nothing Boehly. As for Tuchel, well, he’ll keep selecting Kai Havertz and Mason Mount over Captain America. This despite the fact that neither has scored a goal or registered an assist this season. Oh and Timo Werner, now back with RB Leipzig, just scored a hat trick.

Tuchel is so clueless when it comes to the attacking third. If he sees out the season, Chelsea will end up out of Europe entirely.
