I know it's Chelsea so expected to get on with it because we a decent squad but with 8 players missing through covid and a further 4 missing through injury, not sure how we're expected to put out a team capable of winning PL games.

If that's the threshold then Norwich wouldn't have been allowed to get promoted sure

The team looked good enough to win but wolves are a nightmare to play with there antics not even looking to win just stop you and park the bus a terrible football team and manager
 
We have no strikers. We're just shuffling the players around to see who can fit in where. Chalobah was in midfield today. Hasn't played there all season. Pulisic up front, not exactly his forte. Forced to take Ziyech due to a knock. He is replaced by a barely fit CM.

Honestly mate as soon as a squad has a covid case then for me the game should not go ahead at the moment and you apply that rule for all.

Seeing certain clubs get games called off when they ask and others not doesn’t sit well with me but it’s hardly surprising for the PL.

They're incredibly hard to beat but some of players we're forced to name in the team because there is no one else are carrying injuries themselves. It just feels a bit unfair that Spurs have had 3 games postponed already and we're forced to name a subs bench with 6 players, including 2 keepers.

I agree. I heard something about a rule that says if a team can name 14 players then the game goes ahead. That seems to be rule applied to Chelsea today.

I saw an interview with Tuchel before the match and he was more than a "little angry", with good reason, I think. The four injured players are unfortunate and do not enter into the case for postponement, but I doubt that the clubs whose games were postponed were in a markedly more dire position than Chelsea. As with refereeing a couple of seasons ago the first demand is for consistency and the criteria on which a decision to postpone is reached should be made clear. But at the moment Chelsea seem to have been very hard done by.

Yeah. You could feel his anger in the interview. I was surprised he didn't deck the interviewer.
