So we had a behind closed gates friendly versus Posrtsmouth yesterday, obviously without our international duty players and probably some of the injured left behind, and lost 0-2. Perhaps meabs little but certainly suggests not great strength in squad depth and one suspects that some of the previously injured - like Palestra - may have been involved but who knows.
The predicted (unconfirmed) CFC lineup v Portsmouth yesterday was not a hugely weak one on paper:
Predicted Chelsea XI to face Portsmouth (3-4-3): Sharman-Lowe; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill; Palestra, Caicedo, Henderson, Chavarria; Paez, Welbeck, Emegha.

JBS, thanks for the info mate. Holly Molly that is a poor result.
