"Don’t think he could of possibly fielded a worse team than that" - Chelsea fans react as Pochettino names XI to face West Ham in PL fixture
Chelsea fans are not happy with Mauricio Pochettino's starting lineup to face West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday (August 20).
Pochettino's Blues started the new season with a credible 1-1 draw against Liverpool on August 12. New signing Axel Disasi grabbed his first goal to cancel out Luis Diaz's opener at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are on the road this weekend and face their west London rivals West Ham at the London Stadium. Pochettino will be hoping that his side can clinch their first three points of the season.

Malo Gusto comes in for the injured Reece James at right wing-back, while Robert Sanchez continues in goal, with Disasi, Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill in defence.
Ben Chilwell will captain the side at left-wing back while Enzo Fernandez is once again partnered with Conor Gallagher in midfield. New £115 million signing Moises Caicedo settles for a place on the bench.
Raheem Sterling and Carney Chukwuemeka are in advanced roles behind Nicolas Jackson who is up front. The Senegalese frontman will be eager to get his first goal for the club against the Hammers.
Chelsea put in a fine performance against Liverpool last weekend, but some fans are frustrated not to see Pochettino ring the changes. One tweeted:
