What Chilwell shouted to Ampadu as Thomas Tuchel watched Chelsea youngsters fall to Fulham loss

It's safe to say when four of Chelsea's first team stars were named in Chelsea's Premier League 2 side to face Fulham at Kingsmeadow, a win was expected. The club's allocation at the stadium was sold out from the earlier announcement that Ethan Ampadu, Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka would be involved as they looked to build match fitness.

That the Cottagers came away 3-0 victors proves that football is often not as simple as that. Strike Luke Harris showed clincial instincts in the Blues box to pounce upon three errors and made Chelsea pay.

In part, the 90 minutes was for the first team quartet to build fitness and three of them completed the full game as Thomas Tuchel watched on from the stands. What will the German coach have learned? It's difficult to tell, Mark Robinson's side were the better side in possession but often lacked fluency, perhaps understandably with new players among the starting XI.

Somewhat ironically, on a night where members of the first team were involved, Chelsea showed a similar trait to the senior side and were unable to fashion high quality opportunities on goal in game where they were generally solid, if not dominant. Check out player ratings below:

Couldn't control the ball when Ben Chilwell fired in an awkward pass across the box in the build up to Luke Harris' second Fulham goal. Saved well in the build up to Harris' third but palmed the ball in the direction of the Cottagers' striker who bundled the ball in. Authoritative when the ball was in the air and did okay in difficult, wet conditions. 6.

Looked assured on the right of Chelsea's back three as he looks to earn some match fitness having not featured in Chelsea's opening games. Perhaps a more dominant outing may
