Chelsea (A) Match Thread

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Let's hope we can get at least a point.

 

Can't believe the stick Chilwell is getting on here from some. Yes, he had a poor game last week, perhaps his worst for some time.

 

But he is a talented player who is ours and has a great future ahead hopefully with us. Let's give him a break. Would have been good to see have the chance to redeem himself today. 

 

COYF.

I don’t get this formation with Maddison wide, even more so when Fuchs is left back he won’t be pushing forward like Chilwell

Not that it matters but who’s the 4th official then 

Oli Langford, normally refs in the championship.

long 90 i think

To be fair, Fuchs will get forward, at least as much as chilly last game, its whether he can get back in time

That pink shirt really is horrendous...

It looked as if Chillwell had been told to stay back based on our opening game. 

[Babylon]

Least Fuchs can cross, that’s a bonus

[FLAN]

Surely this game demands the work rate of albrighton over Perez who I thought was average last week?

Everything about this statement is correct.

 

Very worried.

[ozvaldo]

On reflection, I think we’ll get dicked today.

Maddison naturally wonders inside and I worry he'll wonder into the Chelsea middle 3.

 

Alternatively, he may find space in and around that backline to exploit.

Graham Scott, the original ref will be 4th official apparently.

To be fair, Chilwell didn't really push forward last weekend. Could be that he was already hampered by that hip injury, who knows.

 

I think today must be a clear Ndidi/Choudhury Day, with both of them to soak up pressure early on.

Yes defensive line up, but Chelsea will not sit back like Wolves did.

They were all pretty shit last week to be fair.

They tried to come at us first half, sat back the second, it was them sitting back in the second that caused us issues.

[Guest Cujek]

Chilly injured then. 

 

No conspiracy here
