Chelsea (A) Match Thread

[Gav_LCFC14]

Comparing that starting XI  to the one that  that won the FA cup really shows how little we've actually improved the squad. Much the other way round, we have regressed.

Can't believe I'm actually gonna watch this 

[WinslowFox]

Where's the ever obliging Leicester City thread gone?

 

We'll need it later when Sterling gets his first Chelsea goal.

Why?

 

I would watch them no matter what division or league they are in.

Amartey and Ward in!

 

I feel much more relaxed now I know they are in the team.

Bit like you are in the dentist chair and resigned to a lot of discomfort and possible pain

We've gone so backwards it's vile.... And quite saddening

Can't even bring myself to find a stream. Chelsea are such repulsive ****ing parasites.

I have to say I am toying with the idea of not watching this. It has the makings of something very very very unpleasant.

 

Prove me wrong you super Foxes.🫰

[Ric Flair]

I actually quite like that midfield given Maddison is out, what else can we do? 

 

Amartey still being picked over Soyuncu is just outrageous though.

He will be in Amartey’s pocket.

I'm not sure how Amartey is getting a game? 

 

Has Soyunchu ran over his dog? 

P*ssed on his kids too i reckon,  the bloke is a total  numbnuts and is very clearly a cuckoo in the nest.

Ffs ditch this idiot now!

[Buzzell]

Strap yourselves in lads, this is going to be a bumpy ride.

[Guest Col city fan]

Vardy is gonna get absolutely no service

I dunno about that one. There is, in theory at least, a few that can both find and support him. I'm trying to be optimistic here (why??) but it's an attacking line up, depending how they play. My concerns are more defensive but at least Ndidi's on the bench.

Huh? Literally what is he meant to do?

Maddison is injured, all of you were slating Brendan for not utilizing Praet and now that he actually does its not right?

All of you were piling onto Wilf for being out of form and needing to be dropped, well here you go.

Brendan could cure cancer and you'd still find something to moan about

I think the unhappiness stems from:

 

The fact that he continues to play Amartey against all the evidence that he is clearly not a PL level centre back, especially in a back 4.

 

The selection of Ward over a promising young keeper, Iversen.

 

The lack of proper support for Vardy up front. 

 

Concerns that Soumaré is being asked to play a role that he is not suited to.

[PhillippaT]

Even though the reverse psychology wasn't working, it's hard to be positive instead...........

 

COYB!!! 

[Countryfox]

Could this be our lucky day and things change for us ..  or ..  are we going to get hammered ..  I’m tossing the coin ..    heads its not the former and tails it’s the latter ..   

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

What's up with madison? He picked up a little niggle that'll keep him out for 6 months?

I’d have put Ndidi in place of Amartey for this one with Maddison injured let’s hope we can get a goal from someone else & Soumare steps up proves he can play for us ?

I still fail to understand what Ward has done wrong this season other than his one mistake against Arsenal (the same game he made a handful of outstanding saves to keep the scoreline somewhat respectable).

It'd be properly daft if we dropped Ward for Iversen off the back of a decent cup performance and then drop Iversen the second Ward does something in the cup. Only mounts unnecessary pressure on both of them

This might suit Dan , they have all the ball and we sit back and block and take one of our two chances. Its the set piece scenario that we can't cope with though.
