They are our most important players, neither has an adequate replacement, but they both appear jaded of late There is an international break coming up and they can rest up.

coolhandfox Posted 15 March Share Posted 15 March (edited) 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: I keep reading this but is our perceived strongest team actually our best team right now given we've been struggling when they've played and their record against better sides is suspect. Our fringe team perhaps don't have the same issues with form and mentality but it's probably coincidence. I'd go somewhere between the two, there's definite players who need dropping. I could be the sort of game that gets them firing. The main issues for our strongest team are KDH and Mavididi's form, which have been rarely rotated. I think we made a mistake buying a fourth striker rather than a creative player flexible enough to play at 8 or wide. I expect a mix-and-match approach; Jakob, Coady, Doyle, and Wanya are all likely to play. It's a real shame that the likes of Braybrooke and Alves are match fit, as I would throw them in and see how they go.

If he’s fit to play and Enzo feels he’s worthy of selection I don’t see the issue. If he gets an injury in a league game, so be it. But if he was to get injured in a cup game, when he could have been rested is another matter. You can’t remove the risk of injury every game, but for games like this you can, and we should. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand mate but we shouldn’t live in fear of an injury, injuries happen that’s part of life, I am of the belief you play your best players provided they are fit and Enzo sees best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poznan34 Posted 15 March Share Posted 15 March We've had a week since the last match and then it's the international break. Full strength and go for it. This is the worst Chelsea side for 20 years, we can win it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting injured in the line of fire in a league game is an acceptable risk. The FA Cup, not so much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed a versatile attacking midfielder / winger rather than a 4th striker. I'm still very keen to see what Silko Thomas is like, would have been great for him to get a loan move in January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
