Can see the stadium at full time being the emptiest it has been for a long long time

 

Gonna be brutal but luckily for Cooper there will be barely anyone left to boo him

Depends. If we lose 3-0 but actually put up a fight, I think that there won't be many boos. If we lose 3-0 just because Chelsea didn't really try to take it further, then there will be a stadium of boos

[ealingfox]

Agree given the injuries its time to try 3atb, but personally I'd play Ndidi as the 3rd CB

 

Mads

 

Faes/Vestergaard don't care which both doggo

Ndidi

Okoli

 

Justin

Skipp

Winks

Kristiansen

 

El Khannous

Mav

 

Guess it's Edouard if nobody else is fit

Unfortunately I cannot see us putting up much of a fight, and I can definitely see them getting more than 3-0 without even having to try much

[Cropwellfox]

Absolutely nothing to be positive about around this club at the moment, and we’ll still see brainwashed clapping at full time on Saturday. Shameful state our LCFC is in

I know. I live in hope. I can only seeing this being a waste of time heading to the KP. It's the hope that kills you

I wonder what these catastrophic injuries do to his tenure. I fear they'll be resigned to us battling relegation and just keep him. Terrifying prospect.

Chelsea win to nil. 

 

Easy money, surely. 

 

Buonanotte and Fatawu injured. Vardy not fully fit. 

 

Where do our goals come from?

Daka masterclass

This will be the most routine away win possible for Chelsea. Suspect they’ll be 2 up in 30 minutes and will then go into game management mode, with lots of passing around the back and bringing on subs in place of their best players. They’ll probably get a third near the end. With the likely absences, we’ll be lucky to better the 0.02 xG we managed against Arsenal at home at the end of Rodgers’ reign. Seriously considering my sanity in making a 230 mile round trip for this.

Mentioned it before, but I know it won’t happen. Monga and Evans need to be involved. Not starting per se, but after bobby Reid gives it away for the 14th time after 50 mins, what else is there?

I think they'll come in to the reckoning if Ayew is also injured for a long time.

[The Hitman]

With the homework Enzo does on his opposition you can pretty much guarantee they’re going to target our right hand side. 
 

That and also the fact Faes at right centre back can often go steaming out of position like a bull in a china shop. 
 

I’m not the most positive about us at the moment anyway but really feel like this is going to be a mauling live on TV. 
 

 

A ‘look what you could have won’ feeling when Enzo hands our arse to us. 

[Devonfox1884]

Kasey can play wing back, so I reckon we go with the Christmas tree formation of:

 

Hermansen

 

Faes

Vestergaard

Okoli

 

McAteer

Ndidi

Winks

Kristiansen

 

Bilal

Mavididi

 

Vardy

There is no hope so you can survive.

We won’t get any we’re going to get our arses handed on an Italian plate!! 

[Kasey Keller]

They have a ropey keeper in Sanchez and we won’t even test the bloke…

Also why the club wanted to switch to digital STs. Can’t sling your phone towards him 

[87fox]

Press conference at 9:30 this morning should be interesting

[Stuntman_Mike]

What reception we expecting Enzo to get?

 

I still really like the guy and can't blame him for wanting out when you look at the whole picture.

[st albans fox]

Enzo will waste his time on tactics !
