Chelsea (H) Match Thread

[JimJams]

TBH their lineup doesn't look all that frightening really.  Need to close out Palmer and limit their ability to feed Madueke.  The rest, including Felix, are far less of a threat.

Hey just close your eyes, and breath in, then breath out..  everything will be good after 

Getting ready to watch your team play shouldn't sound like your about to attend a pool part at Michael Barrymore's house.

Dear o dear. Worse than I feared. Soumare the sloth and mcateer over Mavs. Madness.

Mavadidi has achieved very little this season.

[Devonfox1884]

I don’t think McAteer is in ‘instead’ of Stephy, I think it’s a change of shape with Kasey at RWB and JJ at RCB.

 

Mads

 

JJ

Faes

Okoli

 

McAteer

Soumare

Ndidi

Winks

Kristiansen

 

Bilal

 

Vardy

[JimJams]

This is the game Bilal steps it reet up!

Why? What's he done past few months?

 

I know you don't like him Mark but for better or worse he's the best we've got. 

 

Kasey McAteer shouldn't be anywhere near a Premier League starting lineup. 

 

Pains me to say it but he shouldn't even be ahead of Ayew or probably BDCR. 

 

This team selection is just 100% giving up

 

[adejo92]

Only hope of a goal is Vardy making the most of a Sanchez / defence Enzo tippy tappy cluster.

 

Other than that, this will essentially be a training exercise for Chelsea.

Do please let us know the three players you would use instead...?

Okoli who has been poor passing out from the back of late, Vardy who stands and points and Ndidi who jogs around watching people float by and then in the counter attack has a brain freeze. 

Winks will be frustrated with the playing out if the back of it bypasses him, which has been the case when Okoli was in.  Soumare get in his way and offer no defence until he tackles from behind in the box. 

 

Cant wait

Dear God, that would be even worse. Will Vardy even get a touch in their half?!

 there midfield and forward looks terrifying esp against Justin, Kirstensen, Faes and Soumare.

 

Winks will get bypassed as well

A lot of positivity as usual, but I don't think there are not more than a few spots we disagree about..... but it seems to make the whole match-tread

Bilal is the only outlet on the odd occasion we have the ball. He will be marked out of this game quite easily unfortunately.

My exact thinking also, make it compact & for all the slating what has he really got to work with it’s the best option without Fats or Facs 🤷‍♂️

He has a knack of at least finding himself in goalscoring positions and with the way Enzo plays you never know.

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

So the only bloke who wasn't at fault for a goal last week of the back 4 is the one that is dropped from the squad. Another training ground bust up? 

[Wortho]

It does look very lightweight.

 

 

[moore_94]

First game in a very very long time where I genuinely think there is a very good chance I could leave the game at half time

I do think he had to do something very different given the injuries and suspensions. 

 

But not this. This is just flood the midfield, try and stop Enzoball working as much as possible and hope and pray we're still close to them after 70 minutes. 

[pazzerfox]

That's a championship team. 

[The Guvnor]

When your expectations are low, then the inevitably of losing becomes less emotional.

[Happy Fox]

I hope we boo loud at Cooper absolutely rancid team selection.

[foxes_rule1978]

We are up against the best chelsea team in years, anyway let’s nick a 5 nil loss
