Chelsea (A) - Match Thread

[jim5000]

Luke Thomas flying down the left wing!

 

A back three of Coady, Faes, and Kristensen!

 

A front two with Daka starting next to the GOAT

 

and best of all, Ricardo back in the squad 

[Ricey]

Trying something different, but looks like either Thomas or Kristiansen at left centre back (isn’t that why we signed Oklki?) and we still aren’t solving a couple of our major defensive problems (Faes and Soumare).

Vesty and his dog dropped or injured?

They’re at Crufts this weekend

I'm glad we've made changes, but that has to be one of the most random teams I've seen in a very long time

Ruud playing 4D chess. Kristensen to push up into the false 8 position completely flummoxing tactical genius Enzo!

Playing the formation that would allow us to use both El Khannous and Buonanotte and still find a way to avoid it, two dm's with a back five as well.🤦‍♂️

This. Ridiculous.

[UniFox21]

Would've preferred Daka up top and then Buonanotte and Bhilal supporting. 

[Haywood_6]

Positives 

- Ayew or Reid not starting

- Trying a new formation 

- Ricardo on the bench

 

Negatives 

- Soumare starting again 

- Evans or Monga not on the bench 

- Justin over Coulibaly

It's different, but we all know it'll be the same outcome. 

 

So meh. See you after the game

You can expect players we sign to actually get picked! That’s just not fair on the board 

[Libertine]

Is it 4-4-2 with Thomas LW?

[jim5000]

I’m going to try and pickup a mini tub of Pringles on the way to the ground

No Monga in squad

He’s been playing with England, and is 15…..

[RowlattsFox]

Desperation move but at least he's tried something. At least we can try put Chelsea playing out under pressure. 

[st albans fox]

Pulled the formation and players out of a hat 

[Parker Pen]

I’m glad he’s gone 532 and completely dropped Vestergaard but would rather see Okoli that one if the left backs. Wish Soumare wasn’t in the squad either!

[ACF]

RICARDOOOOOO

[funkyrobot]

Managed to make a team that can’t create even less creative. How he still can’t find a way to fit Mavididi and Buonanotte into his side is really quite remarkable. This set up is entirely reliant on El Khanouss as the one creative player in the team and based on his performance against WHAM, he’s now playing with minimal confidence too!

Bingo caller at Seagrave innit? 

[adejo92]

Nothing like making a few changes once the survival ship has sailed.

[SuperMike]

Sticking with Soumare .....

 

.....WOW!

Yep

3-5-2

another 0-4

 

 

[winteriscoming]

At least he’s changed it. Shame it’s too late.

'At least he's trying!'

Some of us were calling for a formation change with 2 upfront since September. I'm more into 3-4-1-2 or 4 at the back on a diamond midfield with Ndidi as DMF. RVN is changing now the formation but again this selection looks very unstable on paper. 

[Guest Lako42]

**** me that's horrific 

[foxes_rule1978]

Looking at the next six games I’m struggling to see how we score let alone actually get some points. What a disaster of a season. Certainly the worst top flight team I have seen, and that includes that Peter Taylor side with Junior Lewis
