Chelsea (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Father Paul]

Just put a fiver on Chelsea to win 4-0 at 100/1 as I cannot see KDB being the required motivator as City skipper. Dinho should have been given the job today.

Can never bring myself to bet against City but that is a good wager. I fear this may be a long afternoon with little joy at the end of it.

This kid on the bench is massive. Anyone know anything about him?

 

[yeseye]

I suppose the only reason they have had to take Mendy is because he can’t be trusted not to embarrass the club if left behind on his own, the big fucking kid!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

No he is not adequate left back. Would take laporte or Ake over him any day

THEY. ARE. NOT. AVAILABLE.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Which is total bollocks.

Hopefully.

 

[TFC]

Big game for several of the boys, time to show you are worth that 1st team spot. Come on City

 

[Cityinmud]

THEY. ARE. NOT. AVAILABLE.

I know that.

 

[cleavers]

eric has had covid already

Doesn't matter, if he's been in contact with someone who tested positive, he'd have to isolate, and several staff are isolating after testing positive.

 

[WestGorton]

Laporte and ake injured ffs

No he is not adequate left back. Would take laporte or Ake over him any day. I hope he assists , tackles etc to prove me wrong.

Both injured

Good to see Mbete back.

Who is he by the way?

Great name

 

[CC1]

sterling gives 100% every game and sometimes try's to hard and that's the problem
the media have set his standers and he feels he has to reach them in every game and you can see it if he misses a early chance. great player and scores big goals

Do you mean Cornish Blue is a tit then

 

[Ric]

As good a team as we could've hoped for in the circumstances. That's an extremely depleted squad though, so we'll do well to get anything out of the game.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Think I’ll avoid the match thread for this one...

side as good as you could hope for, mendy doesn’t deserve his spot but if a lad like mbete can get a seat you have to wonder just how thin on the ground our squad is. Mendy should thank his lucky stars.

I still reckon we’ll win though.

Side note; what game did Laporte really drop the fucking ball, was it spurs? I think that really pissed pep off, or maybe a lack of a reaction? I remember Pep spelt a lot of time commenting on attitude and performance after that one

Think it was Spurs nodded off for the first goal and didn’t hold a line:

That’s the spirit!

 

[bada bing]

Is Mbete related to Frank Spencer

 

[FantasyIreland]

Whoooosh.

To be fair,there are a few things to choose from.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Nervous about zinchenko and Zack!!

Confident any day with the Zinch.

 

[Cityinmud]

Both injured

I know I was replying to someone who said zinchenko is an adequate LB

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

great

 

[abu13]

At least FFS isn't playing.

Means he will be starting the Derby though :(
