Chelsea (H) - Sat 15th Jan, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Gray]

Are German managers hypocrites by nature ?

Lord Hawhaw.

I am like wtf with the omitting Dias from the starting line up.

As others have pointed out his organisational awareness and leadership will be a bit of a miss in a big game like this.

I trust Pep though.

I doubt Dias is being rested. It's like 8 days since he last played. Nobody is being rested when we are playing once a week. Either it's tactical or he just returned from covid.

Maybe he needs a rest. Now John is back he can sit this 1 out. Shame as I would rather have Dias than Laporte.

We’ve just had our biggest rest months, it has to be covid/injury related.

Feel very relaxed again. I feel a steady winning performance and a sending off for the chavs . Come on blue boys.

 

[waspish]

If we were 5 points clear they’ll be saying this a crucial game City win it and it’s over for Chelsea! All perspective

 

[Eoiyflem]

Somewhat of a free hit for us today imo. Chelsea must win, nothing else is good enough whereas we're sitting clear no matter what. This could play nicely into our hands

Why on the bench? He should be left at home.
