Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[Rammyblues]

Win this and we are effectively 7 points ahead of Chelsea this is one of those games which may determine who finishes where at the end of the season.

Think he might play four at the back, Fernandinho and Gundogan - and sacrifice a striker.

I'd go two nominal DMs (Fern and Danilo) two centre halfs (Stones and Otamedi) with Walker and Delph on the flanks.

Chelsea are one of the best teams in Europe, so another body is required in the middle

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Delph
Fernandinho
Gundogan
D Silva
De Bruyne
Sane
Aguero

-------Gundogan-----------------KDB----------
---------------------Sterling--------------------
---------------------Aguero------------------

- Walker had a really hard time vs Bernard who is a btec Hazard so belts and braces down the flanks is crucial.
- Need a player able to turn Kante and Bakayoko in midfield hence giving Gundo a start
- Sterling simply deserves the start
- Aguero has a good record vs Chelsea, just needs to stop trying to kill Luiz

Thankfully Luiz is still suspended for this one.

My only concern is how slow we've been out of the blocks in the previous two games. We've needed a half time boost before we got going.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Not sure why we are playing this game, we should all save the expense and stay at home. Talkshite have already predicted that we will get hammered.

Seem to remember it was this stage last season they went 5 clear of us.......revenge time! We're not missing all the sitters this time.

It may not stop Sergio entering the stands and going after him :-)
