Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[IWasHere]

I'd go with

Ederson
Otamendi Stones Danilo
Walker Dinho KDB Silva Sane
Sterling Jesus

 

[Grassland Blue]

I'd say it's nailed on.

Just get your coat - that's made me cross!

 

[Bluemanc100]

I'd say it's nailed on.

Pep will be crucified if he doesn't pick the lad...

 

[Bluemanc100]

Let them under rate us all they want.

They obviously haven't seen Ederson play and KDB among others must be invisible on tele. What I'm trying to say is FUCK 'EM.

KDB has added impetus as it was Chelsea (admittedly PEG) that sold him.... It's payback time

I think he's over it by now.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I wouldn't go with a back 3 today. Chelsea have been playing it for 1 year and appear to have nailed it. We still have teething problems

 

[Bluemanc100]

I think he's over it by now.

I hope he isn't... I'd want to make them suffer every time I played them....

 

[CityInWashingtonState]

Ederson
Otamendi Stones Walker
KDB Gundogan
B. Silva D.Silva
Sterling Jesus Sane

Mainly due to injuries, the team pretty much picks itself right now depending on how Pep wants to set up which is a little unusual given at the start of the season we were on about being able to rotate seamlessly with no drop in quality. Big game, it's not a must win but it's a must not lose. The pressure is on Chelsea more than us to get a result, if Pep sets up right that could play into our hands nicely.

It's hardly a must not lose game,if we do it puts Chelsea level on points with us and probably 3 behind the rags who haven't played any tricky games yet.
If we do lose the important thing is not to let it derail us like happened last season.

 

[Easy]

Regardless of his talent I'm happy that Hazard turned us down - he's an annoying little shit. I hope Raheem's seen that vid and it fires him up, I'll be disappointed if he doesn't start today. Sane, GJ and Sterling as a front three, please.

I don't like Hazard either but he is a fine player. I think Raz has definitely seen it, would love for him to score another winner. That front 3 has to start today. I believe we never lost when they have started although the sample size is small, they've always looked good and now have all improved greatly.

LOL...The bottom feeders clearly rate our chances....

LOL Moses over Walker?? Deluded.

 

[adeinchessy]

I'd love it if Raheem bags today. Bit weird this from the crock.

Come on lads. I love Raheem but credit where it's due. This is a surprisingly good impression. We'd all laugh if it was Mendy doing it.

 

[Blue Coop]

Shed End are very confident.

If Walker plays well with Hazard I think we have a lot more than them going forward. It's a shame Kompany is out because he would eat Morata up.

+1
However, our final standing in the league is likely to be dictated by how well we preform against the remaining top-6 clubs; the Scum and Chelsea and likely Totenham too will very rarely drop points against lesser competition - so we must match that and then perform well against the elite.

Losing to Chelsea will be a setback should it occur.

There's still Courtois to aim his rage at, perhaps that could be more efficient.

 

[The Riot Club]

Toughest fixture of any club's season in this league. If someone has a poor game, misses too many chances, especially early on, or more likely the officials are shit/biased then we lose.

Vital that Otamendi doesnt dive in or give the ball away, Fern keeps his head in the face of incessant goading from Fabregas, and our forwards take their chances as we won't get many and they'll be playing everything through Hazard who as well as being insanely skilful is also a diving, snide little cünt who will make sure the ref gives everything their way.

Not a game to enjoy but to endure I think. Would take 0-0 right now.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Defend your own.... fuck that Flemish twunt

I'm hoping this isn't a deliberate ploy to add some pressure to the lad as he has a propensity to over think, however im expecting Raz to slam this down the cockney chavs throats...

Fuck tin tin

 

[adeinchessy]

LOL...The bottom feeders clearly rate our chances....

What do you call a collection of arses? I don't know either but there are 3 of them here.
What about these choices:
KDB or Alonso
Sterling or Pedro
Sane or Willian
Stones or Cahill
There is no question that Kyle Walker is better than Moses
As for the other comparisons would you take Courtois in place of Ederson or Morata in place of Jesus? Neither would I.
Where was the question "Who would you rather watch?"?

Be funny if Sterling scored a last minute winner and then celebrated by limping to the halfway line like Hazard when he subbed himself off against Leicester because he wanted to save face. The fucking mercenary.

 

[Hoghead]

If the ref keeps his cards in his pocket (except for diving) then it should be a very close game and difficult to call. Take half our chances and it's ours.

He's actually a Walloon, so 'tin tin' is about right.
