Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[Easy]

There’s no point starting out of form players against top teams. He’ll get plenty of opportunities to stake his claim for a regular start starting on Tuesday. If he plays a blinder on Tuesday then dropping him today will have done the trick.

Can’t argue with that, just worried his confidence could suffer and Tuesday coming too soon for him to get his head right but let’s see.

 

[Gabriel]

When was the last time we played without either Kun or Gab in the PL?

If you mean started, 7th April against that lot. Both were on the bench that day.

I hope you mean Wednesday

Very suprised Peps left Jesus out, albeit im not his biggest fan, be interesting to see the positions mahrez and sterling play.

Really looking fwd to this game but as usual, will give the lead up on BT a miss until just before KO

There's still a fair bit of defensive quality in the difference imo.

I would say it's pretty even, they have better fullbacks and we have better centre backs.

Raz hattrick, all 3 from tap-ins

You haven't seen Alonso try to defend as a full back then. Azpilicueta isn't having a great season either.

 

[Armaan]

That Chelsea midfield 3 looks tough, we might struggle today.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

United absolutely bossed them on the break the other week.

We need to string them out, so counter-attack could be the key.

Make sure Hazard is isolated.

Would be very confident if KDB was playing and Mahrez was the one to give way.
