Chelsea (A) - Thu 5th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Inter Me Nan]

Something tells me Chelsea will score from their 1st shot on target

If Foden doesn't start here something is afoot, I know Mahrez has scored and assisted in these last few matches but he's a virtual spectator for 80 minutes of any game he starts. Foden and Palmer on the wings for me now, but Pep would shit himself too much to give Palmer a start in the prem

 

[Willtaylor]

Mahrez and Grealish will start so everyone just needs to pick 9 to go with them

 

[simon23]

Foden------Haaland--------Alvarez

--------KDB---------Gundo/Bernardo

--------------Rodri

Cancello -------Laporte-------Akanji/Stones------Walker

-------------Ortega


We wont get that but thats what I would play

 

[wattle]

Foden------Haaland--------Alvarez

--------KDB---------Gundo/Bernardo

--------------Rodri

Cancello -------Laporte-------Akanji/Stones------Walker

-------------Ortega

I’d age apart from dropping eddy. Why would you do that?

only cause Ortega is the cup keeper usually

Palmer not good enough but we definitely need to start with Foden on the pitch, instead of either Mahrez or Grealish.

 

[youngbob]

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne, Bernardo/Gundogan
Foden, Haaland, Grealish/Alvarez

Would like to see both grealish and mahrez dropped. Foden and either Bernardo or Alvarez on the wings

Yet he will give Lewis one, what does that tell you about which player has shown himself ready and which hasn’t.
