I think he will get a mixed reception, I don't think people like how he refused to sign that City shirt it was disrespectful.
My opinion on him is he's useless & has taken Chelsea backwards, he offers absolutely nothing.
Not sure we should be 'resting' people against Brentford, who on their day are a very decent team!Good strong team for me please .
Pep likes winning the league cup. Winning breeds winning.
Can rest one or two on saturday of needs be
Just thinking this myself Al - good point.True, but the players from countries knocked out will be back with clubs and a fair few of our players will go and not get loads of minutes.
Ederson, Walker (potentially), Akanji (assuming they don’t progress very far), Ake, Rodri, Phillips, Foden (potentially), Grealish, Mahrez, Haaland, Alvarez all May not got loads of minutes.
Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Laporte, Bernardo, Gundogan are the ones that will be played all the time if fit.
I said he IS useless not that he WAS useless for us. Also I never boo any player current or ex, I've actually had massive rows with blues who booed the likes of Bony whilst he was playing for us & for defending Joey Barton (Because he helped keep us up) when he returned after kicking Aguero.Apart from the fact he scored over 100 goals for City, among many other attributes.
I agree though he will get a mixed reception. Will be highlighted by the media and sadly reflex on the majority who want to show our appreciation for returning players who gave their all for the club.
Enjoy your little boo, if you are going.
Also Ake is a starter, going to play many minutes, although I am not sure about his team chances for a long rideYou missed KDB. He will get no rest from Martinez, doesn’t even get rested in friendlies
We have a very decent squad, we can rotate nicely and win both gamesNot sure we should be 'resting' people against Brentford, who on their day are a very decent team!
They usually kick off with each other early doorsAlso Ake is a starter, going to play many minutes, although I am not sure about his team chances for a long ride
Ake has started a bit more for Netherlands recently, but he is far from a certainty to play.Also Ake is a starter, going to play many minutes, although I am not sure about his team chances for a long ride
Yeah, its probably more accurate, but would be a bit of shame as they play 3 at the back and my impression always been like LCB in back 3 is his ideal positionAke has started a bit more for Netherlands recently, but he is far from a certainty to play.
