That’ll do. Is Dias being rested or is he not fully fit ?

 

[Blue Til Death]

This will do nicely ..!

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Guessing the two new Covid cases are Palmer and Ake then?

 

[MCFC1993]

Chelsea as defensive as ever. Probably their strongest midfield though.

Take some shots at that fucking keeper.

 

[mat]

Kepa will either be peak Tony Coton or Barry Siddell today.

They'll be no middle ground with him.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Subs bench suggests otherwise.

Or maybe he is not 100% fit

 

[alexmcity]

Foden or KDB in midfield? Or Grealish?

We are going to have 4 false 9s at various points:: KDB, Foden, Bernardo, Grealisn. Stop that :)

 

[Eccles Blue]

Yyyyeeeeeaaaahhhh John Boy’s back. Come on John Boy. Welcome back.

 

[malg]

He got his gloves from B&Q,

 

[simon23]

Dias cant be fully fit or he has to start...... a lack of leadership at the back without him

The only other change should be Jesus for Grealish..more effort and better pressing from the front.....bit more of a goal threat as well

Not our strongest 11 especially without Dias and we have lost Jesus' energy which i think we need....

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I think Dias has been a bit overplayed recently and not been at his very best. Two strong sides. No Mount for Chelsea

 

[Claytop]

he would play if fit

Hmm.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Chelsea as defensive as ever. Probably their strongest midfield though.

Take some shots at that fucking keeper.

Mason mount probably their 2nd best player

 

[kaz7]

Would much rather gundy than jack , ruby rather than eric but lets go

COME ON BLUEBOYS

 

[mike1923]

Great team. No Jorginho our mount starting for Chelsea either

 

[tommybooth]

Game on.

 

[Chi-town blues]

He got his gloves from B&Q,

hahahaha

 

[stonerblue]

Foden hat trick

 

[whp.blue]

Yyyyeeeeeaaaahhhh John Boy’s back. Come on John Boy. Welcome back.

He needs to hit ground running, no room for rustiness today.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Can't really comment on the team, we've no idea what condition any of them are in. In an ideal world you'd want Dias on the pitch and you'd want Gundogan or Jesus ahead of Grealish all day but it is what it is. We make do. Certainly a much tighter game now we've seen the two sides. sterling down the right against alonso and sarr could be crucial. Foden to be the difference.
