Chelsea Pre match thread

Personally, I would rather Vinnie didn't start but came on later. He won't be match fit and Ota/Mangla seem to be working things out now between them

Vinny needs games give him a chance to prove his fitness

Hence why I suggested he came on later.

For me he needs a couple of full games or at least 60/70mins

Just don't think we should be breaking up Ota / Mangler just yet. Appreciate we need to get Vinnie up and running though.

Who'd be a manager :)

Sorry just can't trust ota at the moment and will be more comfortable with vinny bk

Vinnie is the best we have, but I personally just feel that Ota & Eli are starting to understand each other better and have looked solid recently. Chelsea away will be difficult, so for me disrupting a pair that are gelling wouldn't be ideal

Tbh, i don't think their upturn in form is anything to do with their understanding of each other.
It's down to the manager playing them in a system that doesn't leave them constantly high and dry.

IF ANYONE FEELS LIKE HELPING!

First time watching chelsea away, just wondered if anybody knows of 'away friendly' pubs in the area as I can't seem to find anything online.

I've already posted and had no response so hoping someone out there can help a fellow blue!

Thanks

Fulham Mitre on Dawes Rd

Nice one

 

[Dewey6]

Don't risk Kompany, wrap the twat up until the semi final

We will be OK with Mangala and Otamendi

Someone make sure Demi and Bony are making the prawn sandwiches and nowhere near the fucking squad list

The only way those two could do more damage to our season than they already have is to be in charge of prawn sandwiches.......

Am I right in thinking that Costa is suspended?

I think so

 

[Luke The Blue]

Such a big game this. We need those 3 points so bad.

No Costa is available for them I think

I honestly think Aguero needs to be rested for this game, i think he is one bad fall or stretch from another injury- Nacho must start for me, even in the FA cup game when we played the kids (who were better than our senior players in that game) Nacho was one of our better players - we will need Aguero more in the games coming up, can still play a strong team without Aguero:

Hart
Zabba Komp Manga Clichy

Dinho Delph

KDB YAYA Nasri

Nacho

That leaves: Cab, Sagna, Ota, Kolarov, Fernando, Aguero, Silva (although i doubt he will not put Bony on the bench - but we can all live in hope)
This bench would leave lots of options Maybe even rest Sagna or Silva Completely and have navas or Garcia (or Bony :-( )

No, his suspension is over now.
