Chelsea pre-match thread

[Mancini Manus Domini]

De Bruyne on the right. Navas at right back. Fern in midfield with Delph.

 

[SWP's back]

i dont understand why zaba isn't playing.

Because hazard will have 2017 Zabba on toast and get him sent off.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I'm hoping Navas is at rb and Fernandinho in midfield otherwise I think Delph will really struggle.

 

[BlueMojito]

Wow captain back, great to see. Not too sure why Delph has got the nod? Anyone know how long Sterling might be out for?

 

[domalino]

Haahahahahaha just don't know what to think about that.

 

[Pepup]

Oh well got to laugh, sit back and enjoy the roller coaster.

 

[jimharri]

Anyone else nervous for Vinny?

 

[Don Karleone]

It's going to be interesting either way.

Just hope Vinny lasts the whole game.

 

[kaz7]

Sane seems to play better with raz on the other side and dave with yaya

 

[Larry Stranger]

3 at the back with Delph and Navas as wingbacks?

 

[Goater=Legend]

Biggest grin on my face when I seen Kompany starting

 

[cadds92]

De Bruyne on the right. Navas at right back. Fern in midfield with Delph.

I agree. Looking at it now that's how I see it.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Because hazard will have 2017 Zabba on toast and get him sent off.

maybe he would. i dont think navas is a good choice though, he wasnt great against arsenal

 

[simon23]

Otamendi injured?

either that or Pep has finally had enough of his headless chicken routine.

After pep's earlier season comments about needing players who were thoughtful on the pitch and stayed on their feet/didnt dive in, Ottomendi has been very lucky to play as many games as he has done

 

[SWP's back]

The bed wetters are out in force again

Never a game without them. Fuck knows why more aren't professional managers to be honest.

If only they picked the team we'd be champions already.

Least Otamendi ain't playing.

Chelsea team is strong. Let's hope De Bruyne shows up

 

[pudge]

Do those who fixate on talking down to those addressing the team selection actually have anything to contribute to the team selection themselves?

 

[simon23]

I agree. Looking at it now that's how I see it.

i thought that possibly as well

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Delph, Navas and Clichy?......wow! Pep taking a bit of a risk!

 

[mdj0520]

Could be a 3 at the back with dinho in the middle with delph and navas as wing backs. I thin Delph gets unnecessary stick on here. Puts in effort and is underrated technically... when fit.

 

[super_city_si]

I'm hoping Navas is at rb and Fernandinho in midfield otherwise I think Delph will really struggle.

I hope Navas is nowhere near right back. He cant tackle and will give away a penatly
