Chelsea pre-match thread

Nice to see Delph being given a kickabout.
Unfathomable, but will take comfort in the faith and optimism of those that know better.

We need people with a bit of speed tonight,hence why Yaya is on the bench.Otherwise I`m not too despondent in that selection.Could have been worse ... Kolarov could have started.

Surely Navas rb, fern and delph in cm? So glad vinny's back, touch wood no injury for the big man. Didn't fancy us tonight but think this team looks more solid.

I don't think so.. mate. Kompany and Delph are entirely different worlds in terms of quality and experience in big games.

they are but the comment was made because neither have played for a long time

 

[zandvoort blue]

all i want from this game is vinnie to come through unscathed. any points would be a bonus

THIS

A Delph or Kompany goal tonight would be something.

A Navas goal? Nah even I'm not that fucking crazy.

 

[mosssideblue]

The big risk for me is having no Otto on the bench, we all hope that he is fully fit but if he does tire or god forbid picks up another injury we only have AK as cover.

AK at CB is OK with me

No one wondering where people may play or the formation are being labelled as such.

That's because they wet the fuckin bed every time a team is announced irrespective of who is selected

Make your minds up.

Pep is giving everyone a chance to play.
Unfortunately, we have too many changes in the back 6.
No cohesion in the team.

I understand picking a team to surprise the opponent but with these constant changes in starting eleven and team formation he is surprising everyone now including the team itself.

It's not a change of formation.

It's 4-1-4-1, as Pep has been playing for weeks.

Kompany on BT Sport: "It was either this game or Friday with the ressies"
