What's new

Brentford v Chelsea (PL) Wed 19th Oct 2022 19:30 GMT

I'm a fan of Mount and Gallagher in the same team - the work rate is hard to match (added bonus they both have quality).

Not sure what to expect - hope for a win and would be a big win, but this is a journey.  Can see a draw today.

 
Tbh i am not crazy about this line up. Broja and gallagher deserve to be playing but again 3 at the back against Brentford and Mount in the middle is just a bit strange. I would have liked to see a different formation.

Unless Potter is playing 4-2-3-1 instead with loftus cheek and Jorginho in the middle.

 
Another first tonight, it’s the first time I’ve heard our manager speak. Not bothering to get attached to this one.

Nah you're right... after all, when was the last time we saw Kepa save the game for Chelsea..?

That makes it, what, one time in four years?

Really man! Kepa has being outstanding of late so very strange people still give him grief.

Not trusting him fully to command his area if the game turns into the ball repeatedly being crossed into our box again is hardly unfair "grief". He's been good under Potter so far, was brilliant on Sunday, but it'll take a lot more than that for me to be able to trust him as undisputed #1 over Mendy.

 
Could still be a back 3.

Kepa

Dave

Chalobah 

Koulibaly 

RLC or Gallagher

Gallagher or RLC

Jorginho 

Cucurella

Mount

Honestly I'm sort of hoping we go with 4 in the back.  I feel like the 3 at the back formation requires on great wingback play which we don't have consistently without Reece James.

A few games ago we played a 4-2-3-1 and it worked pretty well.  I'd like to go back to that.

A few permutations there (all of which I think we've seen before this season): 4-diamond-2 with Mount behind Havertz and Broja, a somewhat orthodox 4-4-2 with Mount and Gallagher as the 'wide' midfielders, or a back three with Loftus-Cheek at wing-back.

We should for me (vs United) play Chalobah-Silva-K2 back three with Ruben wingback.

Gallagher needs to lose the tights. Not a good look for a midfielder. 😡

 
Strange times. More concerned about us getting a shoeing from Brentford than i was about Aston Villa. Who'd have thought that the Griffin Park boys would be a formidable PL force and a team steeped in history such as Aston Villa are relegation fodder

If Brentford bombard us like in this fixture last year I don't trust Kepa to save us like Mendy did. Good to see Broja start. Will take any kind of win tonight, then we look good for the United game at the weekend with a fresh team.

Still a Kepa unbeliever? Only conceded 1 goal in 5 games. About to be 6.
