Chelsea V BATE Borisov (EL) Thurs 25th Oct 20:00 UK

                         Kepa

Zappacosta  Cahill  Christensen  Emerson

                          Cesc

          Loftus Cheek     Barkley

        Moses       Morata       Pedro

That's what I reckon we might see. 

Won't hold my breath for Hudson-Odoi getting any minutes even though I think we could benefit from seeing someone else challenging for a place in the wide areas. 
This would be my chosen team, but with CHO in place of Pedro.

I don't get the impression he will start CHO either, but I would love the look of that starting 11 (as a second string) if we did.

 
Let's make it 3 of 3 in the Europe League.

I like Sarri a lot, but I'm still waiting for him to put some trust in youth. CHO must be played in this game.

That's the lineup I'd like to see:

------------- Willy --------------

Zappacosta - Cahill - Christensen - Emerson

------------ Fabregas ------------

--- Loftus-Cheek --- Barkley ---------

Moses ---- CHO ----- Pedro

With all the respect, but I don't want to watch Morata playing when our own talent isn't being used as a sub. Barkley is in good form, he should keep that going and I wouldn't mind seeing him in our starting lineup in the league as well.

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!

 
You'd play a teenager as a central striker when his natural position is as a winger/wide attacker?  I know we all want to see him come through, but come on, be a bit sensible about it.  Has he EVER played central striker before?  Ever?

 
Game Day.

Come on Chelsea.

I know people decry the Europa League and to be honest I'd much rather we were in the Champions League.

However, I remember back in the late 70s/early 80s . I used to look on with envy at the English teams in the European Tournaments and wishing we were in any of them

Preferably the European Cup mind you... :biggrin:

 
Judging by that press conference, i don't even know if Hudson Odoi will make the bench.

I feel there’s more to this, maybe tied in with his contract. Remember we never used solanke as he wouldn’t sign a contact.

Hope I’m wrong as Cho is clearly the most exciting winger we’ve produced since roman came in.

 
What i expect to see:​

 ​

Kepa​

Azpi  Cahill  Christensen  Alonso​

Cesc​

Kovacic          RLC​

Moses      Morata      Willian​
 
Did anyone watch hakimi play yesterday, I wish we took him on loan as well from RM what a player, he can play rb, cb, played left wingback yesterday and looks like he could easily be an all out winger as well.

 
Pictures of Hudson-Odoi in training, don’t think he’s injured, but can’t see him making the bench if he’s a slight doubt, even if he isn’t lol.

Dortmund were awesome. And yeah he was great but team play was good. So fast in the final 1/3

 
Hopefully this game will be a bit easier than the first two. Where are the days that we trashed these teams 8-0?

Hoping to see some of the backup players getting a chance, especially Christensen and Emerson

Yep this is one of my pet peeves this season. Not really put any teams to the sword yet at all. Could do with a match or two where we just annihilate the other team.

This is the team which I saw on line as being suggested to start.

Would be baffled not to see Emerson & Zappacosta to be honest.... 

Other than that, fairly happy, but would obviously have CHO on the left if fit.

Whoever isn't starting against Burnley from Barkley/Kovacic I would start tonight.
