What's new

Chelsea v Spuds (PL) Sun 14th Aug 2022 16:30 GMT

Both teams would take a draw now if it's offered. They are better than us in the final third, but their defence is still suspect, so I dobut Conte will go for it. It will be a cagey game with both teams trying to capture on mistakes. I would play an extra MF and make it a 352

 
We will smash them - 3-0, common you blues . Brace for sterling and a Jorgi pen!

No, we should not be thinking that way. We need to set down a marker. Our woeful home form must improve.

 
This game shouldn't concern me because......well, it's Tottenham, but there is a lot stacked against.

Our home record sucks, it really needs to improve this season. The Bridge has become a library, fans seem fed up. I can't blame them either, our football has completely gone to sh*t. It's possibly more boring than it's ever been, maybe more boring than it was under Sarri, and I hated almost everything about the way we played under Sarri.

Tottenham have had a resurgence and look far more prepared for the season than we do.

Conte looks like he wants it, and when he is in this mood, his teams are pretty ruthless.

Tbf the sanctions hurt our home support. Can see Conte giving us too much respect for the 4th time. 

Hope Tuchel bins off both Mount and Havertz if they dare to replicate their Everton performance.

This (or Sarri) will never get close to Carlo and Conte's respective seasons and don't get me started on the Jose meltdown period.

From football enjoyment pov,  it is probably worse because at least back then we had hazard. Sterling has been interesting but he is no eden. The best part of last week game imo was cucu smash ball. 

 
Yes it was the performance last week that disappointed. As stated I much prefer kova and Jorginho to Kante and Jorginho even though Kante is the better player. It is a long season and last year man c started slowly. 

 
                                            Mendy

     James              Silva.           Koulibaly.            Chilwell

                                             Kante

                              Gallagher.        Kovacic

               Mount.                 Havertz.          Sterling 

Go for it TT. 

 
We normally play better against a more attacking side, but maybe depends how Spurs set up.

Whether we win or not who knows, we can only hope we pull out a performance against a direct rival, but I wouldn't be surprised to lose though as Spurs look fairly decent.

After last weeks pretty dire performance, you're never really sure what to expect.

 
Doesn't TT normally go 4 at the back against Spurs?

Their media machine has certainly been earning its crust... the narrative is Spurs have been running all summer and are now fit as a fiddle. Hope our players don't start believing it 

 
KoVa wont play Tuchel says, sore knee. Sounds like an ongoing issue as well. Shame.

With Sterling set for the false 9 Role again it seems likely only one position is up for grabs on Sunday

Mendy

Dave

Silva

Koulibaly 

James

Kante

Jorginho 

Cucurella

Mount

Sterling

Havertz/Broja/Gallagher/Ziyech/Pulisic/CHO

 
How are you feeling ahead of this @just?

I remember you having Spuds at work or around your home area.

Feeling confident?

I mean if Sterling is fine with that, why not play Havertz as a false 9 in the middle?

Found havertz underwhelming lately, give Broja a chance and bring Havertz back on from the bench
