Chelsea Vs Norwich (FAC) Wed 17th Jan 2018 19:45 UK

We have to get our attack sorted. 

Norwich defenders would hate to see Willian Pedro Hazard and Morata on together.

                Tibo

Dave Andreas Rudi Alonso

               Kante 

 Willian    Barkley    Pedro

           Hazard

                   Morata

would a goal against a championship team boost his confidence though?

For sure when your confidence is down, a toe poke a mish*t or whatever it boosts the player's confidence.  That's what ex-striker pundits say and makes sense to me.

 
What I would like to see:

Cabellero

Rudiger
Ampadu
Luiz

Zappacosta
Drinkwater
Fabregas
Sterling

Pedro
Batshayuai
Musonda
 

 
I would be very happy for both Morata AND Hazard to start this one. There is no way there is a risk of Hazard getting tired. He is subbed so often that he must be pretty fresh and Morata needs a goal or two to boost his confidence.

I used to watch the BBC a lot, as it was much better than Dutch tv. But now It's one Cooking on Ice show after another   :sad:

Channel four not much better. Come dine with four in a bed sounds like fun, till you see it.

So us not scoring a goal in 3 games is down to luiz not playing, rather than hazard and cesc looking on their last breath, morata doing a picture perfect torres impression, willian/pedro just not being good enough? Well that makes perfect sense to me!!!

Last seasons count for ZILCH. Costa is out despite winning us games single handedly. As is matic who was a main stay. THIS SEASON, luiz has been pathetic. No 2 ways about it and he deserves exactly what he is getting currently. Rudiger and GC have been way better than him. AC has been one of our best defenders. No need to change whats not broken. If we have a problem in attack, then get an attacker who is not andy carrol rather than trying to change the personnel in defence to somehow help in attack. Like i said in the previous post, luiz should stay exactly where he is, on the bench.

You’re completely missing the point here, and in an essence yes, David Luiz dictates the tempo like no other centre back can.

Do you think Edison has had no great impact on the way City play now? A goalkeeper? He has made a massive impact because of his distribution alone, teams just can’t get the ball. I love Christensen by the way, I think he’s actually our most solid defender, but when he’s the main 3 his distribution is not very good. Traditionally it’s not a centre backs job, but the sport has evolved and we’ve seen how ball playing centrebacks are a key to an attacking oriented team.

Keeping hold of the ball and putting pressure on the opposition will always increase our chances of winning the game, we’ve been far too sloppy in the last 3 matches that I wouldn’t even celebrate a clean sheet. We need to go back to the way things were last season when we could outplay teams, counter-attack teams and pressure them for 80 minutes.

 
Chelsea team tonight: Caballero; Azpilicueta (c), David Luiz, Ampadu; Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Kenedy; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro.

Chelsea subs: Eduardo, Christensen, Sterling, Kante, Musonda, Hazard, Morata

 
9 changes but at least he's put a few decent options on the bench this time ...

Bakayoko in the shop window perhaps ? :tongue:
