Basically if Chelsea FC rather than Charity FC show up for this game we won. Leeds have players missing and lost another to suspension today.

If we beat Leeds we dont need to worry about top 4 anymore even if Spurs beat Arsenal, which I think they will.

Leicester are hopeless and Watford are even worse, no chance we lose both those games even if Pool hammer us in the cup.

However a draw or loss at Leeds and it becomes very interesting IF Spurs beat Arsenal.

I don't know what it is about Dave at RCB and Timo up top that TT has seen of late that makes him Starr over and over again.

Maybe he believe Dave is thr best one to deal with liverpools left side and that Werner will get at their high line and he is treating every opponent at FA Cup prep.

Anyways for what it is worth I think he is wrong in this matter, and that they will both be exposed in the cup final.

As for this game I would like to see,

Mendy

Chalobah 

Silva

Rudiger

James

Jorginho 

Kovacic

Alonso

Ziyech

Mount

Lukaku

Actually scratch that. Would not risk Silva against these dirty bar stewards. Put AC in unless his tummy goes. If it does then Sarr.

Also if Havertz must play then have him in for Ziyech.

Well TT or the coaching staff need to know now to make preparations for Leeds so we don't get a repeat of Everton's fans lighting fireworks over night and to prepare themselves for bottles being thrown at the coach when it is on it's way to Elland Road.

This is what I'm thinking of right now. I hope there is no repeat of that Everton situation again.

 
Leeds' result against the Arse has heaped even more pressure on them to get a result against us - typical !!

I just hope Charity Chelsea don't turn up again offering free gifts to the afflicted as we normally do. With Ayling banned for three games and Dallas suffering a bad injury, they will be stretched, but they do have fight in abundance. We need to be disciplined, especially when it gets feisty, stick to a game plan and take our chances FFS. I would go with the following;

Mendy

Chalobah Silva Rudi

Kante Kovacic

James Havertz Mount Alonso

Lukaku

We have to pray that Rom has found his shooting boots and that he is up for it. not 100% certain if Kante is fit, but if he is not RLC. TT please do not pick, Werner, Saul, Sarr, CHO or Pulisic under any fu**ing circumstances !!

 
Maybe Boehly can put some pressure on the American manager if Leeds to get the to roll over?

Is this the same charity FC that has the 2nd best away record in the league ?

I understand people worrying about our home form, but away from home we are the opposite of charity.

Yes. You can throw that 2nd best away record out of the window after the Real 2nd leg. We are now a different Chelsea because one of the top key things about football is mentality.

Let me remind you we were Charity FC in our last away game.

If you mean Everton I watched a lot on youtube after as I missed the match live and in that second we tried hard to get an equaliser the ball would not fall kindly or we were not creative enough though I don't think they gave up. Pickford also was probably MOTM.

We just need to be ready to fight at Leeds and keep our nerve early on, we can't afford a shaky start.

Almost....

But that diabolical first half though. They gave up there, and that's enough for me. Why do we have to start performing after the goal? It's too late as Everton were going to park 10 buses as they were desperate for 3 points. And this team struggles hard against low-block teams.

In my head, I can only remember one strong attack from us, which included us hitting the post. That's not good enough. But, we put ourselves in that position because we conceded.

Pre-last international break, this side would not behave like this unless it's freak. Now it's becoming a regular.

I am delighted to stand corrected !! I guess it wasn't our home form that has kept us in 3rd place, I have been 4 times this season and haven't seen us win yet.

Lets hope the away form continues.

As the saying goes "Charity begins at home"

Yeah i don't know why we aren't performing at home, but were much stronger away, we were unlucky v Everton with woodwork and Pickford MOTM, at the time if we had won that game we would have had the equal best away record with city.

To be fair, the atmosphere, is nothing like it used to be or has been in the big European games. The away fans sing from start to finish and really get behind their Club, irrespective of who they are, and we have so many empty seats that the old crescendo of sound in songs like Carefree and One man went to mow, is lost. The Bridge used to be inpenetrable, but Clubs fancy their chances now due to our lacklustre form. The picture is behind us at the top of the East Upper, DURING the game, tickets usually on general sale or Members
