Through a conspiracy of no doubt massive proportions I'm going to be working through this game as well - can someone do the MOTM thread again? I'm happy to do it when I get back, but the earlier it goes up the more people will vote.

COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!!

If nobody does it by 5pm, I'll put it up mate.

I'll try to remember to do it again.

I suppose I could always make the poll as soon as the team is announced listing all subs as vote options?

Or do you think that it wouldn't work as well doing it that way?

If you do that I can lock it until 5pm, then edit out the no shows off the bench  and unlock.

Come on you Blues ! 4-1 my score.

 

Why is Tony Gale commentating on Chelsea anyway, he seems to hate us. I wouldn't let that prick set foot in the stadium if it was up to me

The crystal ball has spoken and it is as ridiculous as the previous games, maybe more so. Here is its predictions:

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Begovi?; Ivanovi?, Cahill, Mikel ©, Aina; Kanté, Loftus-Cheek; Moses, Pedro, Fàbregas; Oscar

Subs: Courtois, Terry, Chalobah, Willian, Hazard, Rémy, Kenedy

Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Burnley (Oscar, Rémy)

So, there you go. Back to 4-2-3-1 apparently. Begovi? keeping his spot, as do Moses and Pedro. Mikel lining up at centre back for his first appearance of the season. No fit striker able to start (although Rémy comes on and scores anyway). I like the score though. First clean sheet of the season! Come on, you Blues!

Please keep up the crystal ball throughout the season. I'm loving the predictions!

Team is: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpi, Kante, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa

willian back, usual starting xi

The same sh*te team again, awful 70 minutes coming up until Fabregas and Batshuayi come on and save us

No cesc, no michy, same old same

LOL

How many times does he except this crap team to get bailed out by the subs?

Sick of the sight of Oscar and Ivanovic.

Too conservative a lineup IMO. 

Conte Out

Only 3 games in, but please Conte, do not fall into the trap of playing the same names, no matter how poor they are/how well their replacements play.

 

Cesc and Michy should be in, 2 uptop

rafa > conte

rafa > conte

Jog on

Jog on

0-0 at half with that boring ass lineup.

0 creativity... no Moses, no Aina, no Fabregas, no RLC. It's time to lose points. Where is the proverbial Conte flexibility?

You must have been bursting with excitement all morning to make that one

What's the likelihood that ivanovic has inflammatory text exchanges on both mourinho AND conte?

Dissapointing that Fabregas is not starting atleast, Burnley will in the most of this game stay deep and Oscar/Matic will struggle with finding the right passes.

Still early doors but if I'm fabregas I'm probably on the phone to my agent , did more in 10 mins then Oscar in the 70 prior but doesn't get the nod, righting on the wall.

i could make a case for the center mids if we played two up top but with 3 in the middle you got to include cesc
