Deary me had a mare there. The golf is on the tv as well!

Good point. You did say he was 'at the Ryder Cup' though. I wouldnt say i was 'at the chelsea game' if i was watching it on tv.

I agree on the Ivan at CB though. Not sure we can afford to play Cahill again.

He posted this picture an hour ago & I jumped the gun!

Can't wait for Kurt to be back. Hopefully things start slotting into position from then on...

Anyone know any good boozers in Hull?

Not sure how good it is, but were looking at the Brickmakers just across from the stadium

..........…......courtouis

azpi…JT(if fit)/ Ivan…Luiz…Alonso

          Chalobah      Kante

                   Fabregas 

moses                              Hazard

                     Michy 

 

I think benching courtouis is only going to damage his confidence and I dont think that's good for a young keeper  

I have been dying to see a midfield trio of fab Kante and chalobah.

Moses has been good and deserves a start 

Michy has also impressed me and I think it's a perfect game to give our 33 million pound signing a fair run out  

 

Bench our most on form player because? Costa is on fire and playing with pure determination, so bench him piss him off and cause problems, that's not smart at all mate

I hope Terry is back in Central defense. Cahill plays better with him. I wouldn't trust Luiz as a CB because hes a liability. Poor positional sense and doesn't smell danger.

Luiz is a liability yet did barely anything wrong in the last 3 games where Cahill directly cost us goals by sh*tting the bed, doesn't smell danger? He is erratic but his one defensive grace is he covers ridiculously well he is always the last man back hence his epic off the line clearances throughout his career, watch games mate don't just say things you think will be popular. Plus his passing ability and pace bring so much more to the table than Gary, as stands he is twice the player that GC is on current form, no chance Garry puts him on the bench

Costa is probably the one player who looks  likes he cares and puts in a shift every week. I can understand his frustration at times with poor service and lack of support.

Hard to find for some reason, bad sound quality. Spoiler alert: Terry out.

so far the journos aren't asking questions about the match vs Hull City - they seem to stick to the topic of corruption <_<

Hull don't seem to be able to get much of a team together. If Chelsea don't win this might as well give up now. But I expect 3 at the back, we beat them easily and everyone thinks it's the answer ;).

Not sure why couldn't find this at first usually Friday afternoon pre match pressure is out and all over YouTube within an hour but yea didn't address the game st all, I guess they ask the questions that they can make stories out of no one except us care about the hull game where there is general interest in the other subjects and in bigger games. 

Well we need to win this. I didn't watch the arse game having seen the score so I'm untainted.

I've always been a supporter of Cahill, but he has made some bad on the ball decisions in a couple games now, but also scored.

We need to find a way to play without Terry anyhow and clearly the defence and midfield defence isn't working.

Still the team that won the first three games is likely good enough to beat Hull, so Terry aside that is one option, but it only postpones the changes that have to be made.

The only alternative to Cahill for this one is Ivan or a back 3. Ivan has always done quite well in central defence.

In the midfield the question is whether chalobah or fab have done enough to push out matic or Oscar. Fab would be in the team for attack and chalobah for workrate and pace.

It's tough being a manager. I'm a complete believer in Conte. He will get it right.

 

GAMEDAY! COME ON CHELS!!!

HAS to be 3 points today. Hull are a poor side.

no excuses.

Lets cut out the sloppy mistakes,COME ON YOU BLUES!

Wow, if we can't manage 3 points from this, I'll be damned.

We remain a pathetically poor squad. Last year's hangover hasn't quite gone.

Anyways, will probably watch in hope of something motivational, not that we have a chance in hell of recovering this season.

cheers bloodyfool

Hull have played Arsenal, United, and Liverpool already this season so reckon this won't be an easy game for us. Don't really care who plays or how just that we get 3 points to get back on the road for top 4.

Anything less than 3 points today will be an absolute disaster

Well we're probably gonna let in the the usual 2 goals so iam going for 3-2 to the Chels....KTBFFH!!!

Pathetic.

If the Daily Heil are to be believed, Ivan is being "axed" for today's match and we might go for a back three formation. 

I'm all for it, we need to change something to stop us shipping so many goals.

Agree with you, just try something differant from the same old formation and usual players

No Terry yet again. Conte will have to get creative in defense. Alonso should play and Bran should not. Matic to the bench replaced by Fabregas. We need service from midfield. Truth is with our defense we will have to score more than Hull do, hence the inclusion of Fabreagas. I will be happy when Terry and Zouma are back but Conte will strengthen the back four in January. He certainly needs to. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!!
