agreed totally, if the bench can not beat Brentford so be it

Also, I hope this game won't be too difficult for @Nibs to watch what with the return of Josh McEachran, I'm sure he's probably still clinging to the hope deep down he'll one day fulfil his potential and return to Chelsea.

 

I'm sure the club will see first-hand tomorrow what a massive mistake it was to let Josh go. Can see him totally running the show for the 1st to the 90th minute and I fear our cup run will be over for another year.

At least there will still be time to sign him back for £50m before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. Saw a couple of online headlines yesterday that read "McEachran was a bigger star than Pogba". You better believe it.

 

The reality is he will be on the bench and will be lucky to get on!

 

Can't see Musonda or Kenedy playing as this would make them un-loanable for other clubs for the rest of this season. be nice to see Brana feature if the rumours of him and Zenith are true, People (myself included!) have forgot far too easy over the past 18 months what a soldier he has been for us....Be nice to give him the send off he richly deserves.

Ake, Bats, Chalobah and RLC starting apparently.

Begovic 

Zouma Luiz Terry 

Moses           Ake

Chalobah Fabregas 

William.  Bats.   RLC

what channel is this being shown on tomorrow?

When asked about young players, he seems to say that Aina could go on loan, but that Ruben and Chalobah are going to remain.

Then he was asked if we will see any of them tomorrow and it sounded like he said that we would NOT see them?

FS1 in the States. 

 

Hardest part of the job has to be sitting in front of this bunch of throbbers and answering their inane questions.

I think he was referring to musonda and Kennedy as they won't be able to go out on loan if they play 1 second for Chelsea

Any chance this will be streamed?

I'm curious about this also. Would like to watch but it isn't covered by our cable provider. 

With big games in the PL right of the FA against a lower ranked team, I suspect we'd give our first team a big break. They need it for the challenges ahead.

Brentford won't be a pushover by any means and will likely be more motivated than us.

Begovic likely starts but not Ivan or musonda or Kennedy. Shame Kennedy would be ideal for this.

Begovic

Zouma Terry Cahill

Aina. Ake

Chaloabah fab

Rlc. Bats Willian

Ake better in centre but there is no one other than Alonso or Kennedy for lwb and not much choice on the right. Very thin squad without Oscar.

Matchday,whatever team we put out.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

Sometimes you have to let unproven players prove they can do it. I'd like to see us put a little responsibility on the younger players but Conte may value continuity more at this point

Looking forward to this, our of my rare visits to the bridge these days, and I get to take my two boys!

Come on Chelsea put on a performance for us.

 

Thanks to StuBrown1 for the tickets, thanks as well to everyone else on here that offered to help.

C'MON CHELSEA!!!!!

On espn here in Australia.

Begovic may be off to Bournemouth so it could be his last game. We need to give a run out to the second string players with the addition of Fabregas and Willian. We should win this match but this is the FA CUP and anything can happen as we well know.I'm hoping for an easy victory. Big games coming up against the Dippers and L'Arse. We don't need any injuries or suspensions. Keep the first 11 fit for those matches. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Would love to see starts for aina ake rlc chalobah zouma and batshuyai, a good performamce from all, come on !

Yea, this is not a tie to fool around with, for example making wholesale changes. We saw what happened to Liverpool

Yep, look at the score with Liverpool now.

Chelsea team today: Begovic; Zouma, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Pedro, Chalobah, Fabregas, Ake; Willian, Batshuayi, Loftus-Cheek.

Chelsea substitutes v @BrentfordFC: Eduardo, Ivanovic, Moses, Matic, Kenedy, Hazard, Diego Costa.

Good starting lineup, I'm sure boys will do the job!

Disappointed not to see Aina on the bench. 

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!

Imagine they go out today. That would mean we can pretty much end their season next week. I'd love that!
