Does make you wonder though, last season we had the best disciplinary record of any club and now we've had 4 red cards in 3 games.

We were a team coming off tenth who were expected to threaten no one. Refs usually treat us normally when we aren't threatening. Historically once we've won the league we suddenly get an influx of sh*te refs.

I wouldn't be surprised if Baker is gone by this time next week and no way could we play Boga alongside Kante, Tottenham will destroy us. 2 small players up against Wanyama and Dembele ? that is crazy. Luiz will have to play in midfield, just to give us a physical presence in there.

Is Boga Small?? I thought he is one fit fecker......  1.72 height ( Dembele 1.82) and body build he looks tough as hell....  Anyways don't really know man.  I just hope the manager makes the best decision to get is going and get us a good performance.  Let's hope Morata is firing on all cylinders

Morata showed more intelligence and off the ball running in 30 mins than Batshuayi has shown his whole chelsea career. It is easy to mark a stationary striker who just wants the ball played to feet. We need a 3rd striker with a brain

agree with that but I think we need a midfield and a left back more urgently

If we win with the squad we will have available, it will be a big, big result.

I don't want to be on zero points from two games though....

Seems odd to say after yesterday, but I can't wait for the Spurs match. Hopefully a big away crowd and we can get into them.

Luiz into midfield where he has been great for us. 

Tibo, Dave, Rudiger (how good is his passing range) Christensen, Moses, Alonso, Luiz, Kante (pretty much 11 v 11 despite the send off yesterday with him on the pitch), Willian, Boga and Morata.

Bench: Caballero, ?, ?, ?, ?, Musonda, Batshuayi.

Yeah spurs...many players out, going to be a long 90 minutes I feel. 

Most likely result is a loss. As much as I hate to say it.  Rough start 

I know it's negative but I can't see anything but a loss and possibly a heavy one.

we just don't have the personnel at the moment. Crazy we let matic go when we knew we only had fabregas and Kante available for the start. With bakayoko still recovering.

Board must be pleased the way they've done their dealings.

you cant win the league in august but a second defeat and the title will be gone

Like last year?

We can have this Spurs team - they look extremely ordinary.

We just need to buck our ideas up.

As long as he don't let Erikkson cross for Ali between our centre backs yet again.

Maybe Dave the utility man is our next partner for kante. 

Against Demele and Wanyama Dave might get outmuscled, Luiz for me.

Ugh wish this match wasn't so soon. Need a solid game from our back three!

The team chooses itself

tibo

dave Andreas rudiger 

Moses luiz kante alonso

willian morata boga

subs: willy, tomori, clarke-salter, musonda, batshuayi, Scott, ?

lol, we literally don't have enough players for subs. Unbelievable. Well done board

That bench is comical.

Kane got away from a red card on a really nasty challenge. Refs are always biased against Chelsea but loves Arsenal, Tottenham and Man Utd.

? - We've still got Remy don't we 

Excluding Jose's last few month's, i haven't felt this helpless going into a game since we headed to Anfield under Scolari. A result in this one will be akin to a cup shock with the team we are putting out.

Yep a win will be pretty amazing given out team.

its the boards fault for this you don't sell and loan players out without making sure you have replacements on hand.

crazy start to the season
