Have you cloned Luiz ?

ffs. Meant to put Christensen in the back line! However, two David Luiz' wouldn't be a bad thing.

Courtois

Azpi   Christensen   Rudiger

Moses   Kante   Luiz   Bakayoko   Alonso

Batshuayi   Morata

 

Davies and Gueye are so energetic in the middle for them i'd stick another body in there to stop them. I'd also be tempted to try out Batshuayi and Morata together and see if that can work. If not i'd rather see Pedro up with Morata instead of Willian if he's fit.

 

We are playing Everton at the bridge so I will be pissed off to see Luiz in our midfield. They ain't Real Madrid!

Courtois

Azpi   Luiz   Rudiger

  Moses   Kante  Bakayoko   Alonso

Willian       Pedro

Morata

really important game win and we go into  the break in good shape but lose or draw and the crisis stories will begin again

Do you want to bet a million dollars that Cahill doest play..   WINK WINK

I forgot the suspension of course

I think Rudiger played on the left of a back three with Germany U21s...I just hope either he or Christensen grab the chance to displace Cahill from the defence..

For once I actually agree with you. Cahill is our weak link for sure.

 

I'm glad that Everton have to play in Croatia tonight, hopefully they will be a little tired coming into the game.

 

I Think Fabregas will be at his best and bring the best out of Morata playing in front of Baka and Kante not as much defensive emphasis on him.

Can't believe the amount of tickets on the exchange. This is a game no one can say they couldn't a ticket. There are singles and pairs all round the stadium, even the family section. All at face value, Surely it can't be down to one game against Burnley.

I imagine quite a few people forgot it was BH weekend.

I just realized that Everton will have played 2 matches while CFC has only trained - CFC should be the fresher side - I have a warm & fuzzy feeling for this match

Just went on there now. It says no tickets available.

Amazing! If you had seen the list yesterday, it was amazing. Glad it will be full.

Expecting a 2 nil win for us...

Hope Morata scores a brace to gain some momentum...

It may not be the absolute dismantling it was last season but the boys should win this. 3-1 with Bats scoring a late 3rd.

Acc your right. On look in morning, there is a whole list of tickets available. Still expect it to a good turnout.

I know this is off topic but Chelsea should really invest in a strong defensive midfielder in the transfer window. David luiz performance was excellent against spurs and freed up kante to do his thing and also Baka. I dont think Even Matic was  as strong last season in protecting the space infront of the defenders. Christenesen had a good game and it was in large part due to Davids contribution. I say we get a strong DM or buy vvd and put luiz in midfield. Heck he has been playing midfieeld since he has been recalled by Brazil..

 

Just a thought i had to get out of my head KTBFFH

Hazard is scheduled to play for U23s tonight against Eversh*te so maybe we won't see him on Sunday at all...just as long as that idiot Martinez doesn't expect him to play in either of their Mickey Mouse internationals...

Ahh come on now!!!  What the f**k is this sh*t!  The guy hasn't played a single game all season and he calls him up!  It's only Gibraltor and Greece for crying out loud!   I really hope Hazard doesn't pass fit please.  Sickening from Martinez!!!

so Martinez said this an hour before Conte's press conference:  "We have a good and open relationship with Chelsea. I don't force any players. We need Eden as a player and a human."

Then Conte comes out with: "I knew the news just 20 mins ago, I am a bit surprised about this decision." 

Some relationship when you let the club know 20 minutes and clearly don't engage with them!

 

Wtf? Martinez is taking the piss surely. Belgium has other attacking players that they can experiment on. No need to bring a half fit Hazard when he's just getting up to speed.

You have choices of Carrasco, Musonda, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Michy, Benteke, Thorgan, Mertens among others. Try someone new ffs

will hopefully see

 

                 courtois

 

     Dave  Christensen    Rudiger

Moses   Kante    Luiz      Alonso

    Willian   Morata      Pedro

I'd have Luiz back in defense!  Bakayoko looks the part and should start beside Kante!!
