I could care less about the result. I just want no injuries and no f**king red cards unless Cahill wants to be a sweet heart and do either

Yeah, and I could care less about the League and Champions League, but I don't think I will.  

I think either Scott or Ampadu will get some game time, Ampadu has trained with the first team. Would be a big deal to make his debut at 17, clearly very talented.

Conte has said in this presser that Musonda can play as a number 10, a winger or wing back. 

 

I think i'll cry if i ever see this lad wasted as a wing back.

Conte was probably paying tribute to Musonda's versatility. If needed, he could rely upon him in that position.

Actually hoping to see Morata start this. I understand the logic in rotating him out, but I see this as an ideal game for him to be involved in.

He's scored and setup a few so far, but he's not looked properly in-sync with the team nor totally comfortable with the physicality of the league (yet). That'll come with time on the pitch, and tomorrow night might be a very beneficial test for him. 

I was so annoyed by Fabregas last weekend and each time i see you guys suggesting him I am frowning!  I know it's wrong and maybe he should just actually play this game so that he needs rest for the EPL game away to stoke next weekend.  Hope to see new faces on the pitch and these new faces to actually play 90 mins!

I'll be excited to see Kenedy play. It's not a popular opinion but I think he is capable of playing a significant part this season and in the future if he learnt from his off-field mistake. He's got everything he needs on it

He made a bit of a prat of himself, but we all say/do silly things.  It could have been worse, he could have been pulled over after one too many grandma's cough mixtures with some tart in his car :laugh2:

Now you are just reinforcing the view that most people have of you that you are a total prick.  Wishing injury on one of our own players, FFS.  What sort of w**ker are you?  We don't need supporters like you.

Daeeem Cowboy. Guess you have never heard of HYPERBOLE.  I am not gonna call you a prick or stoop to your level of insults. Take a chill peel bro

He's young and did something daft, but it was nowhere near as bad as the media made it out to be. I actually felt sorry for him.

But on the flip side, if he furfils his potential that's another massive danger in attacking situation's. Can't see him being there full time but he could be our Sane in the sense of occasionally it could be an option.

I don't want us to lose but there would be a minor silver lining if we did. As it stands Watford at home is on Monday after Roma in the CL, if we go through the game will be moved to Saturday.

I dont want us to lose. This will be my team. In  hindsight with injuries to DAnny, Baba and Pedro along with a missing Diego we barely have 20 players !!!! 

Caballero

Rudiger - Andreas - Gary

Zappa - Cesc - Bakayoko- Kennedy

Willian - Batshuayi - Charly

 

 

Given top teams seem to have worked out our system and buildup play it'll be interesting to see if Conte uses this match to experiment with some different approaches as well as different players.

Can't complain about that. I think Forest may surprise and come out swinging so Cesc could be in for a match but with any luck we'll be up a few toward the end and JCS or Sterling can get a run out 

Back in the day Chelsea v. Forest produced some cracking matches. Forest are a shadow of their former selves but it is nice to be hosting them at the bridge again tomorrow. Hopefully a decent game and we can make it into the next round while resting a few first teamers. Hoping to see a few younger players get a chance too. Ampadu is a decent shout for the bench. Talking of youngsters I think Michael Mancienne plays for Forest now. I remember him being rated as a youth prospect here once.

That's not hyperbole, BRO.  That is some w**ker wishing injury on our own club captain. You are a f**king disgrace.  That's all.

Blimey, we've got all these fantastic prospects we rave about coming through our academy who we see playing for the youth team and now there's a chance a player no-one has ever heard of might get a shout?!!

What about that 15 year old wonder kid Billy Gilmour we signed from Scotland a while back? Throw him in too!!

Bar Cahill, I don't want any of the players that started on Sunday to start. We need to be as fresh as possible for our upcoming 3 games against Stoke/Atletico/City. These are our big games and squad rotation is key.

 

Cab

Rudiger Christensen Cahill

Zappa Bakayoko Scott Kennedy

Musonda Bats Hazard

 

This should still be good enough to win this game comfortably. Give Hazard 60-70 mins and hopefully Bats to score and play well. We need another striker firing in case Morata gets injured or loses form.

 

4-0 Hazard, Bats 2, Kennedy.
