just to cheer everyone up Mourinho is saving his "big guns" for Sunday.... 

Not too confident with this line up. If Roma pressure is, which I'm sure they will, we're in trouble.

Cahill, Dave as WB, Baka - Cesc, Alonso no resting again... god damn, couldn't get any worse. 

Yeah not very confident with that team. We need a big performance from Baka and Fab, we can't take any passengers tonight.

 

COME ON CHELSEA!!!!

so f**king jammy utd are this season. easy early league fixtures, easy champs league group, first proper test (vs spurs) the opponents had their best player missing. 

Kante not even on the bench.

Weird,

slightly more worried now 

Again Kante - Bakayoko.... I'm worried about this.

 

With that lineup we will get  smashed. Conte is really not learning from his mistakes.

Good Evening Gents, sorry the first post isn't going to be hyper positive: Firstly disappointment at Kante not even on the bench, secondly, cesc in a 2 man mid and Cahill at CB, as much as I appreciate Antonio's abilities, seems like he hasn't learned, really disappointing line-up, so much so that I was compelled to sign up and whine about it.

And then United will be the first to complain about the fixture. GTFOH

Cus Kante is injured?

But Conte said Kante was fit and had recovered from injury a matter of days ago. Conte is playing sillly buggers.

Why does conte repeat the same mistakes?

A lot of negativity here... Lets just see how it goes.

Pity Kante's out but I'm sure Cesc will step up and put the shift in needed. Bakayoko's gradually getting into the swing of things for us too and we'll need him at his best to compete with this Roma midfield.

Cahill back in was obvious, and the right call in my opinion, we need the leaders and big characters on the pitch. 

Confident we can take at least a point tonight, strong 11, Willian and Batshuayi can stretch and threaten a tired opposition off the bench and we have defensive options if we need to tighten up. Buzzing for this one, love Champions League nights.

Hazard/Mo/Pedro need to do their jobs upfront cuz we are conceding tonight

Calm down lads. This is a better balanced line up. Kolarov dominated us down the left but he will have to worry about pedro this time around.  I have faith in Conte. We will win this juist watch

We're gonna win 6-5

Blimey the games not even KO and people have written off the team's chances

Unfortunately cant watch live so wont have the pleasure of seeing the thread unfold and the frenzy of posts should the doom and gloom come to fruition

Gonna try and watch after work before I dress up as Punch for a special Halloween trick or treat double act with the missus (FFS - punters over here to a man do not know what a Punch & Judy show is bloody colonials), remember a draw will do a win and its a green light to the round of 16.

How many defenders are we playing? lol think 5

We can still win but god save me the torture of watching Cesc struggle and us getting dominated

nobody knows what will happen. not the ideal line up, but let's wait to see what happens. 

If Eden and Morata turn up with Pedro, we will win imo. baka needs to step up however, esp with Cesc playing 

I hope Conte proves me wrong but I do not like the line up. It’s Fab in a middle two that worries me about being dominated. Good defending and a bit of luck will hopefully get something out of this match

Hope this will be a good one. There were glaring mistakes when we first faced Roma.

Win tonight and we are as good as qualified. Don't give up just yet.
