Must get the 3 points, like I said before there's no point resting players for the Atletico, we could win the group and still get Madrid in the next round. We need to play faster against an organised defence, something I believe Newcastle will offer. Let's hope Hazard comes in and give us what we missed in the last game.

We really need another LB, Alonso will be shattered by the end of the christmas period.

Strong team, good. Alonso is already looking tired and that shows in how poor his finishes have been lately. 

I like that line up a lot, DD deserved to start ahead of Baka for me so that was a good call.

Team perfect today !! we must win

That looks like a strong team to me.

good team. interesting midfield. come on blues. 

Like the look of that team.

Lets kick the weekend off in style with a convincing win!!

Luiz not in the squad.

 

Love the look of the team though.

Hope Baka and Bats have the right reaction from the bench.

He is struggling with his knee apparently.

Like the lineup but I hope Alonso, Fab and Morata get an early Mark. I look forward to seeing Danny really working with Kante and Fab and I hope Moses starts to play himself back into form. Nice to see batman on the bench. 

Willian could have played I instead of Danny or Fab.

This is our first team!! Great line-up! Come on you Chels!!!!

Team looks good.

hope Moses will be ok as he looked pretty shocking in parts when he came on.

Agree with you on that.

On current form, i think this is our strongest 11 starting.

Great to see Drinkwater start. I have a feeling he is going to have a cracking game

possibly, in this formation. Although I'd say Willian is in better form than drinkwater, so our most in form team would probably 343 with him involved.

I agree, technically we can rotate him with Kenedy but Conte just doesn't trust him apart from early cup games. I tihnk Azpi will play LWB sooner than him.

Alonso just needs to survive till January and hopefully we will sign one then.

Is Alonso our only outfield player that has started every league match this season? 

Got an American stream and the NBC analysts genuinely just questioned whether Kante is at the same level as he was for Leicester. Don't know what more he can do after winning the PFA player of the year and completely reversing our performances since his return from injury, baffling

He's arguably more important to us than Hazard in my opinion.

It's amazing how clueless some people can make themselves look by saying just a few words.
