Chelsea subs: Eduardo, Clarke-Salter, Sterling, Bakayoko, Hazard, Hudson-Odoi, Morata

Well, PL matches are coming and Alonso gets rest only in this tournament. We must rotate him more often so that means it's crucial for the team tonight Kenedy's performance so we can use him in PL as well. Because, TBH, I really don't believe in Alonso's ability to make this run without a single minute off. Because this is what happens as far as Ive read the signs from Antonio. 

What the hell is that team? Hasn't Conte learned from last year's debacle at Wet Spam? Jeez...someone have a word with him and put him straight...

So no Kante, christensen, azbi, Moses, Alonso, courtois in the squad.

Hold on, I'm calling him. 

This will be a tricky game I think

Well... On paper with the team we have we should still win this confortably, but seeing as they have no experience playing together it’ll be real tough

COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Hold on, I'm calling him. 

Tell him that we would like to win this trophy [emoji471] please...

what’s with Musonda?!

It interests me that Fab is in there pulling the strings. Danny will have to work very hard.

Poor fella. He needs game time, but happy with Ampadu!

Yeah but playing as a CB? What the hell is that?

Caballero; Rudiger, Ampadu, Cahill (c); Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Fabregas, Kenedy; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro

I thought we had seen the last of Fabregas in a midfield two, yet again it surfaces.

Brave selection by Conte, hope it comes off.

 

Would much rather see Ampadu in CM. He looked dodgy when he came on at CB the other week.

Didn't he play CB last time he came on?

Think Conte has had a frigging stroke...this has got all the makings of a disaster written all over it...should have started with a beer full strength team and taken players off when the game has been won...

Yep and he looked completely out of position...he's a midfielder for Christ sake...

I think he had no choice but to sit this game out. I think he's suspended for picking up 5 yellow cards.

That's the other way of looking at it!

ampadu is a centres back. He plays the vast majority of his games there.
