If we can't beat a championship side and score a few goals at home then we are in trouble 

I think we in trouble anyway! Way too many average players in the team atm. A combination of missing out on good transfers, danilo, walker, Mendy, aurier etc and letting far too many of good players Go, you all know the ones I'm speaking of. This results is players like Moses playing week in week out. Dont get me wrong he has a great engine but he has awful technique, cant cross or shoot. And this is replicated across the pitch atm. Bad signs for Chelsea the transfers have to get better, and quicker. Wheres the ambition? Yes we won the league with Moses etc but thats not enough. The aim should always be assault Europe and win a few leagues. You can't do that players as sub par as Moses, bakayoko and the rest of the sh*tbags 

sh*tbags ? Are you really a Chelsea SUPPORTER ?

If we cannot try something new and positive against Norwich at home then I have no idea when we can try?  I am hoping for a refreshed side - key word "hoping"!  

                   Willy

Zapacosta   Rudiger    Luiz      Kennedy

          Ampadu         Drinkwater

                     Barkley

Musonda         Pedro       Willian

I dont mind Bats starting as well.  Just hope to see Musonda and Barkley!

About a 48 hours turn around for the league game against Brighton, I'd send Kante/Hazard/Morata etc to bed before kick off. I'd start Masouda, Kennedy, Luiz, Ampadu etc, go score some f* goals even it ends up 4:5

Yes I love Chelsea, that doesn't mean I have to like below average players. It's not like they are on bad wages, these guys are paid millions and alot of them are not up to scratch. 

anybody else actually going to this game?

Musonda and Barkley would be good but maybe more than who is playing I want to see us playing 4-3-3

It's the perfect game for see Hudson-Odoi for the first time !! YES he is better than Musonda and from afar. Only 17, but very impressive for his age.

Yes

Play all the kids you can find and don't let our Stars near the stadium.

is barkley fit for this?

i think i wud play morata in this one... he need some goals to get his confidence back..

Hopefully we start at a high tempo and get off to a good start. That I am sure will give us confidence. Again hope we play well and win.

Not sure, but we didn't sign him in time apparently, so can't play anyway.

I like to see Luiz. Miss his creative play and long passes. He can for sure also put the ball in the net.

His distribution from the back is overlooked by so many, we can't keep the pressure on teams like we used to without him on the side, no defender can dictate the play better than him. 

The quicker he gets back the better. 

Sounds like Bats to start. Id like him to play alongside Morata

I would take the clean sheets over the absolutely mind numbing shambles we were at the start of the season with luiz in the mid.

We need to sort out our midfield/creativity issues instead of playing a defender that cant defend so that he can provide us a creative impetus. Luiz is and should be our 5th choice CB. 

                        Willy

zapp Rudiger Ampadu Kennedy 

                Drinkwater

                Willian Luiz

Pedro.       Bats.       Musonda

Imo we only need one holding midfielder

How about a nice 3 clean sheets and zero goals? Ring any bells? 

Have we just suddenly forgot how good Luiz was? Defensively & offensively he was arguably the best CB in the league last year. 

And now we're going to assume that Luiz is a liability at the back despite being solid as a rock last season? are we also going to hold Azpilicueta accountable who went through a pretty rough patch at the start of the season? And Azpilicueta is one of the most consistent players I've ever seen. It happens, our organisation was all over the place, Roma game was a fine example, plenty of injuries in a fragile system, Fabregas in a pivot is a disaster waiting to happen but we had no choice. 

Get Luiz back and play Christensen in the side.

Don't see why we can't play Luiz with Christensen at the back.. I know they both play the centre of the back 3 but Christensen has the pace and positional awareness to play one of the other two positions.

We missed the deadline to register him for the FA Cup, by a matter of hours supposedly. So he would only be available for the other competitions.

oh dear...wud have been the perfect competition for him to get used to us..

He’s (RB) only ineligible for this round of the FA Cup, IF we progress tomorrow he’s able to play in the next round 

expect another tight game, at least the tie will be settled one way or another 

Ampadu & Bats to start, expect big Willy in goal and hopefully little Willy & Pedro and we play 4-3-3 

 

 

Not sure on this tbh. Cagey win
