I really hope we can get our game back on board. We've been terrible, drawing constantly and a lack of frontal assault weapons.

This game will decide if me or my dad will bother paying to watch any more Chelsea games on TV, with the games being so awful I see no reason to pay to watch when I can go down the local park and see better.

120 minutes in mid-week, injuries, suspensions, struggling to score. Doesn't bode well.

 

Brighton 3-7 Chelsea

I can foot the bullet cost, if need be.

We need a good striker asap. If we carry on as we have we will just tumble down the table. Crouch and Carrol don't fill me full of confidence. Why aren't we bidding for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ? He's available but we are not trying to buy him? We will turn into Arsenal at this rate. Abromovic and the board need to hang their heads in shame. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Want Barkley to start.

Give us somthing different to the trying and testing.

Based on Conte's interview I don't think he will start. But I hope Conte will give him some minutes to start the integraation to the team process.

Come on Chelsea give us something to cheer about like a few goals a good solid display and 3pts...oh well one can always dream...KTBFFH!!!

Can't see a positive result with Bats and Bakayoko starting.

I like this squad. As much as Bakayoko has been dissapointing, he is a tad less disappointing in a midfield 2. Hmm batman finally starts. Expecting to see barkely today 

Barkley on the bench 

Chelsea team: Caballero; Azpilicueta (c), Christensen, Rudiger; Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Hazard.

 

 

Bakayoko yet again.

Let's get behind the team during this difficult patch.

Baka is far more suited to the 2 in midfield where he can play short simple passes to recycle possession rather than the three where he is often the outball and required to create or shoot. I was impressed with him on Wednesday in this role (still wouldn't describe myself as a fan by any means)

That said, if we do persist with a three, Luiz could be used more in this role in the second half of the season. He passes well and has a good long shot. Rafa and later Jose showed that he can be used to good effect there.

Baka wasn't really great on Wednesday against a championship side, I know you are comparing against sh*t performances so maybe that's the expected level for a 40m player.

Ok, I'm done with Conte. 90 minutes of garbage vs Leicester, 120 minute of trash vs Norwich, these two giants of football, and for reward he gets another 90 minute, because he wont change him, that's for sure. I can't stand this guy Bakayoko, I really cant. What has he done to play, how did he earn his place, tell me, why didn't the stupid media ask him, why don't they put him on pressure. This guy is a complete mess and he is starting fourth in a row, come on man, it's not acceptable. There must be some accountability in this club.

Do you have another striker or midfielder to play in their roles, regarding today’s match?

Mmm, Luiz, Barkley, Ampadu... why not. They ain't worse than this... I don't wanna even say. 

would've liked to have seen Hudson odoi on the bench. 

Also surprised kenedy isn't on the bench. 

We should be winning this. Anything other than 3 points will be a disaster. Liverpool smashed these with 2 midfielders at centre back.

I'd play Luiz in midfield before Bakayoko. He can pick a pass and drives forward, things bakayoko is horrendous at. He also can sit and track his man...more things Baka can't do. 

In any case I said I can't see us getting a positive result, I didn't say anything about picking different players

 Barkley in midfield and Alonso upfront.Conte needs to be bold because his cautious, defensive team sheets ain't working.

Before the line-up was announced the BBC had Barkley as doubtful, though not sure why.

The bench looks interesting no doubt only because of the dire situation just now yet, it is times like this when you sometimes discover a new talent or a new combination that works.

Finger crossed.
