why Bakayoko and Kante? 

This video is bang on the money surrounding the problems at Chelsea FC. It's exactly as  I see it too. Worth watching.

Giroud is on the bench tonight, should have started

Are you in the know or are you making things up? The rest of us have to wait an hour before the match to see the team sheets...

Sad tonight's match at Watford appears so pivotal for so many reasons. But nonetheless, here we are. My cynical side says Hazard will have hurt himself getting on the bus, Willian will have strained his hamstring rolling over on the bed this morning, Giroud will have put on 10 extra pounds in a week and not be match fit and Courtois sprained an ankle playing basketball and our XI will just be trash. Hopefully not.

This match just has trouble written all over it. Interestingly all of our recent loanees seem to be off to nice starts. Not saying we need Batshuayi, Kenedy, etc back right now, more that I am curious if they are allowed to play with more freedom and less stress, which is why they have started well. I also realize Batshuayi played against the worst defense in the Bundesliga.

Oh, well, which ever XI show up for the Chels, I support and hope they are focused tonight.

Come on you Chelsea!!

We should ahve beem losing 4-1 the last time we played them before we equalised and went on to win.

They missed some serious sitters at the Bridge a few months ago.

I wouldnt write them off anyway at all but its one of the most win games for me, a bit of confidence going into the most difficult period of playing Barca and Utd away would be ideal.

You forgot to mention that we are specialists in giving new managers their first three points...

Feels like this game is once more bigger than it should be.

This is one of those games where we are at our first turning point of the season. This will be a big psychological test. If we step up now then great, if we crumble under the pressure then we could be in trouble. I will be watching and I hope we smash them 3-0

Actually I kind of feel it is our second turning point. I thought the first was jettisoning 3-5-2.

if he plays the false 9 tonight

He's gone on loan to Dortmund mate.

We need to go back to a back 4 now 4-2-3-1, the 3-4-3 is getting exposed, everyone can see it, hopefully Conte does too.

Hmm well I can't say I'm too shocked with that squad, intrigues me how our new signings always start from the bench these days.

I turned this off when he suggested David Luiz should be captain.

No leaders on the pitch? Dave? Cahil? Pedro?

Deffiantly think Rudiger deserves a start over Cahill.

Bakayoko?

He must have a video of Antonio shagging a donkey or something. How does he keep getting picked after recent performances

Pedro starting again, how?? why?? Please

Maybe Conte thinks keep Luiz and Cahill together, until Andreas returns.

Wow that line up, am sorry but if he's going to be this stubborn and not change, unfortunately I see one outcome. I love the guy his passion his antic's but this is just showing me either he wants to be sacked or he's kinda losing it. If something isn't working change it, what did Einstein say about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Where's Careless Whisper? 

would feel more comfortable with cahill on the bench, especially after seeing our win percentage when he starts this season. 

Fingers crossed  we get 3 points. 

Lord give me strength Cahill bakaf**kingjoko and the false 9...
