Mind numbing    

Cahill has been sh*te since the end of last season, club captain or not he should not even be considered for the bench. Far to slow, can't turn...should be in the lower leagues alongside JT.  Yes we have some injuries and perhaps injuries that we as fans are not aware of......but come on this is f**king ridiculous.

f**king hell I was sure Giroud would start. Let's hope Hazard turns up tonight

Tonight the false 9 will work wonders and were all going to be thinking maybe it's not such a bad idea. When the three of them are on it, they are a defenders worse nightmare, just need to make sure we finish.

We need to hope that they are all on it.

Baka and Pedro should not be starting tonight. Just risk Giroud and actually play with a striker. 

And have him join barkley in the injury room. NO THANK YOU

Why? Isn't he fit?

he as if Conte has given up at this point, he completely swapped our formation at the first sign of trouble last season and now he's just playing the the same players even know we are playing worse now.

I just think this game is too important not to win, not only for points but confidence. 

Hopefully I'm wrong and he's not needed though. 

I sure do love these defensive lineups when we're playing against relegation fodder.

 Giroud played against Swansea and that was recently. Why is he on the bench? Conte throws Barkley on against Arsenal in an important Cup SEmi Final and he hadn't played for 7-8 months. That was insanity.

Conte says he was injured for 30 days with a muscle injury and made his comeback in those little minutes for Arsenal before the trade

He might be needed that is why he is on the bench. He just isnt fit to start and shudnt be risked especially with Weak back (soft ass) Morata

This feels like a watershed moment - the team selection leaves no room for error.

If the players bottle it or down tools Antonio is out. 

Not to mention Watford likely giving everything they've got, desperate for points.

Giroud was just comeback from injury in the swansea game. He had been out for 30 days. Besides we have subs for Barkley Giroud on the other hand might be our only striker unless Morata grows a backbone

Musonda had decent cameos but was shipped out on loan in favor of Barkley who is rustier than the Titanic to play against le Arse.

The whole club is nuts.

loving the positivity, although not entirely sure it's sincere....

Disappointed with the lineup, nothing positive, same players. Starting to remind the situation with Ivanovic, Fabregas and Costa under Jose. 

Just don't get it why we buy players and keep them on the bench, we bought Emerson to replace Alonso? Why put Moses left?

Anyways, I just hope we will put a good performance for our own respect. COME ON CHELS!!!

1 nil away win.......................I think

Cant shake feeling we should be named chelsea hospital since we cant start neither one of many transfers OR conte just doesnt want to keep the job and wants fans to kill him. Play giroud play odoi just change something please

Sincerely positive,.......... and a little drunk.

I know there was a few posters that said conte wanted drinkwater, but I honestly don't see it. He doesn't seem to get in ahead of bakayoko who has been pretty shocking.
