Another hopeless team so surely a return  to winning ways right?

1-3 

Oh no. Well they do have a history of kicking us when we are down resulting in the sacking of our managers. So well.....

Tibo

Azpi Andreas (hope he is back) Rudi

moses kante drinkwater palmeiri

willian giroud hazard

I hope we never play the false 9 again. Please. Also lets hope we dont have to see much of cesc/pedro again. 

Doesn't matter how, why, when or where. We MUST win this game, this game should be played firstly towards the fans, secondly, if we still dreaming about beating Barcelona then we have to prepare ourselves for the best.

I believe Conte will stay in charge for these games, he admitted that he made a mistake by choosing the last XI, I believe he found the mistakes and going to fix them. It's not easy to put a top performance after 2 games that we have to forget. 

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

------------- Courtois -------------

-- Azpilicueta - Christensen - Rudiger -

Moses - Drinkwater - Kante - Marcos Alonso/ Emerson 

--- Willian ----- Giroud/ Callum Hodson - Hazard -

 

Players like Pedro, Fabregas, Cahill should be dropped immediately! 

COME ON CHELS!!

I'm interested to see what formation and players people think would make up our strongest matchday squad?

 

Think of it at the start of next season so everyone except Musonda is available. Starting 11 and subs. 

For me:

Courtois

Azpi  Andreas  Rudiger  Emerson

Kante

Cesc        Drinkwater

Willian          Morata           Eden

 

Subs: Willy / Cahill / Moses / Alonso / Ampadu / Batshuayi / CHO

Tibo

Dave Christensen Rudiger

Moses Kante Ampudu Palmeri

Willian Giroud Hazard

we are pants so don't care anymore 

 

I think Conte was correct when he said we need a few top class players now that we've strengthened the squad. Cahill, Cesc and Pedro are moving beyond their peak and Luiz and Willian will not be too far behind. I'm happy with the back line, maybe one more buy and Zouma to come back, although I don't know how he's doing at Stoke. Midfield and upfront is where we need new blood, a speedy winger and a top midfielder would help.

imo we need someone to match Hazard's creative output up top. Willian and Pedro have been good over the years but never enough of a threat.

Courtois

Azpi  Christiensen Rudiger Emerson

Kante Milinkovic-Savic Meyer

Malcom Morata Hazard

Cabellero, alonso, ampadu, rlc, fabregas, Willian, giroud.

edit switched Seri for max Meyer who is available on a free transfer. It would be great buisness.

Got to get rid of Baka, Drink, Cahill, Luiz, Cesc, Pedro, (and zappa and Alonso, they cant play in a 4-3-3.)

Replace them with strong players who are comfortable on the ball under pressure and redistribute without losing the ball. Fill the squad with them. As soon as it's obvious we bought a dud, get rid. Even the creative players get cut no slack, they must be strong and comfortable on the ball under pressure.

aww bless @coco 8 first team replacements of a high standard.  Yep, good luck with that.  AND, if everyone in the Hazard thread is to be believed,Eden and Tibo are gone too! - Poor old Willian, getting on in years and the mainstay of the team

It's a bloody disgrace, it's took basically three transfer windows to demolish our credibility.

10 replacements then, get it done, with Eden and Tibo bringing in £200m, the rest of them £100m, thats £300m, plus Roman can chip in from his pocket for buying such sh*te players, say £50m.

So £350m on 5 new players (average £70m each) and 5 or 6 of our youngsters, Ampadu, CHO, RLC, Tammy, Sterling,......

Or are we to sit here for the next 5 years waiting for contracts to run out, watching dire football, and watching us go backwards ?

...waiting for the builders to move in, while we ground share with Fulham and fail to sell out every game....

Guys and gals. However will we cope with baka suspended?!

We have to start the new recruits. Have to. Nothing else is working. And change our formation for f**k sake 

Who cares...if the bin dippers can't beat this shower at home then there's no reason to suggest we will get anywhere close to a result either.

West Brom outplayed Liverpool in the FA Cup round. Not even a parked bus, they played tiki taka and dismantled lvpool. Our players aren't suddenly going to learn how to beat the press in a week I'm nervous for this one. Unless Conte actually changes the team up radically and starts Emerson/Giroud/Callum to try something different. I expect 3-4-3 though. 

1-1

If Ampadu doesn't start, I'm going to bang my head against a wall, this kid has got it.
