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

I have a really bad headache.

So disappointed in Contes team selection. 

Pedro shouldn't be anywhere where the starting XI. Fabregas has been poor for a good two months or so but with Giroud starting, he's probably a better option than Drinkwater to open things up for him.

wingbacks a concern again, hate this shoehorning players into positions they arent familliar with.

 

Back 3 im happy with and the midfield. Cesc should be ok tonight as West Brom's centre mids have no pace either.  

 

Sturridge rondon is a good front 2 though, and i think Brunt is decent tbh that is a concern too

Let's see what else is on the telly tonight: the reality show of an obese family sounds like the go-to programme if tonight's match turns out as bad as last week's 

Not hopeful that Giroud will get any crosses from Moses or Zappa.

No youngsters again, same old journey men, glad I sent my tickets back to the club, 2-2 if we're lucky, won't bother wasting my Monday night watching sky.

The 3-4-3 formation hurts my soul because the midfield will always lack something because Conte opts for a midfield 2. 

1) Either it's Kante + Fabregas, where Fabregas' lack of mobility hurts us. Or..

2) Kante + Bakayoko, where neither of them possess the creativity necessary to help the team connect the ball from defense to the attack. 

Taking out one of our 5 f*cking defenders and going for a 4-3-3 so that we could have a balanced midfield would be ideal, but obviously Conte won't ever do that.

Zappacosta on the left side? Sigh.. 

The back 3 I like, but Drinkwater has to be the most pointless signing we've ever had, if he's not going to play now when is he ever going to play? 

I really can't stop scratching my head at the decisions made this season. 

If I remember right Pardew has a good record against us, 2 managers sacked in recent times after playing West brom, as private Fraser would say "we're all doomed"

any got a working link?

Strange, Fabregas has not worked all season in a midfield two and Pedro has not been the best recently.

Feels ominous, though hope I am wrong.

Have no problems with the XI apart from pedro,hes been terrible

It would be very scary if Conte was to be sacked and all of our "injured" players were fine the next game. 

Sturridge and Rondon starting for West Brom with Sturridge yet to score for his new club. Let's hope he has a nightmare tonight.

You just know Sturridge gonna bang one in

I predict 3-0 to Chelsea

my thoughts also

So we bought a Left Wing Back but don't play him when the other LWB is injured...on paper this team selection has me once again scratching my head...where's Ampudu and Hodson Odoi...?

Each Chelsea player just needs to do their job. Enough of this sh*t.

Sign a backup LB and he still don't play, Conte trying to make another point to the board.

another player signed who was injured

before the game starts kante and fab together good or bad, I go bad

West brom packing the midfield iam very worried right now...

Fit enough for the bench though...how many fecking managers do we need to go through till we find one who has the bollocks to play some of our serial trophy winning youngsters... 

Is it over yet?
