Time for a change of the old guard...

Tibo 

Dave Christensen Rudiger 

Moses Kante Ampudu Palmeiri

Hudson Odoi Giroud Hazard 

I'm not stopping until this becomes an official chant:

To the tune of Electric Avenue
 

"Down on the pitch, there's the defense
There's lots of work to be done
In the centre with dreadlocks
Is our Welsh Wonder Son

We've got a rock at the back, it's Ethan Ampadu
And then he'll kick it higher
We've got a rock at the back, it's Ethan Ampadu
And then he'll kick it higher

Tom, Tom, Tom. You need to take this. You need to push it all the way down. Deep, deep inside. Settle it right down next to your hopes of signing Sandro. Pretend it never happened. Move on. Open the curtains. Go for walk.  Start to enjoy life again.

I’m going to the game, I’ve got the right day this time. Don’t care who plays, let’s get behind Antonio and the lads and get a good atmosphere going!

I'm hoping for a decent effort from the team otherwise I can't help but feel the West Brom curse will rear it's head again.

ONe of the quickest responses to any of the questions Conte received today was when talking about Morata.  I'm obviously assuming here, but Conte doesn't look impressed with the "situation"

 

What was the change in formation Antonio refers to? Enjoyed the reaction of the press.

I can't! I AM LOST! 

Why are we playing on monday night again ??

It's not enough misery alone to get our worst back to back results this century, without getting them on back to back MNF fixtures.

Perfect time for those wanting to get an early night due to an early start the next morn. Chelsea are guaranteed to put you to sleep.

So we can actually have a full week between games for the first time in ages!

Its giving Antonio a chance to work with his players and try to solve all our problems. Hopefully we’ll look like a football team again. 

Is Christensen fit for this one?

This would more or less be my team as well. 

Possibly a system change as we've become so predictable? Or is having a target man going to suddenly make it click?

Pray to whichever deity you prefer that he is...

Pivotal game this. The seven day break couldn't have come at a better time because it gives the players, Conte and the board time to reflect on two horrendous performances, and what each can do to put it right. We can pick and choose who we like but, most of all, the attitude and commitment has to be spot on. We can freshen things up by sticking in a youngster or two, but they will still look to the senior players for guidance and leadership. If Rudiger doesn't start in defence, then Conte's brain is surely addled.

Definitely need to shake things up. Hope none of the following play: Fabregas, Bakayoko, Cahill, Luiz, Pedro. None of them deserve to on current form.

Agree with all of that Just, also hope Dave gets a bit of form back. He hasn’t been his usual dependable self from about Christmas.

Officially 5th

Is Europa league for us.

Last season, when Conte has decided to change everything and played something new against Hull City, it worked for him very well. This game must be the same, he should change formation, use new and fresh players, a different type of game. 

He still has us to support him, let's hope he won't disappoint us in this game as well. COME ON CHELS!!

He said in the press conference he won't be changing the system.

 I'm sure he won't be.

But would he tell us if he was ?
