Lack of rotation is concerning again but I'm glad Giroud is starting. We need him to hold the ball up and being others in to the play. 

It might be dark outside, but rise and shine, it's game time!

(Well, it's dark where I live)

Personally would have preferred CHO coming in for Pedro and sticking with what seemed to be working rather than bringing Giroud back in. Hopefully it works!! 

I am anticipating a tight game. Similar to the west ham game. We have to be clinical today to take all 3 points.

CHO is injured

Zaha hasn't scored for a few games, right? Haha expect him to score then. 

I'm going 1-3 Chelsea win

Ahh fair enough, thought I’d read he’d recovered! My bad! In that case Giroud is probably the lesser of two evils between him and Morata (can’t believe im saying that)

Any streams my tv is down 

TV's back  on....

Lots of side to side passing with little threat, palace with everyone behind the ball and looking for the counter...feels like deja vu

What a stupid booking that was.

red for alonso today?

Moronic from Alonso

what an idiot

Crazy reaction, not even 10 minutes into the game and he's already frustrated. Look's like a reaction from a player who is under pressure.

I said I wasn’t gonna get up for this match and here I am...

Time Rudi time !! could of chested that down.

Threat coming from Alonso side again

Sure, let's try punting a long ball up and trying to find N'Golo with it. That seems sensible.

Jorginho ffs, !!!!!!

Lively from Kante there 

No wonder Giroud hasn't got goals, he doesn't want to go for goals at all. Just continues knocking to someone else. 

For some reason Alonso has got worse since signing his contract

It's ok to have as an option, but i would like to see us use it as a dummy run to get them running backwards, then Luiz just carries it forward into midfield and takes advantage of territory.
