I noticed the blue socks yesterday not long after they’d scored and blamed them for that. The law clearly states Chelsea play in white socks!

[butch mode on] f**k the law [butch mode off] Blue socks bring us our mojo.

We were away at Everton as well though. They copied the low block and counter attack West ham first used and did us. Potter is no fool, he will likely do the same and we will have to break it down.

First goal of the decade is up for grabs. Brighton's record v Chelsea is appalling.  BHA are not noted for their pace on the counter.

Brighton are really poor in the big games, so it would be sh*t if we were to not win this. 

Game Day. On New Years Day !

Come on Chelsea !!

  Good morning, can confirm.  This 'old f#cker'; or 'old Chelsea git' as I prefer to call myself !

We changed to blue socks in 1959-1960. Then it varied between Blue and white socks in the early -mid 1960s.

Come on Chelsea !

Damn can't watch it but hope the best for our lads! 

Match day.....COME ON YOU BLUES !    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

Ffs Kante starting again... 

Feel Kovacic should be a nailed on starter. 

Mh i like that Pulisic is in the starting line up but why not Kovacic and is Alonso still injured (not even on the bench) ?

He may need to come on depending no how this progresses. Still pleased to see Mount, Willian, Abraham and Pulisic starting.

Team still has weakness but if nothing else this should be an opportunity for James to express himself a bit more. Kante perhaps a touch lucky and Willian is old enough to need the occasional rotation. 

Nice to see Reece too. 

I feel alonso is getting transferred. Shame really as he has more good than bad moments.

I hope not. I don't think he should be a regular starter, but he's a great squad player who can come up with match winning moments.

At least he had one last good game with us. Can't really get my head around why Emerson is still ahead of Alonso. 

But yeah feels like Conte knocked on the door. 

We should've went with Kovacic-Jorginho midfield, the Kante and Jorginho pivot has looked awful. I don't know why Lampard won't drop Kante, he's been out of form lately and he could do with a rest. 

Manager feels this is the best team so Come On Chelsea!!!!

 

Let's get behind Lamps and cheer the team on let's go into the match with a positive mentality.

I thought Alonso was injured.

Good to see James in the starting line up.

Thats the wrong team. Kante and Jorginho doesn’t work well together and Kova is our best player and needs to play.

Kante has to just to stick and protect the back four....there's other that can chase forward...at least Brighton are an attacking team which suits our counter attacking style away from home...
