We lost by 6 last season and this season our defence is even worse..so it's possible.

I dreamt about this game last night. Kepa was recalled and made a serious of blunders and we lost 2-8. Not sure what to make of that, but if it isn't a sign that I should predict 2-8 in the predictions thread, then I don't know what it is.

A dream or a nightmare?

Chelsea to win, over 2.5 goals in the game & 4+ corners each team 4/1

This lineup is confusing. If you are going to bench Rudiger, then take our Azpi as well.

Tomori in at last but for ridged wtf

Nah, if this back three is going to work especially in these type of games we need atleast one natural fullback there for balance sake.

Furthermore I think Rudigers been pretty poor lately Leicester aside, he's escapes a lot of critisism for some reason.

Sorry but this lineup is awful, why in the f**k are we lining up like it’s Liverpool away? We have to go and attack teams like this not sit back and have a five man defense. Also don’t get some of the changes but who knows who’s available. 
I guess I don’t understand why in this match we don’t play a back four and have more attacking players because these teams will just sit deep and make us break them down which we can never do with this group starting.

Rudiger dropped.... interesting, i also don't see any goals in that starting XI, hope I'm wrong.

MATCHDAY! Come on Chelsea!

Good to see Tomori back in the starting line up.

It seems like Lampard wants to stuck with the 3-4-3 in attack and 5-4-1 in defense. 

Good to see Tomori back and Rudiger dropped, he's been awful lately.

Very uninspiring line-up and formation. I know Franks’ hands are tied slightly though with injuries to the squad. Hopefully Frank knows what he’s doing and we put in a good performance. I don’t think our squad is suited to 3 at the back like it was under Conte. Our best players are central midfielders, so I’d rather see a tailored formation to get as many of them in the team as possible. Much prefer 4-3-3.

Personally I like the lineup, only surprise to me is Pedro, who has little to offer these days.

Good. Rudiger was poor in the last game. Tomori needs the game time. 

Pedro hat trick 

Really hope Loftus-Cheek gets some mins. Looking forward to his comeback for ages. ??

Quite like the team, we seem to struggle against bournemouth so maybe a back 3 with wingbacks is a good idea. Its up front where i feel we may struggle.

Maybe he's thinking ahead to the Liverpool game in mid week.....but oh dear, if that the best we can come up with when we need the 3 points it says a lot about the state of this squad  probably go and win 2-0

I’m the same. I think Pedro over Willian is a tactical one. Him and Mount will work closely around Giroud. We all know how good Giroud is at building up play and bringing other players in and Pedro will be more direct at driving beyond him into the box than Willian would. Alonso and James are very capable of providing the width against this type of team. 

I just worry about jorginho’s mobility when he’s in a 2 rather than 3. Similar to how fabregas struggled in a 2 with us. 

Back 5 v Bournemouth, enough said. Zouma has been our best centre back at times this season but not even on the bench.

Bournemouth home win, 3-1.

That's our 20th different defence selection in our 40 games this season ...
