I really miss the CHELSEA HAMMER THE HAMMERS HEADLINE. The pikeys are due a mauling from us but i doubt it with our fatigue levels. Will go for this line up if pulisic and christensen are still injured and in all honesty we should just protect them. No point in exacerbating their injuries and losing them for the season 

                                Kepa

    Azpi         Rudiger          Zouma         Alonso

                                Kante

               Barkley                 Kovacic

Willian              Giroud                     Pedro

Well done @coco, the last thread was just a blip 

I need to go in to work one day this week, do I risk leaving it until Thursday to hopefully take the piss out of our resident ‘ammer?

                   Kepa

James   Rudi    Zouma   Azpilicueta

              Jorginho 

Barkley                  Kovacic

Pedro                      Willian

             Tammy

Kante, Mount, Pulisic should get some rest.

West Ham has scored 0 goals in the last 3 games, all losses. This on paper should be an easy win no need to risk Kante and Pulisic here, expecting a 60% possession game with Barkley and Kovacic dominating.

Not sure about James TBH  he's been way below standard since the lockdown. 

 

I would go Dave Rudi Kurt Alonzo 

If we start Alonso and West Ham start Zabaleta we could see one of the great battles of inertia down our left flank.

Alonso is having more than decent performances.

Kepa

Azpi Rudiger Christensen Alonso

Kante

Barkley Kovacic

Willian Giroud Pulisic

 

Hopefully Pulisic is fit, he’s been our best player in these last 3 games. Mount has quickly accumulated a lot of minutes and may benefit from a rest. Azpi performing well ahead of James in the games we’ve seen since lockdown. Feeling quite confident for this game - lots of options from the bench if things aren’t working for us. 

Think I would go for:

Kepa

Azpilicueta  Christensen  Rudiger  Alonso

Kovacic  Jorginho  Mount

Pulisic  Abraham  Willian

He has been very good in the opposition half, although Mahrez gave him a bit of a runaround on Thursday. 

That was intended as a joke about how slow they both are. 

Kepa
Azpi Rudiger Christensen Alonso
Kante
Barkley Kovacic
Willian Giroud Pulisic

That would be my team apart maybe from starting Abraham ahead of Giroud.

That's put the mockers on that then. 

I don’t think William can play every game and Pulisic needs nursing. also will Christensen be fit?

dave Christensen/Zouma rudigier alonso

Rlc Jorginho Kovacic 

Pedro Abraham Mount 

thats not the best team but it’s like preventive maintenance rotating before the injuries or fatigue instead of afterwards. And yes it’s disruptive but we have to adapt to the schedule. 

Spammers are one of our bogey clubs ,generally crap but turn into barca when playing us,god I hate them.

Is it too much to ask for an Everton win on Wed?

Everton win or draw and we smash WHU. Would be an excellent Wednesday.

Fabianski generally turns in to the Worlds best keeper when playing us (since Drogba left anyway, he used to brick it at the sight of him). 

It's frustrating that so many of our games are happening after United, Wolves and Leicester play their games. It would be nice to start a game with that 5 point lead instead of 2. 

I was surprised that Frank didn't give Kante, Pulisic and Willian a break at the FA CUP.
They needed it and our aim is to reach the end in the top 4.
I did not understand that.

Kepa
Azpi, Christensen, Rudiger / Zouma, Alonso
Barkley, Jorginho, Kovacic
Pedro, Giroud, Mount

I would prefer it to be fresh here Willian, Kante and Pulisic ...
But there is game 3 days later.
They can't play all the games ...

Kepa

 

Azpi

Christensen (Zouma if not fit)

Rudiger

Alonso

 

Jorginho

Kovacic

Mount

 

Willian

Giroud

Pulisic (Pedro if not fit)

lets smash em i predict a  3-1 win for Chelsea ?

Team hard to predict but am very confident of a win. Mainly because they beat us early in the season, I can't see Lampard letting anyone forget that. 

Reckon we'll see a similar team to the City lineup.

Kepa, Dave, Christensen, Rudiger, Alonso, Kante, Mount, Barkley, Willian, Pulisic Giroud. 

This is the bananaskin game. We just completed a 3 game hurdle with flying colors. Players could see this as an easier game and not go all out.

In recent years, you are correct. I am hoping Frank is keeping them focused.

Oddly, with the three month pandemic, this no longer seems like Frank’s first season. I see more confidence in him and this, now more than ever, is his team. He knows what to expect from each player and each player knows what to expect from Frank.
 

Come on you Chelsea!!
