Think this is another potential banana skin, Troy Deeney will be their ‘Antonio’ for the match and Franks got to choose 2 out of 3 stooges as CH (Rudiger, AC or Zouma ?) he’s not gonna drop Kepa again just bin him in the off season, the midfield haven’t seen Jorginho is that because he’s in the shop window ? Kanté gets picked every game & it seems he’s forgot how to protect the back 4 anyway.  Last times James & Gilmour played they had a mare will Frank risk them again cus if it’s a repeat they’re subbed off early again ? So it’s probably Dave and Alonso as FBs again (please not Emerson)Barkley seems to only succeed as a sub, Pulisic has to start , Willy must need a rest but MnM looks fresh as a daisy,  Pedro maybe ? and I’d have Olly back in for this lot. 
Hope I’m wrong about my prediction but can’t see Pearson losing the opportunity to do what that sweaty sock Moyes did on Weds.

6th place or bust then ! ?

I dislike playing two of the non regulars either James or Gilmour not both, this is not a FA Cup match!

City only occasionally play Foden and I don't notice a second youngster playing along side him. I think Pep knows at this level you can only throw on one youngster or risk an upset.

Personally I blame Rudigier more than anyone for the clusterF against Spuds but he does have the physicality. Willian will blow up if he's used every game and Jorginho must deserve a start somewhere along the line. Attacking options is that maybe CHO is ready for at least a few minutes. Abraham has looked crap but maybe he needs more time to run into form, same for RLC. RLC looked better without looking good (played it too safe when we needed aggression).

Now is when we need the young guys to start coming through.

Watford need the win as much as Spammers did and they will almost certainly play a high press. There is no doubt Man U are in excellent form and have quite a solid defence relative to us. So its a worry. I might even go for a back 5 this game. If I did :

No Kante in the middle please... That's all I ask Frank. 

Oh and Kurt Zouma please, for sure. And if you can just one more wish, Tomori, if he's fit.

Match Day/

Come on Chelsea.

 I'll settle for a 1-0 win for us.

What i think should happen

Kepa

James (purely to give Azpi a breather not on recent merit)

Zouma

Rudiger (would have been Fik if he was available)

Alonso

Jorginho/Gilmour

Barkley (would have been Kova if he was available)

Mount

Hudson Odoi/Pedro

Giroud

Pulisic

This is the best lineup tonight when you factor in opponent, merit, team balance, resting player's but we all know Azpi will get ran to the ground, Kante will be put infront of the back 4 and play 90 minutes no matter what, Willian will play again (even though he looks knackered and close to burn out) and i wouldn't even be surprised if Tammy does aswell. We should win tonight 1-0 or 2-1 but it won't be pretty. I really hope i'm wrong.

Agreed, if Frank plays the correct line up he's done his bit and i will absolve him of any blame if we drop points.

Match day is here,anyone like to guess which team will turn up for us tonight,dr jekyll and Mr Hyde springs to mind.

Match day.....Up the Chels !

Well, if Watford are going to sling crosses into the box, and we concede needless corners we're f**ked.

Hopefully Kurt and emerson are playing tonight,try and tighten that leaky defence. 

I expect similar to West ham low back, we have all the position we fling crosses into the box with no one tapping in.

£5 pound free bet on tonights game. 

Match day !! I really hope we are going to keep our top 4 hopes alive with e win here, pressure is on us, as by game time we could be even on 6th place.

Come on Chels !

That's the line up I would like to see start but can't see it happening.

Never been a fan of Zouma but he HAS to start tonight.

 

For me,

                            Kepa

James (Azpi needs a break) Rudiger Zouma Emerson

                   Kante Mount

Willian          Barkley        Pulisic

                      Giroud

No Abraham please. He has been a weak link on both offense and defense since December 2019.  He routinely gets out muscled on most aerial balls and shows very little ability to beat a defender. He looks like he is running on glass. Also frustrating how many times he is offsides. 

I think Abraham likes the ball played up to him yet we tend to cross and he does not make the right runs.

I think his current skill set is too narrow so should come on from the bench when Giroud is tired or injured.

Game day....let's GO!

Happy July 4th to Pulisic

Chelsea WIN

Good day

 

ManU taking all 3 points. Leicester is still at 0-0 at HT.

I really don't see United dropping more points until end of season ,so we had better bring our A game,enough of the excuses.

What excuses? Don’t think there’s any. If United finishes above us, can’t have any qualms over it as it’s been on merit. They play much better than us and have a team that has been put together for an exact system, which is where we’ll be next season.
