I think it’s going to be a roller coaster of an afternoon on Sunday with ours and the United game flip flopping between the teams.

Buckle up.

Kinda nice to go in to the last game of the league season  with something riding on it for us. Does not happen often.

You’re probably right, be very dull to have things clear cut all the time. Just got a feeling I’ll be pacing the room more than I’ll be sitting down enjoying it!

Indeed. VARchester have been pretty sh*t the last two games and I won't be surprised if Leicester wins that game. Which is fine for us as long as we get a point.

Posts like this disgust me. How can you, as a Chelsea fan, ever say Frank Lampard is the clubs biggest problem after all of the great memories he has given us and continues to give us? I would honestly be shocked if you have supported the club for more than a few months at this point.

He doesn’t support the club... he’s been posting the same anti-Lampard agenda on almost every thread on here. Funnily enough, I don’t think he made a single post at the weekend after United until we lost last night? 
 

He’s a troll best ignored. He’ll either get bored eventually or he’ll cross a line with one of his posts and get banned.

Dull or not, i'd rather we had it sewn up, for the sake of my health.

f**k playing for a draw. We’re simply not good enough. We need to go after them and go for goals.

 

Willy

Reece - Christensen - Zouma - Azpi

 Mount - Kante (if fit) - RLC/Kova

CHO - Tammy - Pulisic 

Hopefully, Lampard makes the right move and not start Kepa.
Regardless of how good he is, his confidence has hit an all-time low, and we can't afford any slipups.

Endgame time. 

This Game has no Room for a draw. Lampard needs to set up the actual best players on the Pitch at first Minute and not to wait 1 Half of the Game. 

Looking forward and can't wait for the start but I'm damn nervous. The Wolves are such an Tough Team ?

There is actually room for a draw. It wouldn't be the best on the heart method but there is room for it.

Our Defense or Keeper are too weak. We have to get +2 Goals more than Wolves, LPool showed us that there is 1 chance enough to score against us. 

We're playing for the CL qualification and Wovles are playing for the Europe League qualification. A game with a lot of weight. 

The only positive things I saw from the game against Liverpool are the subs and as a team we didn't give up and kept playing.

Our backline including the GK is pretty awful, I really hope that for this game our players understand the importance of the game. We have a great chance to get into the CL and we have the ability to do it.

I'd go for this lineup:

---------------- Caballero --------------

Azpilicueta - Zouma - Tomori - James (I'd stick James with Adama Traore)

------- Kovacic --- Loftus-Cheek -----

Willian -------- Mount ------- Pulisic

------------ Giroud -------------

 

I know that CHO and Abraham made an impact in the game but I'd rather give the most experienced players in this match.

 

Extremely important game and all we need is a draw, but im hoping we go for the win

I would be tempted with this

                             Willy

James       Zouma     Rudiger      Azpi

               Kova Jorginho

Mount           RLC         Pulisic

                  Giroud 

 

Massive game, the players need to be up for this as CL qualification is a must for progression. Next season Liverpool won't have it as easy and we'll be far better, the club knows where it needs to improve.

Getting Havertz and improve the defence and keeper and we will be a force again. That run from Pulisic last night was beautiful, I swear he nutmegged three players, or was it two. Awesome player.

He is still inexperienced and it's normal for him to make mistakes, just like tonight when he didn't start Pulisic.

But no manager would do any better with this squad this season. Top 4 is close, all we need is a high level of concentration and we're certainly there.

Now is the time to get behind the team!

He didn´t start pulisic because he got injuried against Norwich (same reason he didn´t play against United)
Pulisic is definitelly playing as many minutes as he can on sunday (hopefully that means he can start the game)

I fully expect Wolves to go for the win. Although top 4 is out of their reach, they do have something to play for in that a win might guarantee them a Europa spot. First goal will be vital in a game like this. If we can score first it will hopefully settle any nerves and that will help. Although a draw is enough for us, it will be a nervy finish if we are all tied towards the end, especially knowing our defense and goalkeeper.

Mount isn’t a winger, & I don’t understand what some fans have against CHO. Against a Wolves back 3, you need players that will keep their wingbacks pinned back all games & be decisive when they get the ball at their feet. That isn’t Mount, CHO starts all day for me but can’t see it happening. 

     The problem with your point  is that the 2 players behind the striker are not wingers but auxiliary number 10's who are meant to press the opposition defence and also protect our 2 midfielders (Jorginho and Kovacic) and i have no faith in CHO doing either.  The wing backs of wolves will be matched with our own wing backs  and the width from the formation comes from the wingbacks. CHO can be an impact sub along with abraham if our starters get tired

This is a very difficult Match Wolves are going to try do a real number on us and that makes them dangerous.

I can't predict the outcome here....

Last game for Kepa,Jorginho,Kante,Christensen,Alonso?

Because of the stupid way we approach the last game,  everything hinges on this game. 

Anything short of a win will send us to the Europa League

I haven't seen them this season though was looking back at their July results they lost 1-0 away to Sheffield Utd and drew away to Burnley 1-1, they won all their home matches. 

Jimenez and Jota have taken us apart before at home think it was Luiz and Rudiger, last year we drew 1-1 at home so this is likely to be a cagey match.

Small details will make a difference and they have had more time to prepare with a good manager. 

I'm very interested to see what team and formation Frank picks for this.

Last year we didn't equalise until the second minute of injury time, Hazard on 92 min.

You go for the win and if it doesn't work out fight for a draw. If you go for a draw from the offset, we'll be smashed like yesterday

Well it seems you missed my point. I never said we should go for a draw...

Nice wouldn't be my preferred adjective for this match I would reserve nice for the FA Cup final.

This is really a must win or must not lose which makes it a nervy match and with a newbie Manager we are in to new territory.
