The one thing I hate the most is when a player gets injured once an opening arrives in his position. 

Not to mention the last few times he's played he's looked very good, considering his poor start to the season. Another youngster who gets setback with injuries.

Frank confirms Billy Gilmour and Kepa to start this one.

 

Also Ziyech and CHO injured ??

Oh the horror.

Also CHO has the best timing jeez...lol

Right then with that news

 

Kepa

 

Rudiger

Tomori

Christensen

Azpi

 

Jorginho 

Gilmour

Havertz 

 

Emerson

Giroud

Anjorin

With the news on CHO I think we should try Alonso as a winger. That was his position in the real Madrid youth team and we all know his problem is defending not attacking. With that in mind I will start this team

 

                         Kepa

Azpi.    Rudi.    Christensen.   Emerson

               Jorginho.  Gilmour

Anjorin.         Havertz.           Alonso

                      Abraham

 

 

 

 

Does FL actually have to start Kepa? If he wants to rest Mendy can't he put out a wacky armed inflatable balloon guy?

                                Kepa

                      Rudi - AC - Tomori

             Azpi - Jorginho - Billy - Alonso

                   Kai - Tammy - Anjorin

Just go full C team if that's possible. Really don't need to risk any starters in here. We are first no matter what, even if we get smashed 8-0. 

This I don't expect Frank to field his best team or even his top backups.  

No reason to have them expend injury in a game we don't even need.

That’s a gif of Kepa in last seasons kit isn’t it?

Who are our options from the C list?

Match Day.

Any chance we can give Petr some minutes? ?

And Frank.

This is Chelsea's CL Squad:

Goalkeepers: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero, Edouard Mendy

Defenders: Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Thiago Silva, Fikayo Tomori, Kurt Zouma, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Cesar Azpilicueta, Emerson Palmieri

Midfielders: Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, Billy Gilmour, Kai Havertz

Attackers: Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, Olivier Giroud

B-LIST: Karlo Ziger, Henry Lawrence, Faustino Anjorin

The ones shaded in pink are the ones I would play.

3-5-2 I’m guessing?

Do we know if refs kits are single use? Pink are still out of stock. Nah f**k it I'm going pink

If  Alonso doesn't start this one you know all bridges are burned between him and Frank.

Emerson should start. I like Alonso (mainly because of all the goals against North London teams) but I think he royally f**ked Frank off with his attitude.
