Don't let us down lads,

Come on you Blues.

Look forward to seeing how this line up plays. 

I wonder what Kurt did, or Rudiger did, to see that change at the back.

Love the lineup! I just want to see us play well and fluidly, regardless of result.

I'm here, I'm here, by popular demand ? Pink probably tonight, we haven't seen that lately.

‘Some of our results of late have been indifferent and that’s not a direct thing on Kurt, but I felt that there were some changes that could be made. Tony is a personality within the group, and it’s a moment where we need personalities to get a result.’

But now we're missing him as a goal scoring threat and I think Zouma is a better defender anyways. Another bizarre one from Lamps..

 

line up looks decent on paper but I'm afraid we are going to keep seeing more of the same, play out wide to the wings and cross, cross, cross.  I hope not as I'd like to see Tammy running the channels and balls over the top...still here's hoping. 

Callum has got his chance, now he needs to take the game by the throat and show he can keep it

Nah pink is UEFA, I think  light blue or black for PL. Because we have teams likely wearing blue it'll he black today

Good line up will need Tammy to hold up the ball well today and don’t let it bounce off him to get us up the field 

A good lineup tbf to Frank.

Spot on with the lineup. Hopefully it’s a 4-2-3-1

That's an odd result, I have 1-1 myself.

 

Yeahyeah, I'll get my coat...

Interesting. I would agree with you on that sonic. 

Arguable 3 of the back 4 are leaders, minus Chilwell. However further forward we dont really have any bar Giroud. Tammy and Mount need to step up their leadership and pull the others up to take responsibility imo.

I of course want three points, but I watch for entertainment value more than anything. 

 

 

Don't crucify me lol. 

Cmon Chelsea!

They'll come right after us, we should have good chances to counter.

Lets hope Kovacic starts well and we get an early grip on the game, A confidence building performance is my biggest hope COYB

No major changes in the lineup. Looks like 4-3-3 with a bit different lineup. Glad to see Werner sidelined, CHO and Havertz starting. Reece of course. 

Let's be positive and hope to turn the season around. 

Gilmour should have started, otherwise good lineup. 

I think Gilmour should leave on loan to develop himself further. He cant be sitting on the bench without game time at his development age. His world class talent is being wasted and it's sad to see.

I must say, I kind of like this line up.   Hope for a good performance and 3 points

If it is 4-3-3 then we will finally see Kovacic as the lone DM which is exciting.

Wouldn't it be great if frank had the lads walk out the tunnel like this every match

It's always nice to see 4 academy products starting. ? 

Surprised with the CB selection, thought Kurt would come in for one of them. Let's see how they hold up.

Worried with that midfield, too suspect defensively. Havertz can't afford to do one of his over the hill Özil impressions in this one. Needs to start running around and getting involved more.

Up top I have a good feeling about Tammy and CHO. They seem to have chemistry about them.

i can see a fight for the ball if we get a penalty.
