I would still like to know who’s in charge for this match that’s now just over 48 hours away. Petr? Flo? Mason Mount?

Why are you going to give him some advice? ?

You're dead right, it's Florent Malouda.

I don't expect us to win this game at all, I can only hope that we don't lose against Spurs.

Mr.T must get Pulisic and Werner going or at least Havertz. 

We might actually win this.

Sounds bad but I’m actually looking forward to this game now as the team might have some fight. I’m hoping there’s a new manager bounce.

Ah Mr. T there is a contender for his nickname.

Hope Wolves f**king smash us. Let me grieve Lamps for at least a game or two, then we set our sights on Europa League lol.

Yes. Pass towards the opposition goal, not our own!

"They looked good in training"  said the new gaffer.....

 

                                  Kepa

Azpilicueta     Rudiger     Christensen    Emerson

                 Jorginho  Kovacic  Kante

Ziyech                                                     Pulisic 

                                 Werner

 

Change Emerson for Alonso and we’re on track to become the perfect business model with all the high price tags in the field. We probably would have to play Havertz for Azpi though...

Must win game and I'm more confident as I was last week. Don't know to expect from Tuchel but this squad is good, so I'm hoping to see what we were doing 8 weeks ago.

If Tuchel is in the dug out for this game and we win convincingly you have your answer as to why Roman fired Frank. 

No problem now. Should win this 3 or 4 nil.
This guy must be special. Can’t believe he can come in the country, as long as he tests negative, be allowed to take training and matches but isolate for only 5 days. You either isolate or you don’t!

Those that aren’t key workers, we have tests and we can only go to the supermarket or jog walk or cycle for an hour!!!

How is this guy still around?

He only pipes up when we are in a bad moment or always make a sarky comment about the manager or a player.

’A draw would be a pleasant surprise.’ (Chelsea v Palace)

We should be all over this offer. A chance to undo the Kapa damage to the finances. (Transfer offer for Hudson Odoi)

Villa created more in 10 mins against Liverpool than we did in 90.

This team has a special blend of lack of application and lack of character. Magnifique.

Miss the days when Frank first came in and people pretended we played amazing sexy football while drawing with mighty Sheffield at home.

Oh no. (His response to Lampard sacking).

I’m not really sure why the font size have changed but yeah, this guy only pipes up with negative and sarky comments. I’m just calling him out because he quite literally adds nothing positive. When everything is nice and rosy, suddenly he disappears.

 

Apparently Tuchel wanted to buy Jorginho and Rudiger. We still don't know what formation is he going to play. He played differently in Dortmund and PSG so really curious about this. 

Is Kante fit? 

My guess is 4231 with Jorginho and Kante double pivot and Kai AM.

Wow and no one's called him up on this comment!

If someone who wanted Lampard out said that for the Fulham or Leicester game they'd have been confronted with pages worth of outrage...

After what happened yesterday.I really have no idea what to expect from our players for this game.

I’m still a bit shocked at what’s happened.

Wow.

As much as I am disappointed and a little embarrassed by the decision to sack Frank,  it's been made and we move forward as a club.  I am not sure how the incoming manager is (still not official as of nearly Tuesday lunch time) has an effect on the game other than maybe a last minute rallying cry.  As some have pointed out you sometimes get a bounce effect and the players up their games, and sometimes you get the dead opposite. 

Interesting game, the players need to take the leadership I feel.  My gut feeling is we will win

I have written to the club to put me in charge for a game... think I would go :  

Mendy 

James  Silva Rudiger Chilwell 

Gilmore 

Havertz Mount CHO

Werner Abraham 

 

 

                Mendy

James T.Silva Zouma Chilwell

         Jorginho Mount

       Ziyech Havertz CHO

             Abraham

I’m living in your head rent free.

Damn missed out Ziyech, I sent my letter to Roman second class so hopefully he doesn't get the chance to appoint me before the game.
