Come on you Chelsea!

McGoldrick not starting for Sheffield United which surely increases our chances of keeping a clean sheet by about 75%...

Oh is that the player who has scored like 4 goals in the Premier League in his whole career and 3 are against Chelsea... You couldn't make it up. 

Obviously the formation is similar to Conte's, but the way we play isn't really. Conte was all about getting the ball to our forwards or wingbacks in forward positions, bypassing the midfield as quickly as possible, whereas Tuchel puts more emphasis on controlling the game. In that regard he is similar to Sarri although we seem more flexible than we were with him. In Sarri's system every player had a specific role, whereas so far with Tuchel we seem a lot more fluid. It's early doors though and I'm curious to see where the journey is leading.

True to his word he is giving different players a shot to prove themselves, surprised pulisic isn’t even on the bench 

He's probably picked up another knock. I don't think Tuchel would have two left backs on the bench over Pulisic otherwise.

Chelsea win 5 - 0.

Goalscorers - Rudiger, Chilwell x2, James and Kante.

That’s the spirit. Optimism on here.?

Not many goals in that team. Will be a struggle to create much.

But some decent bench options if we need them !

Sheff Utd tend not to let more than 1 past them even when they lose, so being clinical is everything for this one and that’s exactly what we’re not. They are bottom but on top form now after finally finding their feet and if you look at the goal difference they’ve still been fairly solid even in defeat as mentioned.

Signed up for another free trial of peacock with a different email.  Hope their stream is better than the last time.

Chilwell should be up for it to get his spot back.  I guess Zooma hasn't impressed much in training, Tuchel picked Christensen over him.

My bold prediction is Timo with a brace

 

 

Surprised Ziyech isn't in the starting lineup considering his performance against Sheffield earlier in the season.

Probably dropped due to poor performance. Lol

He's been pretty swell under Tuchel, I don't think that's the reason.

Christensen will always play in a back 3 in Silvas absence due to his distribution skills. 

Zouma is more of a replacement for Rudiger if he were to be injured or rested. 

I was on a walk the other day when I saw Timo.

He pushed me against a wall and whispered "I'm scoring against Sheffield"

He then ran away before the police got to him.

True story.

Agree with an earlier comment that the side doesn’t fill me with confidence. But if we are starting to build a system, players should be more interchangeable. 
Need some goals from the front today. Must be clinical/ruthless. 
Tough conditions - they have to be up for the fight/second balls. Then get the ball on the floor. Come on Chelsea!!!!!

Have CHO as our first goal scorer in the 23rd minute. Aaaaaand he isn't starti g. Either we need a very early substitution, or #tuchelout. Me getting better at predicting is not a credible option.

Not much improvement. It’s reliable but why only 30fps I don’t know. 
Assume you are Us based - you know they are shutting down NBCSN end of year. Will all move to Peacock. 

Would do me the world of good if Big Silky Giroud Scores, would be even better if he scores first. 

3-1 to us.

True story.

did he say which Sheffield? maybe he meant Wednesday

Why are we not playing in our home kit, surely this blue against the Sheffield kit is more of a clash. 

Don’t want to keep bringing it up but any one got the good grace to admit they were wrong about mount?

Got to feel for CHO, and Alonso?

“With Marcos, we don’t need to take the risk to let him play three in a row in 10 days,” Tuchel told Sky Sports.

“It was the same for Callum Hudson-Odoi. He has started three games in a row in very intense matches when you see the data – a lot of acceleration and deceleration and sprints.

“He does not have a history of being used for 90 minutes in too many matches. We won’t take a risk with him.”

Why aren't we wearing blue??? 

Careless that nearly conceded after 40 seconds 

a nasty match ahead?

I have no idea. Makes absoutely no sense.

We will have to wear each kit a certain amount of times a season.
