hope these dirty bastards don't injure another one or two

@coco Really like the new touch-up with the "in context" gifs for the match thread 😅

Just win so we can secure it early. Gotta be careful these bar stewards don't put in any crazy tackles

                               Mendy

       Chalobah.  Christensen.   Rudiger

Azpi.      Kante.      Jorginho.      Alonso

       Mount.       Havertz.         ChO

This is an okey lineup and I think it's important to rest Pulisic here, don't ask me why I just have this gut feeling!

 

Mendy

Chalobah - Christensen - Sarr

Dave - RLC - Jorginho - Alonso

Mount - Havertz - CHO

 

Make a couple of changes but still try to make sure to get the win because 3 points from this one and I think we can feel pretty confident of qualification from the group.

Yeah that is my main worry, sadly we have to make sure to win this if we want to qualify. I would not risk an injury to Kante or RLC though.

So then with that in mind:

 

Mendy

 

Dave

Silva

Rudiger

 

James

Jorgi

Saul

Alonso

 

Barkely

Havertz

CHO

 

This isn't the Carrabou Cup, so limited rotation.

Mendy

Dave Christensen Rudiger

James Kante Jourinho Alonso 

CHO Havertz Mount

This should've been my first Chelsea game.

(*inserts a certain four-lettered word*) covid.

Definitely need to win this one to get to the last 16. It should be our most winnable away game in the group 

 

Mendy 

james azpi Andreas Rudigier chiller 

Jorginho Kante/rlc

mount havertz cho 

not sure about playing Kante twice in a 5 days.

¿ Que?

We have played 16 games this season and haven't used either our Yellow or Black and Orange Jerseys . A million dollars say we break that trend tomorrow. lol

Pulisic back in the squad, Mason not getting better, maybe doubtfull for Burnley I guess

If they can just avoid playing in the hot pink jersey.  (I don't know if that's still being used this season or not.)

If the treat Pulisic like they treated Lukaku the last time out his arm might get torn off.

I'm an American, I really want to see Pulisic do well but considering they sent 2 guys who didn't have previous injury issues to the trainer's table last time around, I shudder to think what they might do to Pulisic.

Pulisic is in the traveling squad and might make a sub appearance 😬😬😬😬😬

Yeah, I'm glad to hear he's healthy, but worried with the way they played last time what they might do to Pulisic.

I seem to remember last time feeling like Malmo's defensive strategy was to try and intimidate Chelsea with rough play.

Then of course the USMNT will probably want Pulisic against Mexico who also plays extremely "physical" in a rivalry match up.

Thanks @chiefBlueCFC but as I mentioned above, covid travel restrictions is what prevented me. 😁
