Out of the 3 I would sooner Mason take one for the team and be our Jorginho today. He has the vision and passing to be a deep lying playmaker.

weird i would have thought RLC would start as he was doing the presser. Happy with Barkley though, hope he takes his chance  

I need to pick our first goal scorer. I had Ziyech, but as he's on the bench I switched to Mount. But now I'm tempted to switch again to Barkley. He has the odd goal in him.

Let's see how this system and players work. The midfield can be either a master class or a complete disaster, we'll see. Probably TT is giving RLC a rest and he'll start against Leeds on Saturday.

Any particular reason for your lack of love for 'the club that can't be mentioned here'? 😂

Several rests I would say.

Mendy, Silva, Rudiger, Alonso, Jorginho, RLC, Havertz and Ziyech all likely starters that game unless Werner and Lukaku pull up trees today.

So we will likely get Bayern, Real Madrid, Ajax. What happens if the English teams who have topped their table? We get drawn against the next club down, right? 

I really enjoy your music.

Not sure but you can see it is true, burning, raging hatred

 

TT not got many options today with Leeds in mind, hope Saul can muster up a performance today in whatever position TT assigns him to play. 

Hope we can avoid defeat and grab a narrow 1-0 away win.

 

Come on Chelsea !!

Another host of changes, midfield could get overrun with Saul the carousel in the middle. Oh well lets see how it goes.

I reckon we might be seeing Saul at LWB with a back three and Mount/Barkley as the two in middle.

Ah you can just feel Cocos excitement about the return of

Good to see Keppa given a chance...Mendy needs to be reminded that poor performances won't go without penalty...WTF is Saul doing on the pitch?? Again how many changes TT? ZSP are no mugs and we need a result...

Haha well it's obvious that Tuchel has copied my lineup and yet somehow come to the conclusion that it needed more rotation...

I think it's best to see this game as a free hit. It's an opportunity to play some of our rotation options and returning starters into form. Surprised to see Havertz and Alonso make the bench though - hopefully we don't need to risk them.

Saul is going to surprise a lot of people tonight including me, I can just feel it.

My feelings of the game

Dear lord! and I thought we've seen the worst of him already!

Shocked to see both Barkley and Saul starting, hopefully they surprise me.

Both players and supporters are an arrogant bunch of self entitled twats. They're my country's equivalent of Liverpool and Man United combined.

Saul is going to surprise a lot of people today. Most of all himself finding him starting another game for Chelsea.
