Looking at the bench I don't think we have any defensive options. So really keeping my fingers crossed that we don't pick up any injuries at the back tonight. We are really down to our bare bones.

I think Hall is the only possible cover - for LWB, but he's more usually a left midfielder

I hope we don't lose any more defenders tonight ... JT as emergency centre back anyone ?  Probably still got his kit :-)

I would wait and see how it looks once the game starts. Not convinced Alonso will play anywhere other than LWB. I am surprised we didn't consider Mbuyumba for the bench though. Maybe FA Cup he will get a run out.

Yeah some are calling we may switch to a back 4, which could look like this:

 

Kepa

 

Dave

Rudiger 

Sarr

Alonso

 

Jorginho 

Mount

Saul

 

Ziyech

 

Havertz

Lukaku

 

I like that idea better...

Maybe lol.

 

Would just be madness to put Alonso at RWB and  Saul LWB when you could play CHO and CP instead.

Maybe. If so I would tell Dave and Alonso not to cross the halfway line cause they are not getting much cover from Ziyech and none from Havertz or Lukaku.

Why just have one player out of position when you can have two !

WTF is Saul doing on the pitch??

Lol it would be 2 each way, Saul ain't a wingback lol.

To make you...

No way this game should be on

Personally I would have enjoyed an academy day more than a patched up side risking overload again day. Hopefully TT has made the right call and we manage to get a result that gives us a chance in the second long.

Manager he is facing is a shark.

Why do we change our shirts to red and our hairdos to perms overnight?

Please let him do so...we have 6 changes and Spuds 1...realised that Kante tested positive for Covid-19 but again, Tuchel making too many changes...we're playing a minor team in the cup at weekend so he could have made changes then...he turning into another tinker man...

Especially when you consider that Liverpool got their game called off.

Well, surely you'd have Alonso at LWB for one of the wingbacks :-)

No I want to see goals so he would be up front. 😉

Rules is rules, apply them for us ( we have a keeper and more than 13 outfield players) and ignore them to do red sides favours.

Have you not learned this yet? Lol

Kepa in goal, that defence against Kane and son. No Kante, man this going to be painfully hilarious lol.

Come On Chelsea!

Ladies and gentleman, it is game day

Lets be positive. It is a Chelsea game.
