Hope we batter this lot

I reckon this is going to be tough with them taking it seriously with an unchanged eleven and with, I expect, an extra fired up crowd what with our closed doors request. Just 450 of our fans will be completely lost in there. I wonder if they sold some of the rest of ours to their fans. If segregation allowed I imagine they would have.

I can’t predict the result but I do think it’s going to be a hard watch. Expect plenty of boro bias from the beeb as well.

That is up to us. If we put a shift in and Lukaku, Mount, CP and Ziyech bother to show up we have ample quality to hurt them. Up not will be tough as we made Luton tough and they are in a similar place to Boro.

Who cares about a championship team's chairman talking about us?

Nobody.

3-0 us.

Not sure I like 4 at the back with this squad or big Rom starting yet think 3-0 for us though it might take some time to break them down and activity form the bench.

Little but stronger side than I thought we’d see. Definitely not taking this lot lightly; no excuses 

Irregular defence and no steel in midfield means our attack has got to work or we're in for at worst, a boring game with possession but no goals.

It will be good practice for the atmosphere at bernabeau if uefa don't allow our fans attend ..

Actually I know you can't compare both stadiums but hopefully u catch my drift

can't wait for Ziyech to give great passes and Lukaku not anticipating them and the halftime discussion that ensues between them

Fairly sure that's a back three with Loftus-Cheek at left wing-back seeing as it's the one outfield role he hasn't played at Chelsea.

Come on Chelsea!!

He could potentially be RWB with Dave at LWB or he could be playing in the back three with Sarr at LWB. The possibilities are endless. 

these idiots don't understand that the request to play behind closed doors was a strategical move to get the FA to react and point out the hypocrisy

He's tall enough for the gloves

BBC revelling in our misery again then. c**ts. 

Shearer  ( quite rightly ) criticising our request for the game to be played behind closed doors but then sh*ts all over it by praising Gibsons disgusting response.

0-2 up in 10 minutes, make it a long shift for Shearer and lineker

Mendy upfront to show Lukaku how it’s done then? 

Even in the warm up doing the resistance band exercises you can see Lukaku is a touch slower at moving his legs than everyone else

What's his pointing like though ?

Really hope Lukaku shows some fight and scores a few tonight. Maybe try and drive that price up a bit 

Motd just pissed they had to drive up..whilst Chelsea players still got the plane to Boro.

They build up Boro in the studio, then predict Chelsea win
