When we went 3-0 down i turned the TV off and immediately jumped on my motorbike for a ride, a great remedy for a sore defeat, i din't realise the big fella got 2x yellows.

Aye sadly. Ah well learning curve.

Easy win

That’s it right there (except I still trust Mendy). But after last weekend’s display of tactical ineptitude and “no I didn’t learn anything from that spanking” press conference from TT, I don’t see it happening.

If Chalobah is anywhere near fit, he should play. We have no height in defence to deal with set pieces with KK out.

How about we surprise them with a midfield 3 of:

 

Gallagher

Casadei

Carney

 

Munkworth

Valerie

Coco

 

Can't be worse than what we have can it? 😂

TT just been banned from the touchline for this one.  The Foxes are on a miserable run as usual when they cone up against us. Their fans booed them yesterday in the EFL cup fixture at Stockport they won on pens after a 0-0. To add a bit of spice CFC are trying to sign Fofana whose been rested for their last 2 of their fixtures - will he play or be on the bench for this fixture or rested again ? Anyway the seasons started with a pop rather than a bang and I've got a feeling that TT will play the same system with the same players out of position so Im going for the renewal of C(harity)FC and this will be at best a home draw. TT has an OK  record vs Brenda  in the EPL-2 wins and a draw last time out, however in the 1 game that really mattered The FA Cup Final 2020 he lost. 

Line up same as vs Leeds, Kai as false 9, James in the 3 to deal with Vardy etc.

If @Munkworthcan bring the fence he was working on, that would be great across the midfield!

              -------- Kepa -----------

James  - Chalobah - Silva --- Chilwell

                  ----Ampadu-------

        ---- Gallagher ----Kovacic

        Sterling--- Havertz----- Mount

It’s only going to be 10ft wide, 3ft tall and have a gate in the middle, it would at best be a minor inconvenience to all parties.

Your hashtag makes no sense since all you did was to basically put Ampadu as the deep-sitting-DM. Face it you just hate Jorginho, the rest is just poorly formulated arguments that try to hide it.

Kepa in goals please. Otherwise whats he actually doing here. Players need to be held accountable for mistakes or they'll keep on happening. 

There has to be 3-4 changes, players have to be accountable for that sh1t last weekend. Mendy need a game off to get his head in the right place, he's been way too casual with his passing. It's happening every game, its lucyky we haven't been punished more.

It's odd how Chalobah seems to have completely fallen out of favour. I know he's not a world beater and he's got a mistake in him, but I think he should get another chance. Koulibaly is out, Silva looked dodgy. There's room for him.

If Tuchel insists on the usual formation, I'd maybe go something like:

Kepa/Mendy

Azpilicueta   Silva   Chalobah

James   Kovacic   Gallagher   Cucurella

Mount   Pulisic

Sterling

Where have I said Ampadu has to sit deep in front of the back four and not do anything else? I am making a huge leap of faith Gol and guessing that he CAN carry the ball forward when the situation allows. That he CAN get up and down with more pace than a tortoise with haemorrhoids when needed. Possibly COULD hit more accurate long balls. Certainly WOULD add some height and physicality.

Get over my opinion on Jorginho Gol. We need to look at other options in his position who have abilities and physical assets he doesn't.

But he's still playing the same position... Maybe just change the hashtag to #wedontneedJorginho

Chelsea 4 - 1 Leicester 

Gordon x 2.           Kepa (OG)

Fofana (OG)

Maguire 

All 5 goals assisted by Jorginho.

Edited August 25, 20223 yr by HazardousChoice

Kovacic has trained this week and is available for the game.

I reckon that means Conor drops out for him otherwise think TT sticks with the same side.

We need a result, so I think Tuchel will play it very safe, and go with age/experience ... which is why this has 1-1 written all over it 🙂 

Mendy

Azpilicueta, Silva, Cucurella

James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Chilwell

Havertz, Sterling, Mount 

Our goal will be a Jorginho penalty, won by Sterling.

It’s a must win game this.

after the horror show against leeds.

give Kepa a start in goal I think after mendy making a hash of things last week.

 

kepa 

azbi silva cucurella 

james jorginho kova chillwell 

mount broja sterling 

 

Is Broja fit ?

I agree but I feel Tuchel will bring Dave back in on the right, play Cucurella as LCB and bring in Chilwell. He can have his transition in to a back four in attack he likes but with it happening on the left instead of the right. 
 

Or he’ll just go with a back four that nobody is expecting. Either way I’ll still be doing a fence. 

Massive game.

Need to step up, or the pressure will rapidly come onto the club and TT.
