I think that is close and would epect Mount and not Broja to start and the subs could well be interesting if we do not deliver in the first.

 

I reckon Thomas will go with mount. But he has been very ineffective this season. Thus, I went with broja as he showed more than mount did when he came on against Southampton. 

 

I like 4-2-3-1 for this one, but I am benching Mount and Havertz for sure.

Mendy

James - Fofana - Koulibaly - Chilwell

Jorginho - Kovacic

Pulisic - Gallagher - Sterling

Broja

 

First sub will be Ziyech on for Pulisic after 20 minutes. Second sub will be Mount on for Ziyech at half time 🙂 

Time to have a look at Gallagher in CAM behind Broja.

What incentive do Havertz and Mount have to  raise their game and perform consistently when they know they won’t be dropped? 
 

Broja and Pulisic for me please.

One of them should start because to me they are quite similar and they don't offer alot different to eachother. Sterling looks so refreshing because he can beat a man as we are so used to Kai and Mason in the attack when both are them are square pegs in round holes.

Im expecting a back 5 as we simply don't have enough protection over a back 4.

At the very least i'd start Mount. 

Havertz shouldn't be anywhere near the pitch. 

                 Mendy

      Fofana T.Silva Koulibaly

James Joginho Kovacic Cucurella

          Gallagher Mount
                 Sterling

Easy win.

I would like to see us go to a back 4, but with the way we have played this season so far, IDK if we are ready quite yet. I imagine we will see the typical starting 11, maybe plus Fofana?

Mendy | Azpi\Fofana Silva Koulibaly | James Kovacic Jorginho Chilwell | Mount Havertz Sterling

What I'd like to see:

Mendy | Azpi\Fofana Koulibaly Chalobah | James Kova Gallagher Chilwell | Sterling Broja Mount

I think Mount and Havertz needs to start from the bench but I just don't know if I'd want Ziyech or Pulisic starting. Maybe with an attitude change, I'd go with Pulisic, but currently, I just don't feel confident with Pulisic at the moment. So, ultimately, I'm sticking with Mount.

I'd like to see Silva get the day off. Don't really think we want him playing 3 times in 7 days and then probably need to call on him on Tuesday in the CL.

Fofana, if ready, I imagine would start in the back. But, maybe Tuchel wants to give him a little more time and get him ready for Tuesday -- idk if we play Tuesday or Wednesday and I ain't lookin either, I'm just gonna keep on guessing. If so, then I imagine we will see Azpi in that RCB spot tomorrow; maybe Chalobah but I doubt it. 

Jorginho - I'm all set with watching him get ran passed time and again. I know he helps us maintain possession and stuff but, he is a liability defensively and gets dribbled passed by average players on the ball. Oh, he has no pace whatsoever. It's just a bad combination. My only concern is that Kova isn't ready to start yet, and he will then go to Jorginho by default.

Regardless, we need three points tomorrow lads!

Zakaria isn't available tomorrow. 

I believe the last days made some positive vibe, new signings, some promising ways to track back and climb on the table.

Not sure if Tuchel will play 4 in the back, I assume will play the same lineup just with Fofana in the team.

What I'd like to see tomorrow:
 

-------------------- Mendy --------------------

James ------ Fofana ---- Koulibaly ----- Chilwell

---------- Kovacic --------- Jorginho --------

Ziyech ------------ Gallagher --------- Sterling

----------------- Broja ----------------

 

Time to give some rest to Thiago Silva, time to give a slap to Mount and Havertz. 

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!

We are struggling to pick up points against rubbish sides of late, and we are boring as watching paint dry.

I have no solution for the former, but for the latter his cameo clearly showed CP is good for a laugh so he must start!

West Ham has some of the best players in the whole league right now, Paqueta and Declan BasmatiRice so this is a high quality feature for us so we'll show up I believe

Mushroom Pilau with mine please.

The line up is irrelevant. Two more points dropped.

Only 2?

We’re not ‘as’ bad at home, so yeah, a draw seems a likely outcome.

Think we’ll win this one.  Think I’ve found a pattern:

sh*t vs Everton

good vs Spurs

sh*t vs Leeds

good vs Leicester (considering down to 10)

sh*t vs Southampton

good vs West Ham

I know I’m a genius, get to the bookies and thank me later.

Has to play Fofana, but fear like most Chelsea signings, we need 2-4 weeks to get them up to speed.  God forbid they come in and play a forward pass.

3 points is a must.  No idea what to expect, and think West Ham will be really up for this and see it as a game to kick start their season.

No more 442.

343

Please 

Mount - Borja - Sterling 

Jorgi - Kova

Cucu - Koula - Silva - Fofana - James

 

Woke up in a good mood,two minutes reading through the forum of misery and I'm back to bed......UP THE CHELS !

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Please just beat this lot Chelsea!
 

Broja should be starting. It’ll be a joke if Havertz starts again.

I really don’t know why you bother. You don’t like anything you read on here, and you don’t really say anything other than that you don’t like what’s posted and up the Chels. If I were you I’d just go to the match, discuss it with your likeminded friends at the game and give this place a wide birth. Maybe there’s another forum that only says positive things, but I doubt it very much.

Anyway, enjoy the game and let’s hope for a good performance and a much needed win.
