Costa is starting for them!

Appreciate the rotation. Hopefully it doesn’t cost us.

Wish he was starting for us.

What a horrible team we've selected. Really not a fan of playing reserve teams in important league games.

Usually I'd be pissed at this many changes after a big win but on this occasion I'm glad to see Potter not afraid to do it.

With the insane schedule this season could well come down to who utilises their squad the best.

Mass rotation by GP with an  👁 on Tuesday I suppose. 4-3-3?  Dave in a 4 & Havertz as a false 9 & Pully starting does not fill me with confidence. 
Least the bench is strong if this line up goes tits up. 

Don't like the look of that starting line up. Can see us behind at half-time and having to bring the cavalry on to turn it around 2nd half.

Remember how it felt watching the games with no fans during covid, then you realise they're more than just customers.

True that. They're also scenery.

Can't wait for the I told you so's when he completes a 2 yard pass in the 10th minute.

i worry a bit about Azpi and Pulisic starting 

although he (Pulisic) could be the right wingback 

When James isn't starting it looks like a weak team to me can't help to feel that way.

I really hope this is 433 and not a 5 at the back with Ruben at wing back and Jorginho and Conor in the middle.

Chalobah/ Coulibaly against Costa is going to be a good battle

i would like to see Chukwuemeka come from the bench 

Coulibaly really needs to turn up today, if he gets an early yellow he will have a really difficult game

Would have still liked to have seen a striker on the pitch…Broja.

no idea what kind of system this is suppose to be

could be 3-5-2

could be 4-3-3

could be 4-2-2-2

Awful team on paper - Connor and Jorgi as a 2 scares me....

let's see. 

Not too confident in that line up. Trev is a plus but there isn’t too much attacking threat to be had. Feel like another tedious sideways backwards borefest is about to happen. 

Not a great fan of multiple changes. But why a false 9? Give Broja a try from the start.

I think it's a 4231 or a 433 with Jorgi, RLC and Conor in the middle.

I can only assume he's trying to play Mount into form

only thing i'm sure about position wise that is Koulibaly is a CB Jorginho plays in the pivot and Kepa is the Keeper 

Seven changes seems a lot but its a chance for the ones on the fringes to stake a claim.

Risk of over rotation there for me, but hopefully fresh legs bring an intensity we need. Also very concerned anytime Jorginho plays - no pace to cover defense and offers nothing going forward - weakest player in the team to me. Dave also pace a concern. 
 

Come on Chelsea!

Why are people moaning and a ball hasn’t been kicked if these players don’t show up against wolves then they need to be sold this is why you have a big squad. If GP played all the starters and someone gets injured some of you will be moaning why he didn’t rest certain players for Milan FFS.
