Red Bull has 40 wins on the bounce at home. Surely won’t be easy..

You sure about that Stat? They drew their opening group game at home to Milan.

How many poor games to Havertz, Sterling and Aubameyang need to have before they’re benched? The lineup doesn’t fill me with confidence… fingers crossed Potter has got it right.

You fight like a dairy farmer. 

We need to see performances from Cucurella, Sterling and Pulisic.

BT just said it. Must be true..

????? Potter has lost his mind?

Don't worry. It's too early in his tenure to do that. Our managers usually start out as geniuses with results going our way but by the end look clueless and out of ideas. 

Ewww Sterling and Pulisic at wingback. . . 

 

I feel like the defense is going to be exposed a bit here.

Maybe he’s doing it backwards?

Wouldn’t judge any of them if they have a bad performance since he is playing them out of position. 

I assume Potter’s not expecting to do much defending today? Hopefully he’s right, we’ll see…

BT need to check their stats then, because their last 3 home games in the league have been draws.

How are Salzburg able to sponsor themselves? Isn’t that against FFP rules?

Bloody hell as Auba trench foot ?

Was it Martin ‘The Kite’ Keown again? He likes to make up bollocks!

Well the initial signs are not terrible. . .  Some chances have been created.  No major chances to Salzburg. 

Havertz is playing a fair bit deeper than Aubameyang - we're basically man-marking their midfield diamond Bielsa-style.

Auba is terrible, got no touch at all.

Does Aubameyang have lead boots on tonight? His touch has been atrocious.

Lovely switch from Chalobah

He’s got Chelsea No. 9 Syndrome - it rots the brain. 

Any links???

What the hell is Kova doing wearing his full kit? 

Why do we not leave anyone forward when defending corners? Noticed it last game as well. We clear it and it comes straight back because no-one is up there to contest the ball.

Chalobah bossing it again with no upset tummy insight!

*SIGNS IN* --  Sees Broja is still not starting, and Puli and Sterling are at Wing-Back. 

*POURS A DRINK* -- Hoo-boy.
