Ok my preferred line up picking time. Assuming these are all fit I would like to see:

 

Mendy

 

James

Chalobah

Silva

Hall

 

Zakaria

Casadei 

 

Hutchinson 

Gallagher

Carney

 

Havertz

That’s a young inexperienced side, I think you would get big odds on that being the lineup.

Oh no chance mate, no chance at all. 

 

I would pick that side as I would only have doubts about 1 player (havertz) giving his all for the club from that 11. If Broja was not injured, I would have 0 doubts. I also have given up on Sterling, Ziyech, Pulisic et al giving a sh*t and producing for us. I have more belief in Hutchinson, Hall, Carney and Casadei creating and scoring for us.

Would be awesome if Potter throws a curve ball and both Hutchinson and Carney start

Will be interesting reading this thread after the game. Will see how the mood is at the game before, during and after depending on the result.

Who will partner jorgi will be the most interesting choice. Is it going to be Carney? Zakaria? Or Potter will throw a curve ball and play Mount and Gallagher in the middle. 

Match Day !

Come On Chelsea!!

Just want to see a good performance today. For me that will be equally as important as the result.

I can even accept an unlucky draw but if we look as passive as we have recently and don't press Bournemouth and let them have the ball a lot of the time while we sit deep instead of pressing I will not be a happy camper.

Looking forward to being back at the Bridge. Here's to a good win especially after results yesterday. Fun and games getting to and from the ground due to the rail strikes. 

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.  Back to business today. If you didn't get a chance to watch or listen to the Sportico interview with Eghbali etc its worth the entire 43 minutes and provides a good insight to where the Americans buying into Europe will be trying to take their ideas especially commercially and from Clearlake's perspective how badly managed our club was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8BuZ99MxyY

So with Potter seemingly not going anywhere let's see how he fairs until the end of the season beginning with today. He has to win today, and I don't means scrape a win 1-0, it has to be convincing or he'll lose a majority of the fan base and things will heat up for him, backed by the owners or not.  We have to keep in touch with the top 4 or any hope of European football will be down the sh*tter.  3-0 nothing less. 

 

Don’t really know what to expect from us today. Wonder how often I have said that…

Score draw my prediction.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. Back to business today, but which Chelsea will show up?

Seems like it's anybodies guess.

Hopefully the women so we’ve got a chance of some points. 

GAMEDAY!!!

Maybe the world cup break will bring us some positive into the team. We definitely need to look better and players need to step up. 

We need this win, we need to show our top performance and keep it as long as we can.

COME ON CHELS!!!

Hoping for fast,flowing football,and a win by a few goals,not expecting it though,COYB !

I want us to put in a display. Top4 looks unlikely, unless we go on a good run 

If we lose, after GP had the WC to settle and look more at everything, we are f**ked!

No excuses, 3 points today! Anything less and Roman would've made that call. I don't think Todd will!

Thing is I expect it to get worst before it gets better and I will remain hopeful. Hopium my drug of choice with Chelsea!!!

Hearing Zakaria starts

Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Jorginho, Silva, Pulisic, Sterling, Mount, Zakaria, James, Koulibaly, Havertz, Cucurella.

Subs: Bettinelli, Aubameyang, Chalobah, Gallagher, Azpilicueta, Chukwuemeka, Humphreys, Hutchingson, Hall.

If this is true I'm quite happy with that (with the exception of Pulisic).

 

 

Confirmed line up

Kepa; James, Silva, KK, Cucurella; Jorginho, Zak; Mount, Sterling, Pulisic and Havertz

4231 I think

Happy with the lineup, formation, and bench. Fingers crossed we have turned a corner.
