i think Havertz is good to bring on when we have to defend, useful for defending corners, much more than Sterling

He needs to bloody hold the ball up well for it to be effective. Else we will just continue to invite pressure.

in my opinion he's half decent in that 

he has had some games where his link up play has been really good, but unfortunately very inconsistent 

i personally would have played Havertz and Felix

Camavinga or Valverde at fullback most likely.

Hazard and Rudiger both on the Madrid bench.

Not really a surprise for Eden, but I would have thought Rudiger would make their line up for this one.

Aye they have a cracking back 3 they could play with him, Milatio and Alaba.

Frank backing up the previous talk with a show of faith for Sterling. Let's hope Raheem doesn't let him down.

I wonder if James Cordon gave Frank a call and told him to drop Haverzt...😃

Should be those odds for Chelsea to score period lol

Wtf is Sterling doing up top? Could get at real for pace but pick him over Mudryk?

it's worth a try for half a game, at least Kai isn't on the waste a space.

Great to have Silva back. Could be a night to bring back Jose's bus.

Half decent, most National league strikers would be better at holding the ball up

Anything more than a two goal difference in Madrid favour coming back to the Bridge and it’s game over.

 

Solid starting line-up though

All the players will be in Kante’s space, he owns the whole pitch. 

Thank you that genuinely made me chuckle suspect the night is all downhill from here!

Experience and nothing more

COME ON CHELSEA

Pretty quiet pre-match topic. We all just depressed already?

Just tuned in. Is Fofana injured? Because Koulibaly being picked ahead of him is just plain bonkers.
