Tbh we'll likely get our usual draw. 

Yeah this will clash with Taskmaster so it can f**k off. Priorities. 

Hopefully Frank starts to practice what he preaches, rather than making himself look a hypocrite with his team selection.

You could point out he is using Lewis Hall. Bet he would not be if either Chilwell or Cucurella was fit.

 

In any case one of his last 2 chances to do so here. 

 

Kepa

 

Brooking

Fofana

Chalobah

Hall

 

Enzo

Carney

Gallagher

 

Madueke 

DD Fofana

Mudryk

 

Give the armband to Trev.

Can't pick Azpi, rest Silva, Mudry deserves a game, other than that it's free pick of whatever we left with.

This one will be ugly, United will aim to wrap up top 4 this game, and couldn't have wished a better team to play against.

MU need 1 point to secure CL football so that is their motivation. We don't have anything. Pride to wear the shirt...not really. That is not an actual motivation for players. Like it or not.

Our new players don't even know what it is to be a Chelsea player. They have only witnessed chaos and losses. That is not our so called DNA. 

Anyway. I hope at least one player shows something positive in this match. Hopefully someone like DD Fofana or Hall.

This used to be an important fixture.

Dunno about the rest of that lineup but I would be happy to give that midfield a go. Probably be a flop but this season is a writeoff  anyway.

Ideally I would like to see Hall in his natural midfield role too.

Me too. At what point did someone decide he's a LB?

Would Hall have a future here at midfield?

He's way mature for his years. Good technically. The sort of young player Pochettino could work on. Give him a try.

Chelsea Performance Bingo

- Sterling misses a golden chance from a beautiful pass by Enzo

- Gallagher gets a yellow card. 

- Hall misses a good chance/hits the post. 

- Azpilicueta gets burned by the winger. 

- Havertz stands over a FK. 

If anyone interested i'll probably be hosting a Twitter Space before and after this game tomorrow. Its a nice tool for verbal debates which are sometimes easier than written. If anyone here would be interested in taking part then met me know, some fellow shedenders would be fun.

Exactly what we need from Pochettino. No more buying Koulibalys when we could just play Colwills, no more buying Cucurellas when we have Maatsens etc.

Only buy if you find someone exceptional, like a Haaland, a Allison, a Rodri, a Ward-Prowse or a Kane.

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Turns out I’ve got tickets to go see Phil Wang tonight so this and Taskmaster will have to f**k off.

Tuchel used him there first didn’t he?

Did you sneak in Ward Prowse?

You beat me to it! He's a dead-ball wizard but, otherwise, a pretty pedestrian midfielder.

Munk would be disappointed if I did not ;)

Sacrilege! Lol

I'd sure like to win this one.  At least put some pressure on ManU to get a result next weekend.

Much better lineup from Frank

What is the line-up?
