I hope I'm wrong but an early exit coming up. Shades of St. Gallen if people remember that. And we had a better team then

We will score, I'm sure.

Am I wrong in saying I want a strong team here? 

They beat Signal 7-1 today.

 

I'm not confident 🤣.

Imagine the shame when we lose to napkin FC.

Yeah and RDM broke his leg at their gaff.

Absolutely we go strong here.  It's our best chance of a trophy this season and whatever our first team ends up being needs playing time to gel.  I'd go with similar starting 11 to today (injuries allowing) bar I'd drop Jackson and Enzo and start Guiu and Neto.  Oh and swap keepers.

St. Gallen was one season. I think we also lost to Hapoel Tel Aviv another season in the same round.

Worried about the crowd at the bridge sept 1 against palace if we don’t win this one and then drop a clunker again at wolves. Winstanly and Stewart should be very nervous about some sort of chant featuring them and f**king off starting.

 

its not even on the players really, and booing them won’t change anything, but my god is it gross that we’re worried about Servette… in years past we’d have sent the academy on to deal with a conference league play in

We need to win the first leg comfortably, both to boost confidence and to ensure we can play some of the extended squad players in the second leg. 

I'd go Enzo plus rotation:

 

Jorgensen

 

Acheampong

Tosin

Badiashile 

Veiga

 

Enzo

Dewsbury-Hall

 

Madueke 

Felix

Mudryk

 

Guiu

Excuse my ignorance, but which country is Servette from? Give we have 40+ players to pick from, would not be surprised at all if we pick a completely different 11 from the City game.

This team could lose to an mls team no problem

Anyone have any idea how to watch this game? At one website it said we should look at clubs own streaming services but I can't see Chelsea offering the stream on their site...

Of course there are going to be a few changes, but I hope that we won't see a full different lineup. We still need to work on the system, gain confidence and show numbers. If we can win this game 10-0, then we should do it, simple as that. 

----------- Jorgensen ------------

Gusto - Tosin -- Colwill -- Veiga

---- Dewsbury-Hall - Lavia ------

Madueke -- Palmer --- Mudryk

--------- Nkunku --------

 

Once we see a good first half, Nkunku and Lavia could have their break. 

COME ON CHELS!!

I was at St Gallen . We had been staying with the ex brother in law at Dubendorf just outside Zurich and drove down

Terrible night and not just the score poor Robbie Di suffered a horrendous injury ( broken leg) 

Jörgensen

Acheampong Tosin Colwill 

Caicedo Veiga

Madueke Palmer Nkunku Neto

Jackson

Yeah, Joel Kitamirikes only game after half the squad refused to travel to Israel for security reason, if I remember correctly
