Big match for Enzo the elder tonight. 

If Cole actually is in need of rest I hope we don't push him. Last thing we need is him out for a Reece spell.

Reece and Malo are injured. If Caicedo plays at right back he can invert into midfield.

Makes no sense to play him out of position when you can just use Vegia or have Dissai there and just have the LB invert.

Should just make him our offical ref. He can move down to the fulham road, get a ride on the team plane or coach, save on his travel expenses that way.

I was thinking we were the 17:30 kick off for most of today. I am not out tonight so can watch it but could end up wishing I was. 3 points please.

Would make more sense to have another CB then instead of Cucurella. 

When we're defending you want us to play a centre back at left back in a back 4? Doesn't make any sense. Better having Cucu there. Remember he'll only be playing as a very wide left side centre back when we're attacking. 👍

Come on Chelsea - give us those Wolves away vibes again.  Need to be clinical and exploit the space away from home.

Think they’ll be targeting him at CB. Remember we don’t transition to a back 4 right away when we lose the ball.

Last 2 Italian Chelsea managers to face Bournemouth ended in a 4 - 0 and 3 - 0 defeat.

Maybe you should start texting your friends about going out tonight!

No enzo

Vega in midfield

No wonder why Nkunku doesn't look motivated. The only minutes he can find are against teams like Servette.

Colwill captain today ? Caicedo perhaps ?

The bench is well strong

Kinda like that team bar Disasi of course. Strong midfield so hopefully Bournemouth don’t cut through us like Palace did in the 2nd half. 

With our bench and first 11 we should have zero excuses really.

Is he not fit? Bizarre decision otherwise. 

Midfield is a concern. For all the spend, not enough depth. Got their work cut out today. God forbid Caicedo gets injured - we’d have zero established CMs available. 

Can we go back and sign Duran Duran?

Starting Disasi and Cucurella when Acheampong and Chilwell are available? Maresca is a right lickspittle isn't he?

Both sides are at war; no matter what risk you take each side will blame the other. It's the perfect opportunity to do whatever the f**k you want.

Or maybe he's just bad at football?

I would have preferred Sancho ahead of Neto. Better to have both Neto and Felix come on together if we need them, as they understand each other's game, as Sancho does with Noni and Cole.

So the standard 433 with no inverting player it is then, like at home to City.

 

Sanchez

 

Disasi

Fofana

Colwill

Cucurella
