A loan player can only turn out against his parent club if the parent club agrees.

Surely we will agree and then instruct our players to put in long range shots, high into top corner over the little f**kers short arms.

5-0 Chelsea with Kepa not getting near any of them - Come On!!

Enzo Waffle!

 

Gusto and Lavia out but close to returning. 

James still out.

Seen it speculated Maresca will go back to a standard 433, similar to City, due to no inverting right back:

 

Sanchez

 

Disasi

Fofana

Colwill 

Cucurella

 

Veiga

 

Caicedo

Enzo

 

Palmer

Jackson

Sancho

Kepa will not be playing apparently as he is ineligible based on loan agreement. So it will likely be their backup keeper Mark Travers ready to come in and have a blinder 😉

My guess with Gusto will be a couple more weeks, but it sounds promising. Lavia hopefully available for selection next week but we will see. If this was last season. close would still mean 2-3 more months.

Travers will have a statue by Monday morning!  He'll be right up there with David McGoldrick

what do you 🤔 about outcome of late away KO after a waste of time international break tomorrow? 

A) Chelsea start brightly go ahead, then start passing sideways , 🍒 get an equalizer , put Chelsea under pressure for a nervy ending, end up getting a solitary point out of it or even worst case concede towards the end with no time to get back in it  

OR

B) Chelsea start brightly, go ahead then keep up the on the front foot play absorb any 🍒 pressure and put the game out of reach bagging 3 pts 

personally prefer B but we’ll probably see A unless Cole has a blinder

Yep, I believe so as he's done it during preseason.

Match Day!

Come on Chelsea!!

Trying to wake up after the international matches for real games...

Sanchez

Caicedo Fofana Colwill Cucu

Enzo

Madueke Palmer Nkunku Neto

Guiu

 

I want to see Sancho get a good half of football under his belt for us. 

Have I missed something why do so many people think Caicedo will be playing right back?

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

This is the team i would like to see

                         Sanchez

Cucurella   Forfana   Colwill  Chilwell (Veiga)

              Caseido          Enzo

Madueke           Palmer           Sancho

                          Nkunku

 

 

BUT he will play this

                              Sanchez

Disasi            Forfana    Colwill       Cucurella

                  Caseido           Enzo

Madueke              Palmer           Neto

                             Jackson

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

Injury crisis!

James and Gusto injured.

 

When did Fernandez and Caceido get back from South America ?

Saw something about Fernandez having a good game against someone, playing in a deep role ?

I think Maresca's Leicester had a good away record last year, hopefully we can do similar.

Anyway...

Come on you BLUES!

Our midfield is so easy to play through, it'll be torturous if Caceido isn't in midfield tonight.

Bournemouth were dangerous V Everton in the final minutes with crosses from the wings, something we usually find hard to deal with .

Come on you BLUES!
