Same as Brighton for me, would prefer Lavia to Enzo but don't believe he is ready to start such a game:

 

Sanchez

 

Gusto

Fofana

Colwill

Cucurella 

 

Caicedo

Enzo

 

Madueke 

Palmer

Sancho

 

Jackson

I believe I haven't said it for a long time, but I enjoying so much at the moment, especially with our offensive and dynamic game. 

We do need to work on our defensive and avoid conceding easy goals. I have faith in the progress and hope we will keep it up as far as we can!

------------ Sanchez --------------

Gusto - Tosin - Colwill - Cucurella

----- Caicedo -- Enzo -----

Madueke -- COLD P --- Sancho

----------- Jackson ----------

 

I'm a big fan of Nkunku but Jackson delivers so far. 

I'd play Tosin also against Wood.

 

COME ON CHELS!!!

Its a certainty CHO scores a goal against us. 

Sort of banana skin fixture for us recently so will take a win. 

No idea the team, just want the points... Probably have to score four to make the game safe. 

One those games where you wish you had a better keeper and better striker...

Having said that I'd expect us to beat them given the current form.

I'd prefer to see Neto starting and given a run in the 1st team - Madueke seems a bit selfish to me.

Cucu and Fofana a yellow away from missing Liverpool (both earned a ridiculous yellow from Taylor mind).

That really is mad given we are only 6 league games in to the season.

Cant believe he will play Noni over Neto, he's been rubbish the last three games, living off the back of his hat trick, same with Jackson, he needs to score, as for Sanchez he should be out..of the club

Fofana wont be such a loss, but Cucu will be a massive loss

Only side to take any points off Liverpool, beat them at anfield at that, and did us at the Bridge last season.

Best not underestimate them. Nuno will have a game plan.

They are a very good counter attacking side.

Low block and counter. Only faced one side in the league so far this season. Palace. And Forest are better than them imo.

Looking on the bright side again axman? Let's just pray we don't sell Palmer before kick-off tomorrow!!

Would need our owners to find another loophole Just. Transfer Window is closed.

Ah good. At least we have him until January. 

Just now, just said:

At least, though I would say minimum the summer. Cannot get the best price in the January sales. 

Those of game I dread.  Number of low block teams we’ve seen at the Bridge that do us on the counter is massive. I recall Leicester in 2018, and a nasty run of 1-0 home losses. 

Time to change that. Defensive focus and be clinical in attack. Stay patient and keep pushing - a moment of magic can do this. 

Oh, plus Enzo is coming off the manager of the month curse!  

I think Mr. Sancho might have a merry time against the tricky trees.

Lots of sideways and back passes till they find a way through a low block. Be prepared with the million angry posts in this thread later. Lol

 

Hopefully the kids can find a way through.

🤞

Match Day!

Come on Chelsea!!

My expectations are still shaky because of the past 2 years. So I expect nothing much from this game. 
I expect Nuno to setup with low block hard to beat and frustrate us!!

A hat trick of 4-2's ... the Chelsea goals from Jackson, Palmer, Sancho and Fofana.

An early goal will change everything, for us then they will have to come out at some stage...for them and they will put 11 behind the ball

No surprise in the team news : (assuming they meant Palmer as #10 and not Nkunku, who is also on the bench LOL)
