Oh f**k I forgot to make other plans now I have to watch this bullsh*t!

Match day. No reason we shouldn’t be winning this but getting results at home has been a challenge. 

Bad results today we could be 10th. Good results and we’re 4th. Crazy. 

Come on Chelsea. Bring it. Want it. Be clinical and sort out the mistakes. Score 3 today and we win. 

KTBFFH!

Yeah, the perception of how we’ve been doing under Maresca will be heavily influenced by todays result I reckon

[Sexyfootball]

I'd be tempted to start Mudryk, or at least give him significant minutes off the bench, seeing as (a) he has found a modicum of form recently, and (b) he scored twice against the barcodes last season.

I dont like Gusto at left back, but Maresca is really showing he has some balls here by selecting Lavia over Enzo again. Love that

[POCH OUT]

CUCURELLA SHOULD BE STARTING

[El regreso]

Tough match Newcastle setup to counter attack and probably will get at least one or two clear cut chances based on our defence.

[JM7]

Cant help that we need Nkunku to be playing in this one. You know how Eddie Howe plays - basically like Stoke. They’ll crowd the box. You need to score scrappy goals. 

[Sconnie Blue]

No Gordon

[petre ispirescu]

Curious to see if it's James the one inverting, with Gusto more defensive to keep up with their wingers and full back's pace.

[2211]

Good to see Neto get a start again, he's looked lively in the last couple of matches.

Chilwell should be starting.

[Ukraine Bolt]

Livramento and Hall at full back, cheers i'm crying

[Sexyfootball]

Just 4 survivors (Gusto, Caicedo, Palmer, Jackson) from last season's starting XI in this fixture, which we won 3-2. I think we might need to score 3 again today !

Barnes is a problem though

I get the sentiment, but it is quite possible that both of them get torn apart by Neto and Madueke today 🙂

Not at all. They haven’t scored in open play in 5 games. 
 

Enter Robert Sanchez. 

[PhilH930]

Somewhat relieved to see no Gordon (pressing) and Joelinton (physicality).  Interested how our midfield, with inverted player, handles their midfield 3.  

Come on!

[TheBeard]

Diary. 2pm Sunday 29th - Prepare to watch Chelsea thrash Newcastle 1-1 (15 shots off target)

 

We need That Guy. A boss; the one that makes it all work like the winning machine it should be.................he doesn't play for us yet.

More fuel to target passengers that prevent us from winning a game we should be winning. Again…

Sky interviewing Zola and Flo pitchside......

Match day! Solid line-up, I think Neto deserved his start. 

Reece starting 2 games back to back seems very risky, but I'll take it!
