Makes total sense why Nkunku wouldn't travel. Especially if Felix hasn't.

Neto and Nkunku. Jeez that's a huge risk. The former is an important player to us.

I know he is suspended vs Brentford but still a big risk with this being the festive period.

 

If thar is the confirmed squad I would guess we start:

 

Jorgensen

 

Acheampong 

Disasi

Tosin

Veiga

 

KDH

Carney

 

Neto

Nkunku 

George

 

Guiu

Neto is suspended vs Brentford but yeah not sure why Nkunku has gone.

Aye I did mention that, but if he suffers one of his muscle injuries out in the cold, and he got injured regularly for Wolves, it won't just be Brentford he misses.

Nkunku also has a bad record with injuries too.

Felix less so. So why take Nkunku but not Felix? Is Maresca basically saying here Nkunku is at the bottom of the attackers list?

Could be a hint Felix is getting the nod on Sunday in a similar set up we used at Leicester.

Could be, though Madueke also did not go so it could be him that takes Netos spot.

Was watching this, around the 4:10 Mark, you can see 2 different groups. No idea if that shows for definite who's staying and who's going...I can't tell who's who with a lot of them, especially as you can barely see some of their faces.

 

 

Surely we don’t want Nkunku or Neto anywhere near the pitch given their injury history. Play the kids. 

Sounds like a good game to give Reece a run out.

All the ones going are wearing Pink tops.

And good riddance! Pink tops! Whatever next? Pink boots? Feckin snowflakes.

Messi wears pink, Busquets wears pink, Suarez wears pink.Alba wears pink. Embrace the Flamingo look, it could be the best thing we have ever done. 😉

They were all wearing pink, lol, right!? Oh jeez, have my eyes gone!?

I was working while watching that vid but I'll watch it again. They split into 2 distinct grps.

One with palmer, sancho, cucu...

The other had nkunku and a lot of the kids (faces I didn't recognise...). They started to remove their head gear towards the end and I finally saw their faces.

 

I'm going to watch it again now...my mind has played these tricks on me before while multitasking.

Knowing our luck he'd get a DVT sat on the plane

Nkunku not in the squad looking at the published list

                  Jorgensen

Acheampong Adarabioyo Disasi

                 KDH Veiga

     Neto Vale Carney George

                      Guiu

Phew...

 

Offical squad from our website:

 

Goalkeepers: Filip Jorgensen, Lucas Bergstrom, Max Merrick

Defenders: Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Renato Veiga, Josh Acheampong, Harrison Murray-Campbell, Richard Olise, Kaiden Wilson

Midfielders: Carney Chukwuemeka, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Kiano Dyer, Sam Rak-Sakyi, Harvey Vale

Forwards: Pedro Neto, Ato Ampah, Tyrique George, Marc Guiu, Shumaira Mheuka

 

Pedro Neto probably really regrets that booking vs Spurs now...

Hopefully we don't regret him playing on that frozen pitch...

A wise traveling squad. They should still win - there is more than enough there. 

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Surely Chukwuemeka gets a start here ? 

Given who has travelled, I'll revise my line up slightly :

I'd be tempted to move Veiga into midfield and start Vale at left-back. Josh can be part of the three in possession and Harvey can bomb forward to do his thing.

Yes I did contemplate Veiga in midfield as the pivot pairing did look a bit potentially lightweight, but I couldn't see who would play left back if I put Veiga there. We have a few actual academy left backs and none of them have made the trip ! I think Murray-Campbell is predominantly a centre back, although he has occasionally played as full back on both sides, so he could play LB in extremis I guess. Harvey I think will get some pitch time either on LW or as AM sub for Carney. I certainly hadn't considered him as a left back option, as I thought he was an attacking midfielder !

He's a maverick, a wild card. He can play basically anywhere. Plus I was thinking of him playing as an ersatz Cucurella in possession (so not a 'classic' left back by any means).
