When did they start Sundays at 7:00pm?

He did have hamstring issues. Best to not aggravate it in a rushed game

Good point I recall the 4pms and 6pms yet 7pm is a bit unusual.

Even the smallest feeling of discomfort for players like Lavia and Fofana means they won’t be selected and it’s the right thing to do.

Lavia slips under the radar a bit as he’s never had a real run of games since he arrived but imagine the player we have when he can play every week.

It is in Halifax, Canada 🙂

Something to do with our game in Kazakhstan I imagine. It’s like a 16 hour flight or something.

I think today tells us wether we’ll challenge for the title or not. If we lose, we can forget about it and accept that we’re going for top 4, rather than the title.

It’s games like today that shows what the team is made of.

Hello my dear axman,

I'm just taking a safe option, how would if be if I predicted a 4-1 Chelsea massacre. Followed by more stuttering from Liverpool Arsenal and Citeh with us top of the table at Christmas.

Oh and I think nkunku lavia and or Felix might make the bench today

How about you come join Zetas prediction league and try and win an amazing Chelsea themed prize 👌

Score 3 and we win today. Get at it from the start 

It might be enough. I think we need a minimum of three, Brentford will score at least two bit with Sanchez in goal could be more.

Big loss. Very much the kind of opponent we need him for.

We’ll be fine.

Do we have a lot of injuries suddenly?

No James, Badiashile, Fofana, Lavia, Mudryk, Felix or Neto.

Neto is suspended, James and Fofana we know why the rest maybe they are resting

I doubt Felix and Mudryk are being rested, they didn't play midweek or start vs Tottenham.

Badiashile is a surprise.

Lavia is hamstring related. Precaution.

Mudryk not over an infection. I believe respiratory.

Felix muscle issue.

James and Fofana we know already.

Neto banned.

 

Tosin playing is a needed risk. After playing in Kazakhstan Brentford would be smart to target him and Gusto.

Our bench all play iñ Kazakhstan except Nkunku.

 

Brentford side:

Flekken, Roerslev, Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Yarmoliuk, Damsgaard, Mbeumo, Wissa.

We have to hope the front 4 have a really good game as it won’t we our defence that win us this game at all.

Exactly how I feel about it, winning today would be huge,  but I think a draw is very possible with who we have missing in this match.

I do like the combination of a technical defender alongside a powerhouse one, brings back the times of JT and Ricky.

However Tosin and Colwill are not of that caliber and Gusto has been a mess this season. So I agree with your point.

We know we need Palmer, but as importantly Nico needs to show up. We cannot afford to be waiting chances today. They are a very good team.

I keep saying that, and it is true. Brentford are a very good, well organized side. No chance we give them a heavy beating. 

Any win would be massive.

A loss is very possible too. 4, 2 and 2. The amount of goals they have scored in The last 3 matches at the Bridge.

And Badiashile and Mudryk are rubbish. 🙂 

Sanchez and Jackson - I don't get it!! 

My god every big result have gone our way this weekend.

We must WIN this game!
