Reece also injured?

Everytime I heard Reece is not training for precaution, I expect him to be out for at least 1 month 

Deivid Washington, Shim Mheuka, Ronnie Stutter, Donnell McNeilly .... your club needs you to step up to levels of ability you didn't know you had !

Other than one of them, I think I'd try Noni up front, with Cole RW and Nkunku in the #10. 

Nailed on to be Cucurella as a false 9 isn't it LOL

 

DUNK IS OUT, NOT THAT IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

TRY AN ACADEMY STRIKER (OR TOSIN UP FRONT,  JOHN CHARLES, PAUL WARHURST, HOW ABOUT VICTOR OSIMHEN ALL STARTED AS CB'S)

Jesus christ, this bloke is hopeless, if George plays as a number 9 then we might as well concede now

Neto surely has to be the best option for now?
 

I've never known a coach to speak so openly about all the qualities his players lack rather than focus on their strengths.

Jorgensen

James Tosin Colwill Cucurella

Caicedo Enzo

Madueke Palmer Sancho

Neto

Isn't James injured again? Thought he had not trained this week.

Washington went back to Santos on loan mate.

Said just rested him but he's available.

I never saw that confirmed ...  certainly no news article etc on club website, and which still has him listed in the U21s and not the loan pool. Ditto Transfermarkt and other web sources 🙂

Hmm, guess we will see soon enough.

See if our match day squad has 0 strikers in it.

Luckily I will be out for a valentine's dinner with the wife so wonj't have to watch this sh*t. Let's just say Chelsea won't be the only ones getting pounded tomorrow night.

She wearing a strap on then?

Jorgensen

James  Tosin  Colwill  Cucurella

Enzo  Caicedo

Madueke  Palmer  Sancho

Nkunku

I don't think we should kid ourselves that he'll come up with anything new. He might mix it up and play Gusto RB. 

Well, he said he has several options for striker ... that worries me as he also said he had several options to get the best out of Enzo Fernandez 🙂

Yeah, one of those big dragon ones.

I don't think it matters what line-up he puts out. We are going loose 1-3 and of course we will score first and then loose interest in the game and allow them to score 3.

He walked right into that one.

And no one will really try, from the start of the game until the finish.

And then out of it. And then into it again.

Blaming Maresca for Nkunku being a bone idle c**t? Nah that performance was a shocker. c**t got given a chance and decided to stick 2 fingers up to everyone including the fans.

I expect the reason he wasn't given a start before is because his performance in that match mirrors his performance in training. Bone idle c**t who isn't good enough for the Prem.

Based on minutes played Nkunku has scored at a higher rate than any other player this season. Your opinion of other strikers that score at a lower rate must be really low! 

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Team I think he will pick this evening : 

                    Jorgensen

Gusto  Adarabioyo  Colwill  Cucurella

              Caicedo  Fernandez

Madueke       Nkunku           Sancho

                      Palmer

Yeah, something along those lines.

Such a shame Lavia isn't fit and we sent Carney out on loan, as those two would be in my starting line up over Enzo and Madueke.
