No more messing about. Back to a back 3. It's the one thing that's consistently worked over the years.

Palmer and George cutting inside from the wide areas. Gusto and Cucurella bombing forward into that space or to support with overlaps.

Enzo and Caicedo doing their best Fabregas and Kante impersonations.

Even if we win, you just know it’s not going to be a convincing win.

First time I’m wondering, should I bother watching the game. I don’t feel any connection to the club anymore

Datro Fofana as centre back? That’s a new one.

Love how everyone is convinced of a win, has a draw written all over it. We score early and revert back to type, Southampton snatch a late draw.

Must... remain... positive...

Nkunku has been poor recently as has most of the team, however I hope we start him in this to regain confidence. He got a goal and assist in the reverse fixture and this is the kind of game where you are hoping he grabs a goal and gets going.

Does the forum pick the first image in the thread as the thread thumbnail?

Might start having some fun with the MOTM threads...

More of the same ! All pretty predictable ...

Chelsea: Jorgensen, Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo (c), Palmer, Nkunku, Sancho, Neto

Substitutes: Sanchez, James, Acheampong, Fofana, Samuels-Smith, Amougou, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Mheuka

It’s going to be a long night with Nkunku & Sancho as the wide players

They've picked a giant up front.

Cowill to be bullied again

Nah, Nkunku plays CF

Southampton's handful of positive results are mainly against teams that have beaten us recently LOL

That will be even crazier considering Neto worked well as a false 9 against Villa.

Young eager lads on the bench, and we'll probably only see Fofana for 15 minutes.

Didnt Nkunku play CF and score at Southampton?

I see a 1-2 Southampton win unfortunately coming here.

Our bench after spending a lot of money is embarrassing really.
