So if Acheampong is not injured he may as well ask for a move.

Josh and Estevao loans in January.

I mean for one why are neither Rak Saki or Dyer involved? They I'll too?

For another it is one thing for us fans to not know about the rule chnage regarding players being cup tied for this, is completely another for the club and manager not to know, this is their job to know!

Dyer is on loan at Volendam in Holland I think ?

Agreed on the second part though LOL

They should demand that. Two most talented youngsters we have and both miss out here.

With Sanchez out, Jorgensen is the clear choice in goal as Slonina is pretty hopeless !

In defence, he rotates the full backs, and probably thinks Wes and Trev need the practice :-)

Midfield, Santos deserves his start, and the thinking on Enzo starting ahead of one of the academy lads, is probably that this game represents the best opportunity for Enzo to stat pad and impress our overseas fans.

Up front we have the opportunity to see all three of our left wingers in action, albeit two of them playing out of position LOL, plus our Cole Palmer deputy at #10.

this will be tricky enough, they're a well organised side. score lots of goals from set pieces

Big side as well. Average height 185.5cm vs our 181.5 this evening ...

Blondie needs to show his quality against these guys.

That first touch. 😬

Awful start to the game again, but look at Enzo Fernandezs 1st touch in this game, under no pressure just volleys the ball out for a throw. Sets the tone immediately.

Like weights on his ankles.

Does everyone apart from maresca know Chelsea never defendthe back post

Why do we insist on letting our sh*t defenders have the ball. We havent been out of box yet.

I think we'll get into their half some time soon
