I just don't get why Malo Gusto is on the pitch!

Shall we have a whip round and buy this bloke some better clothes ?

Same old sh*t every game LOL

So he’s going for pace upfront to try and get in behind Barcelona??

I have zero idea how this plays out but it being £land Pep he will probably over complicate it.

Very happy with the team selection....Pedro Neto, as a striker, will pay big dividends. I can't fault the team selection at all.

Time will tell....

I dont want to always seem like team Maresca but I don't understand what's wrong with that coat. It looks quite nice to me!

We've won every PL game Gusto has started.

Quite like the team, barca play an incredibly high line and we've got the pace to get at them...

Come on chels 🔵

Looks very direct team. I would have liked to have seen Delap start, reckon he would bully them. But then I don’t think he’s done enough to warrant a start.

Lots of hype around this game but are Barca any good? Yes they have Yamal but surely not many others. Didn’t they draw 4-4 with Brugge?

Not sure if this works for everyone but I got a free trial of Amazon with this link

There's plenty he can be criticised for but I really don't understand the stick he gets for what he wears on the touchline. What's wrong with it ?

Neto is one of his work horses. Against a big Opponents I don't see him dropping him.

My worry in these kind of games is Maresca sees them as a way to show just how much of a super dooper tactical genius he is, he does the "Pep" thing of changing stuff for the sake of it and ends up with a mess of a team.

Neto false 9 when we have strikers as options?

No Club World Cup winner's badge I assume

Also no front-of-shirt sponsor

At least he's ditched the cursed salmon jumper...

Too casual and too youthful for someone who is supposed to be a middle aged authority figure.

I think it undermines him.

It's a very poor look compared to Mourinho Mk 1, Ancelotti, Guardiola etc etc

Not as if he can't do it ...

Looks like it yeah, not sure where the goals come from though no natural finishers there.

We miss Nico...

I have absolutely no idea how this plays out and anybody that says they do doesn't know what they are talking about.

Chelsea 4-3

Shows you his confidence in our striker options, reality is we downgraded from Jackson

I’m just glad Maresca doesn’t spend every and all match spitting like camel. The guys disgusting.

Whatever we say about maresca and I'm still not convinced, he did back the CL music to our midweek with a really young team and lots of injuries. I get the complaints about him but have to give him some credit too

They were playing the Liquidator in my local Tesco this morning. Must be an omen 😂

Come on Chelsea!!

Hopefully we are up for this one. Fast start please team !

Maybe we are playing our normal way except have dropped our striker to go with an extra deep midfielder.

LETS f**kING GO

If that little cnt rashford comes off the bench and scored my living room is going to get a makeover

LETS DO THIS!
