The Rudiger to Chelsea rumours make interesting reading.

No they don't. Internet clickbait tripe. Ask yourself: he's 32, dodgy knee, past his best, in what way does he fit into anyone's recruitment strategy let alone ours?

CANT SEE HOW MAHTITS ROSENOIR HAS HAD TIME TO INSTALL THE NEW SYSTEM SO I EXPECT A 4-2-3-1, ALSO CAICEDO HAS TO PLAY AS HES SUSPENDED FOR THE SEMI FINAL AGAINST ARSENAL

JORGENSEN

GUSTO TOSIN BADIESHILLE HATO

SANTOS CAICEDO

ESTEVAO PEDRO GARNACHO

DELAP

Unless he's warned off it by the medical staff I would expect him to start Reece.

He's talked about leadership and attitude, would make sense to start his captain in his first game in charge, help to set his desired tone.

Good game to showcase all the Clearlake talent !

Slonina

Gusto - Disasi - Badiashile - Wiley

Venom2011 - Fernandez

Kellyman - Paez - Garnacho

Washington

Still can't get Gittens into the team LOL

All for a strong team tbh. So done with the abused rotation.

The current recruitment strategy for centre backs has been nothing short of pathetic and we need a wiser, calmer, head back there. Even on one leg he could probably play better than what we have.

You forgot Sterling, though I guess he is Todd's mistake after all lol

This game is getting more dangerous as the other results come in.

Please please don't mess about

Up the Chels!

Upset Weekend!!!!!!

Yes, we have a nasty habit of significantly overestimating ourselves and underestimating the quality of the opposition we play. We need to go into this hard, fast and business like. Get it won and then experiment. Instead we'll be doing little flicks and round the corners by players who have no right to underestimate their opponents

Like any game of football if the other lot are bang up for it, which I expect they will be, it could be a tough evening.

I expect a similar evening to Cardiff, although he may wish to start with a stronger team and remove when (hopefully) he can. Expect a lively atmosphere.

I suppose even if we do lose Palace have the crown for this FA Cups biggest upset.

Up the Chels!

Let’s see who winstanley picks

That's Aston villa goal.. "Thats what happens when you pass the ball forward" good goal

Eghbali.

Could be Stewarts turn to play puppeteer for him though.

Another lovely goal from villa, why can't we do that 🙂

Chelsea: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Tosin, Badiashile, Hato, Caicedo (c), Andrey Santos, Garnacho, Buonanotte, Gittens, Marc Guiu

Substitutes: Sanchez, Chalobah, Fofana, Essugo, Fernandez, Neto, Estevao, Joao Pedro, Delap

Disgusting side.

Might be getting knocked out 3rd round with that line up.

very dangerous selection.

That team is... shocking

Rosenior still avoiding the James RB vs DM debate LOL

Very similar side to what was picked against Cardiff. Should be enough but running a bit of a risk. Surprised to not see james or palmer on the bench just in case.

ESTEVAO PUT IN A TRANSFER REQUEST SON

GITTENS AND BUONANOTTE, NO WAY DID MAHTITS ROSENIOR PICK THAT TEAM

Agreed.

No reason to be putting more minutes on Caicedo with Essugo on the bench.

Should have left him at home.

Also not sure why we need to try and increase Bounanotte value for Brighton, some side hussle with them perhaps? Surley should be pushing Estevaos value up or some pure profit with Reggie Walsh.

Otherwise the other 9 selections from Liam Eghbali make sense.
