Game will start when we bring on James and Pedro. Hopefully it won't be too late by then.

Come on you Blues! 💙

Well that’s not a great team

and if Cole Palmer is struggling for fitness/form we could be in trouble.

Only attacking option to change the game who has any quality is Joao Pedro.

Estevao has apparently travelled back to Brazil due to personal reasons.

Why so many changes? I'm not a fan of this line up at all.

Cause Eghbali picks which players play. Medical staff dictate the minutes. Coach the tactics.

LR must believe that Garnacho Gittens and Delap are capable of an exceptional performance, tbf weve seen a glimpse of that from Garnacho but of late none of these three have delivered much for whatever reason. I know LR trusts them and keeps telling us all that they are outstanding but i think hes gonna struggle in his press conference if they fall flat today.

West Ham is a three - nil opportunity and i would expect nothing less. No messing LR!

Santos and JPedro on at half time or 60 minutes, If its not working.

If its a total sh*tshow, James Cucurella JPedro Santos asap.

Lineup with two man pivot and the wingers doesn’t fill me with confidence. Let’s see what they can bring. Wonder where Estevao is

Well medical staff and Mr E picking the team again.

The match-day happy chappies out in force again. Bless.

Back in Brazil. Personal reasons.

Can't understand these constant rotations. Joao Pedro is going through a purple patch, any other team would keep playing him, but what do we do? rotate. I get rotating 1 or 2 players, but we are rotating 7.

Understandable with Estevao if back in Brazil. But our three most in form players of J Pedro, James and Estevao all missing.

Other than that cup game and one cross, I’m yet to see anything of significance from Gittens. Today needs to be the day he grows on the pitch.

Hopefully santos comes on at half time and we revert to a stronger midfield.

Oh dear, that's usually something unpleasant.

Reece has started the last four games in a row to be fair. This would have been his fifth start in fifteen days. Plus we have Arsenal away on Tuesday.

Didn't someone make a graph with the changes in the back four for the CL matches? That painted a ridiculous picture.

You never know, it might be a positive thing. He had a shag booked in that he can't get out of, or maybe flying to Brazil was the easiest way to get a dentist's appointment.

I just don’t understand the lack of minutes Josh is getting.

We’re all well aware of the player Badiashille is, we don’t need any more exposure to it.

We have on our hands the potential for a generational CB that won’t even cost us a penny yet we never let him see the pitch? What am I missing.

Oh bollox just seen Taylors little sh*tzu face 🫣

Wan-Bissaka obligatory goal

Am sure he thinks they are all "outstanding"

And this is why you don’t change your whole f**king team

Totally on Sanchez that one. Nothing attempt
