Matchday thread for the Premier League Match vs Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

dirtiest team/football in PL back then

"I'll tell you now and i'll tell you firmly, I dont ever wanna go to Burnley"

John Cooper Clarke.

I hope they don’t fire Parker before the game. We don’t need to be playing a team with potential manager bounce.

A midweek without us having a game before we play Burnley!

How rare is this!

This but with Chalobah instead of Fofana for me

3 points nothing else will do. If we are serious about a top 4 Liam needs to play his strongest team now till seasons end. We have some tough fixtures around the corner. Utd and Liverpool are the only real teams around us. Brentford etc will start to fade with 10 games left…

Just win and relegate them.

Players have been away, given time off by Rosenior for a mini holiday.

I'd still like further rest for Enzo and Caicedo. The benefit of having them fully rested and ready to go for the end of season run in could make a massive difference.

Lavia took part in full training this week. Give him the first half, and James the second half in his place.

Lavia played the first half for the U21s today against Leeds. Think he needs to pass some more fitness tests by playing with the youth squad before he gets back on the bench for the first team. My guess is he will slowly be introduced back starting with Wrexham in the FA Cup. Maybe even get like 20-25 minutes at Villa if we need to protect a lead. But surely won't be given a high intensity PL match as a starter anytime soon.

Aye I have seen that. Yeah we have to try and slowly get him back cause another break down would be terrible for him.

I don't expect it to happen was just hoping for a way to manage the game with Moi and Enzo rested. I do think them being at the tip of their games is key for the remainder of the season.

In case I don’t get on here tomorrow before the game.

The usual Pre Match Saying.

Match Day

Come On Chelsea!

I wonder if Jesse Derry will be part of the squad. With Gittens out long term we have a spot open for another left sided attacker.

He fits our age profile so yeah maybe.

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Okay,so obviously I’ve got on here!!😀😀😀

Ideally yes, but not a chance. I think the bench will be Sharman-Lowe, Badiashille, Sarr, Gusto, Josh, Estevao, Garnacho, Delap and Guiu.

Burnley are down, relegation fodder, absolute pants.

Nothing less than demolishing them and three points please.

IF WE DONT BEAT THESE THEN WE DONT DESERVE TO FINISH IN TOP 5, BURNLEY HAVE CONCEDED THE MOST SHOTS IN PL THIS SEASON, SO JUST SHOOT DONT TRY AND WALK IT IN

With our current LW options he shouldn’t just be in the squad… he should be starting.

Don't care how it happens, smoke these fools.
