Fly to the UK day! Come on KLM!

And oh yeah, match day. Yay.

We have to try something different. Not that it'll happen but I'd like to see us go wing backs instead of wingers - our wingers output is miniscule regardless.

Sanchez

Josh - Trevoh - Hato

Gusto - Lavia - Caicedo - Cucurella

Enzo - Palmer

Pedro

Sanchez

Acheampong - Chalobah - Hato - Cucurella

Caicedo - Santos

Neto - Palmer - Fernandez

Joao Pedro

Derby match ... for the directors. A loss would reflect poorly on them more directly than usual. How can a club, from whom we've taken their best players and their sporting directors, beat us?! Hopefully, Caicedo and Cucurella are up for it because we need leaders on the pitch. Joao Pedro would also be useful right about now.

To be honest, I don't know if the current lack of form is down to the manager's inability to manage or the players losing all faith in him. I'm thinking it is the latter that is having the bigger impact but the former doesn't help.

I just don't think we're getting the best out of the players we have. If, say, a Gus Hiddink came in, I bet you'd see a difference immediately. Just from the way he sets up the team. When you have a striker like Delap up front, I'd argue that you should know you need to get the wingers to the byline to cross in. Instead of playing exactly the same as when you have Joao Pedro up there.

Taking about wingers, Neto has completely lost it. Ineffective. Runs a lot but does very little. Garnacho should just not get any further game time. I know it will hurt his resale value but it is painful to watch. Surely we have players from the youth team who can come in. They won't do any worse. At the moment, it is about application.

It is so embarrassing that at a time when Spurs are playing badly enough to be relegated, we're only slightly better than they are. Seriously; they are the ONLY team in worse form than us!

Not sure if there have been managers coming into a team in mid-season that have been sacked but I don't think I've seen anyone more fitting. Four defeats in a row, three of them coming at home, with no goals scored. I don't need to tell you what Abramovich would've thought of that!

I apologize for the negativity. We have the youngest squad in the premier league. I wish I could say it with optimism for the future. Instead, I say it with a lot of frustration.

Joao Pedro, thigh injury, will face a fitness test. Failed one prior to MU.

Going to watch a film with the wife instead tonight. I just can';t take this team any more,

Oh no! I was going to watch Athletic tonight, we need to beat Osasuna to stay out of relegation trouble, but I see that the game is a 6pm KO, so it finishes on time to watch Chelsea. I'm not sure whether I'm ready for two embarrassing defeats in one night...

I like it, I like it... can we have the wing-backs invert though please?

Away with you!

I keep saying every week we will get a good result to be positive. I just don't know if I can keep doing it. I just don't know anymore! 😭

We ARE going to score a goal tonight, I’m sure of it. Probably concede three or four though but hey, its progress!

Pre‑season cricket nets… or 90 minutes of Chelsea recycling possession, Neto dribbling into nowhere, and Garnacho getting manhandled by a right‑back.

Tough Call

Sanchez

Gusto Fofana Sarr Hato

Lavia Caicedo

J.Derry Palmer Garnacho

Guiu

I try to be positive, but at the same time I just can't trust this set of defenders to do the job at any ground, not only Brighton's. I watched them at Spurs at the week-end and they played some nice stuff with Minteh running the show.

The options at center back are an absolute joke. I am terrified of the possibility of having Tosin there. Or Chalobah. Not that Fofana would be some sort of a better choice. What a f**king time to be a Chelsea fan, from Terry, Carvalho, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Ivanovic, Alex to these pathetic excuse of a center backs we now have to see every week. And to top it all off, Sanchez in goal...

Much like Lampard 2.0, it doesn't matter who we lineup at this rate. Team is depleted with confidence and what they should actually be doing.

Unless we can pull out one of those once in a blue moon performances, I think this has another defeat written all over it.

Only question really, is how many goals will Danny Wellbeck score?

Roseniors reputation is in the gutter, and they only hope he has to salvage it is the fa cup.

Anyone can see CL is beyond us, so the league is a failure on his record. While beating Leeds is unlikely, and City near impossible, he can only hope our beat players show up and we get a large slice of luck.

That would give Europa league football, and he could claim his time here was a success and get a decent next job.

Would be smart to rest key players for Leeds, from Sanchez, James, Chalobah, maybe even Colwill. Throw in Cucu, Moi, Enzo, Lavia, Palmer and Joao Pedro to the save them pile.

Write this one off. The players don't care about the league now.

Blood the youths.

Gusto Sarr Hato Cucu backline with McQueen and Jesse Derry starting

We're in a bad slump anyway, the worse option is Neto and Garnacho on the wings

Our away fans will be on form tonight. That will be about it.

Going to be positive. Ok we probably won't score but... will we could at least manage a clean sheet!

All them names and barely a sniff of a confident goal scorer in that lineup.

Couldnt agree more but this, sadly, never happens

Yeah, wasn’t easy trying to find goal threats in my pick! Front three + Cucu has shown they have it in them, though

If we don't win tonight, I guess we can kiss the title goodbye for another season. At least we gave it a good go this season. I think we can beat Bayern in the semi's. The Verve were wrong, the drugs do work.
