Chelsea Build up and Matchday thread

[Tony Towner]

Saiss, Neto, Jota in for Moutinho, Podence and Traore

 

[Norman Deeley]

Well, it's Neto and Jota up top with Raul. Donk in for Moutinho and Saiss at the back. Not the team I'd have chosen by a long way...

Unexpected Line up

 

[Tony Towner]

They've dropped Kepa

 

[Deleted Cyber]

As an aside should wevwin 3 0 we will have exactly the same home and away records including goals for and against

 

[Dire Wolf]

Pre match prep: 15k run followed by a bacon buttie and soon to be followed by a nice chilled pint of Hop House... game ready!

 

[YoungWolf]

Seems like plan is to get to 60 minutes and get Moutinho and Traore on with fresh legs. I don't mind the line up too much tbf, another good opportunity for Neto too.

 

[Hereford Wolf]

Chicken Phal, Rice and Chips ready for half time.
Bottles of Desperado's in the fridge.

I'm ready.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Think I would have preferred Donck for Saiss at the back & Moutinho to start, but who am I to question Nuno

Still a balanced team - and Neto/Jota or Podence/Traore, just different options

I hope it’s not a tense finish after eating that

Chicken Phal.....in the middle of the day.....are you an animal

 

[Norman Deeley]

Big day for some of our players today. Time for Ruben Neves to show he's going to be a world class midfielder and take the game by the scruff of the neck. And a big chance for Pedro Neto today. Anyway, time to put the veg in the slow cooker with the lamb, open the red wine and perhaps nip to the loo...

 

[The Bear]

Jota and Neto is fine with me. I think Jot was a must. We always miss him when he's not on the pitch. Neto seems to play well against the big boys.

Surprised to see Donk in CM. Clearly tactical. Though it looks like 3-4-3 for them too, so maybe Donk will be trying to help out with Pulisic when he comes inside centrally.

 

[jd1981]

Some serious pant wetting on Twitter about the lineup, cmon everyone on the field starting is more than capable.

 

[Tony Towner]

Lots of slow cookers going on. You must tell me what brand you have so I can decide whether I like you or not

Roy Keane starting his shithousery early by saying Chelsea will be expecting to win this.

"Wolves are not a great team, they're having a great season".

Ha. Yes, I was just coming on to mention that. He's still in a 00s mindset, when Chelsea should be expecting to beat a team in its second prem season.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Kind of expected this line up for first half.....big worry is wolves match day live extra has failed to start yet. Ffs!

 

[The Bear]

My first thought was we've had two great seasons in a row then Roy.

 

[Tony Towner]

Depends how you define great. Chelsea should expect to beat us at home. That said being a prick is what gets Keane work these days, he's just a punditry shock jock
