Blimey that bench

Blimey that bench

Ugh, just realised there's no Bellegarde either.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Ugh, just realised there's no Bellegarde either.

Severe whiplash.

 

[sycophantia]

Got to be something to do with the bug that was in the camp last week, no Bouba either.
It's gunna be a long tough game.

 

[Dire Wolf]

You look at that Chelsea team and you don't see an amazing amount of quality there. But it's Wolves, so we'll probably make them look like peak Mourinho Chelsea.

Blimey that bench

I’m not sure it matters that much. No Fabio is hardly a loss as he is just a bum on a seat at this stage. Bellegarde and traore missing Ofcourse but GoN doesn’t exactly use the bench to impact a game that much with those players

Shame Neto hasn’t made it

 

[jd1981]

There’s very little to bring on if it’s going tits up, starting 11 is as expected.

 

[The Bear]

Hugo, Doyle and Sasa it is off the bench then.

Oh and Doc.... After Fred has been clambering for him for 60 mins.

 

[Indy Wolf]

TV always plays a role in Who gets the marquee spots. Not sure of this but Christmas Eve morning (08:00 EST US) Lets have Chelsea play with Captain America, Christian Pulisic. Plenty of bandwagon Chelsea fans in the US to get ratings up for this time slot... Oops he's no longer with Chelsea. Can't make a change after it's been changed. NBC & Peacock must have some pull with scheduling.

 

[jd1981]

Disco’s Revenge might be one to get at, at RB for Chelsea.

 

[sycophantia]

My 1-1 prediction is now looking a bit optimistic, maybe we'll get the shit version of Chelsea today

 

[pr0sl0]

O'Neil says Neto's expected back for Brentford.

 

[AndyWolves]

I wouldn't mind too much if chirewa got a few minutes today. As long as it isn't as a consolation!

 

[The Bear]

Should have hit that Joao.

Then almost concede at the other end. RB position non existent.

Lemina with a great start to the match.

 

[The Bear]

Never a foul from Hwang. Coote starts...

 

[Lichens]

Got to find RAN there

 

[Alan]

Fuck that foul on Disasi. Fuck those weak as piss calls so much.

 

[The Bear]

Toti having a good game too.

Christ we look very vulnerable at the back though. Need to keep the ball a bit better.

 

[Alan]

Good start, really. Very open game.

 

[Lichens]

Toti’s got some skills today. Maybe we can trick Chelsea into giving us 40m for him
