Chelsea (H) 7/2: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Alan]

6! Was a painful watch. Zeli Ismail played about 10 minutes too

Worth £10m for each minute, I hear

 

[BillyDee]

Against a full strength champions of Europe. Even John Terry showed up, fresh from his FA tribunal.

 

[Jack Regan]

I've also seen us go to Stamford Bridge and play Andrew Surman and Greg Halford as wing backs

We did not win

Pretty sure paid £53 quid apiece for tickets for that game too.

Can't remember if it was before we let Florent Malouda walk through the middle of the pitch from the halfway line and score, or after (think it was after) Ebanks-Blake headed an absolute sitter from about six yards straight at Cech when it was easier to score.

Used to have a quid on a first scorer + scoreline before the game when they had the betting stands

Only time I ever won was Ramires 1-2

Gittens is out, whilst James and Neto are doubts for Saturday’s game.

No Strand Larsen or Agbadou. Arias may be out too

 

[wanderer89]

Rumour is we’re starting with 11 players, 10 if Hwang is playing.

 

[Kenny]

No Strand Larsen or Agbadou.

No changes from the last 6 months then

Krejci back in training and available
Toti not
Might see a player or 3 with the name Gomes on the teamsheet

Ah thank you, you guys have greater access to bits of news here and there, whos in whos out all of that.
I know the teams get announced an hour before KO, but I was just a bit surprised at the complete lack of any discussion about the game from all you guys.
I suppose its a reflection on the level of interest in the team at this low moment.

Nobody has any more access. You just choose not to look and ask on here

Neto against Doherty playing RB in a 4

 

[Dire Wolf]

Oh great, Hwang still starts. Fuck's sake.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Neto against Doherty playing RB in a 4

Every time I've watched Chelsea Neto has been on the right.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Seems odd to play 4 today, yet 5 against Bournemouth.
