Chelsea (H) - Friday about 8

Lets do this,

Kelleher
Kayode Schuster Ajer Diouf
Janelt Sangare
Anthony Carvalho Schade
Thiago

Thiago to score 3.
Can;t we just play the 2nd XI for the extra lols?
 

Chelsea (H) - Friday about 8

Kelleher
Kayode Ajer Schuster KLP
sangare Janelt
Dams
Antony Igor Schade

Although I’m not sure Dams will start now that he played 90 last night. We definately need some creativity in that middle

fact we’ve already seen KA is happy to replace personnel based on current performance over long term standing in the team, I do wonder if there’s a way we can get Aaron to start?

I love MK, but is there a shout for Aaron to start over him?

I think there is. Chelsea don't really play with wingers do Aaron may be better as a defensive option.

Having said that they are so open down the flanks Michael may be the choice to expose them the other way. What a world when we have so many options!

I don't think he will either. I expect Yehor to start with Sangare seen as the most creative player. He managed this quite well first game with Jensen in the side but it has not been so evident since.

I do think the extra rest may prove vital… still hopeful 🐝

At this stage in the season, could argue that a good midweek run out, without too much exertion and breaking up a week of training, is also ok preparation.
Looking (clutching?) for the positives.

Torn on this, I think these are the areas of question:

Kayode or Hickey- I’d go Kayode for the x factor

KLP, Diouff, Henry- I’d go Diouff as we need to see what he’s made of against the big boys

Yarmo or Dams- I’d go Yarmo for the extra legs, pushing Sangare further forward

Anthony or Dango- Anthony for me, Dango’s looked miles off it, Anthony has been a little better

Honestly I wouldn’t be overly bothered by any of the above being different, what I do know is Thiago needs a goal, Sangare needs to play with more freedom, Ajer needs to show leadership.

I’d take a point and look forward to Jensen, VDB and Collins coming back in after the break.

I dont know who to pick and I normally get it wrong so I wont bother .I think pick either the strongest attacking side to get at their vulnerable defence or the strongest defensive team to stop their fluid attack .I think Keith will chose attack

There's no way Diouf or Carvalho have done enough to start. Personally I'd have Rico at LB as he's the best defender of the three options and our defence will be under pressure against Chelsea. I'd start Damsgaard as the most forward midfielder and KLP at right attacker, as he'll give more help to Kayode at RB than Dango or Anthony would.
Having said all that, I reckon Keith will pick KLP at LB, Yarmo as the third midfielder and probably Anthony on the right, though it's pretty much 50/50 between him and Dango.
 

Chelsea (H) - Friday about 8

I would go
Kelleher
Kayode Schuster Ajer Henry
Sangare Janelt Yarmo
Dango Thiago Kev

Diouf is only settling in, but I was rather disappointed with his crossing when he got the chance to last night. That was supposed to be one of his standout attributes.

So for me, he's on the bench again.
 

Chelsea (H) - Friday about 8

I actually think we will have a lot of the ball in this game so would probably start Dams; however the fact that he played the full ninety yesterday suggests to me that we are more likely to see the same XI as started against Bournemouth.

Don't really understand the calls for Henry to start; we are not going to be backs-to-the-wall in this one going on our and Chelsea's games so far.
 

Chelsea (H) - Friday about 8

Why is this "about 8"? Does that mean any time from 7.45 to 8.15pm?
...pre match pyro extravaganza to put Chelsea flamethrowers to shame...20.05 KO time to allow smoke to disperse into the proper West London night sky.... expect mobiles aplenty....in the away end.

Not beaten Chelsea at home in 86 years if my research is correct ?

I think we need Dams to start this game as he has the eye to pick a pass to split Chelsea's defence and their defence is definitely at moment their weak spot. I get that might make us slightly more lightweight in midfield but risk could ensure Chelsea play more on backfoot.
