[sageyefc]

Is that horrible little grass osman still an ambassador for us ?

 

[Eggs]

...blag team time.

 

[Toffeelover]

I hope Dunc does not just repeat a Silva lineup. But shows some individuality.

 

[Berenger]

I can't believe people are falling for this 'passion' garbage. That might have been a sufficient condition for success in the last century, but in this one football is high-performance science both on and off the pitch.

Anyone buying that is part of the problem in my view.

 

[paulbefc]

Actually quite looking forward to this.

 

[Bungle]

Underwhelming team news incoming.

 

[NewRadical]

We really need the points but I'm looking forward to this game more as a novelty. Hoping there will be a great atmosphere and a bit of passion from the player's.

We've tried to play style's that haven't suited us for years, which has led to slow, insipid performances for the most part.

The only really good performance this season was against West Ham. We utilized our pace in that game. Regardless of what we may think of certain players we do have plenty of pace and we should use it more. It puts most sides on the back foot.

I don't know what to expect from Chelsea. They do try and play good football and look dangerous doing so but they are far from elite and their defence is wide open.

I hope to see Moise Kean get a good run out today.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Go on Dunc, play Iwobi behind Kean.

Oh Dunc

 

[orly]

Oh Duncan

 

[Archie Knox]

Dear Lord, all faith I had in Duncan gone already. Extremely disappointed in him there. To be fair he was probably always going to go with a yard dog striker, wasn't he?

Hes the manager we have right now and has just spoken eloquently about the spirit he is looking for from our players... the monster.
