Yes indeed if Sheff Utd walked through it, dread to think what the Chelsea second string might do? Forster best be ready for anything.

So are we playing a back 3 with KWP and Djenpo as the wingbacks?

Chelsea are not playing 3 at the back either! They are playing a 433 I think? 

Despite that being largely their 2nd XI, their front 3 CHO/Havertz/Ziyech will be dangerous against our defence

Expand  

Think it is 3-5-2 with James, Chalobah and Sarr back three, Alonso and Hudson-Odoi as wingbacks.

 

Is this the first time the Armstrong Bros. have played together?

[Teddeer]

That's a strong looking Chelsea team so hats off to Ralph if we get through.

No Stuart Armstrong either

only got 10 men there. Has Stuart Armstrong got sent off before the game starts?

Mike Dean referee? 

[Dark Munster]

Certainly an attacking line up, but the midfield looks rather weak defensively.

[fanimal]

SSN will show the goals?

My glass half full view of those respective line ups is that we’ll get annihilated

Close - Kevin Friend: the next one off the rank.

[Nordic Saint]

Tuchel  is obviously taking this match very seriously. The bulk of his team featured in their 7-0 league win on Saturday: 5 in the starting lineup and 3 as subs.

Lyanco 3/1 to get booked. Looks a psycho so backing that

I'm far more optimistic than that personally, I think we'll only get pummeled.

That team tonight is going to be such a pile of shit that Southern Water will be trying to discharge us off the coast of Worthing.

Yep...dunno why, but I wander if we might see a 3 at the back, Djenepo and KWP at wing back. 

[Chapel End]

Moan about Bednarek when he plays, now he's not moan the defence is weak...

Moan when KWP doesn't play,  now he plays the defence is weak...

This place is special

It's going to be Incredibly tough but you never know! I just hope they can not concede an early goal and fall to pieces, attack is our best form of defense grab an early goal keep Chelsea fans quiet, but yes on paper they should cruise it

The lack of a 'Will' at the start makes it a statement. 

[captainchris]

Honestly two plodders up front ! Waste of space again Ralph… 

[igsey]

Great save Fraser.

[Sheaf Saint]

Only just got a working stream. What does our formation look like?

[Sheaf Saint]

Ah, taters just said..

KWP at RB, Salisu at LB and Valery in the centre.

Hmmmmmm.

They're wrong, it's back 3 of Salisu-Lyanco-Valery, KWP and Djenepo as wingbacks.

[Sheaf Saint]

Well we're certainly getting stuck into them, but the gulf in quality on the ball is obvious.

[Sheaf Saint]

How on earth did the ref / lino not spot that shirt puling?

 

[Sheaf Saint]

Unusually quiet on here tonight. Where is everyone?

[igsey]

AArmstrong keeps trying to shoot from 25 yards surrounded by players and it's already annoying.

[Sheaf Saint]

Valery just tried to walk the ball past two defenders.

[Mr X]

Wth was that from Forster 

[whelk]

Has Adams had a touch yet?
