John Boy Saint Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 As they were saying on the radio driving home - games are going to be coming thick and fast. I’d stick with what we put out today, maybe change out Moi and play Djenepo in front of Perraud. Moussa seems to have clicked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecurnew02 Posted 27 August, 2022 Share Posted 27 August, 2022 (edited) I’m not sure what to make of Chelsea’s win today vs Leicester since Leicester are horrid but they did funnily enough look much better once Gallagher was sent off and Mount was taken off With that said their lineup doesn’t scare me very much as it previously would and I have hopes of getting something out of this game Edited 27 August, 2022 by ecurnew02 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLaw76 Posted 28 August, 2022 Share Posted 28 August, 2022 Ralph will no doubt make a couple of changes.. Perraud for Mo, S.Armstrong for Djenepo and Mara for A.Armstrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 28 August, 2022 Share Posted 28 August, 2022 A free hit. Give it a go and hope we can nick a result. Feel much more confident about not conceding with Sali and ABK at CB, wouldn’t surprise me if Perraud started at LB. Would expect a few changes but will also probably depend on what’s happening with the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More wins at Stamford Bridge recently that at St Mary's against them. Think they'll have too much for us but they can be susceptible to meltdowns as shown against Leeds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 August, 2022 Share Posted 28 August, 2022 Until we improve on our forward options we will struggle against teams like Chelsea, but there’s enough in the side to grind out a draw if everything falls into place. Unfortunately head says they’ll be too difficult to break down and we’ll suffer another home loss… 0-2 Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 28 August, 2022 Share Posted 28 August, 2022 We have some player concerns going in to this one. Neither Stuart Armstrong or Mo Elyonoussi are showing much form or creating a great deal. Let's go with Perraud at LB and move Djenepo forward. Maybe time to give Oriol Romeu a run out alongside Roméo Lavia and move JWP forward on the right. We can win this provided the back four repeat their consistency of yesterday. Keep a clean sheet and it's a win for us, no doubt about that 1-0 or 2-0 to Saints. We can't keep missing from five yards out. Tuchel in for a shock!

Dorchester Saint Posted 28 August, 2022 Share Posted 28 August, 2022 (edited) If Broja isn’t at least on Chelsea’s bench for this one then it’ll be pretty telling I think… Same team as Saturday, no need to change anything unless there are injuries of course.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 29 August, 2022 Share Posted 29 August, 2022 Firstly, let’s keep it all to one thread this time 😅 Secondly, I’m less confident about this than I was when we were playing Man United. Exoecting a heavy defeat but not as heavy as last time; probably 3-0, Mount to score, goad the fans, be a general bell etc. I just hope that Ralph doesn’t go five at the back, especially after our performance at the weekend. He’s got to be confident in our attacking abilities, and attack is our best form of defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted 29 August, 2022 Share Posted 29 August, 2022 Chelsea have had a very slow start. We've got a very good chance in this one. If we don't utilize our squad depth in this one by starting a fresh Mara, S. Armstrong and Peraud we'll be very foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 29 August, 2022 Share Posted 29 August, 2022 There are no easy games this season so I'll phrase it this way... this is the last of our tough fixtures before we move on to the more "competitive" fixtures, otherwise meaning games we have a chance of winning. Therefore we need to keep up the performance levels against Chelsea that we showed against United. We've had a tough start to the season and looking at the start beforehand (including Chelsea) 4 points from those fixtures is probably close to what we could have expected, so any extra we get tomorrow is a big bonus. Then we move on to Wolves, Brentford, Villa and Everton and to teams more on our level. 7 or more points from those would be a great haul. Chelsea are a bit in disarray and don't seem to have much cohesion in signings but Koulibaly and Sterling were both decent signings. They don't seem to have got out of second gear yet and I think they'll be active on deadline day so we've probably caught them at a good time. 1-1 would be a decent result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Saint Posted 29 August, 2022 Share Posted 29 August, 2022 (edited) 1-1 if we turn up and play like we did against Man Utd. 2-1 if we 'do a Leeds or a Brighton' and show them no respect whatsoever and play with belief and energy. 0-3 If we revert to 5 at the back and try to contain them.
