Maresca must be licking his lips with this one. As will every PL manager under pressure, never before has there been such a banker of 3 points and a good few goals. I'll go for 5-0 (loss, for clarity).

I expect to see:

- Attacking midfielders at centre back
- Full backs at centre back
- Centre backs on the bench
- a gaping hole where our midfield should be
- lumping balls up to the shortest striker in the league
- Ramsdale making many good saves but ultimately conceding at least 6

Chelsea are an odd team but this I can't see anything other than a hammering. I fear this could end up our latest 9 nil, which will be made all the worse as I'll have to endure it sat in the home end 😳

I wonder how Rusk's input will affect how we set up tomorrow. If it's anything like the Fulham game we'll be playing very defensively

Rusk has been with the first team since he was caretaker. He can be seen in training videos and on 1st team matchdays on the bench. This isn't new, it is just confirmation it will continue going forward.

I think it's more of a mistranslation - the reason for the injury is long term fatigue (he has the most minutes this season I think?), and nothing too serious like a tear or strain.

I expect his arms must be worn out from all the waving at his team mates he does when we concede.

Assuming no desire to move from 343 I would pick:

Rambo

Wood, ABK, Stephens

Bree, Downes, Aribo, KWP

Fernades, Tall Paul, Kamaldeen 

 

I think Bree and KWP right now are our best full backs (Welington has promise) and yet Juric has not seen Bree play right wing back.  While every one of the centre backs has question marks, at least play players in their natural positions

TNT Sports kickoff 20:15.

I refuse to pay their exorbitant subscription prices.

One of my local pubs has TNT so I may be lucky, there might be another game they're showing. Or I might get injured at training earlier..

For the sake of all the masochist away supporters I hope we get something out of it. Or maybe not, I suppose, if they really are that way inclined.

I know it's only London but it's remarkable we're still selling out every away game in this horrific season.

Actually dreading tonight if I'm honest. Half tempted to sack it off but I know I won't.

Sooner or later we've got to improve, surely it can't get any worse can it?

I think I will turn off my football app so that I don't get constant alerts when a goal against is scored as it will disturb my watching of Doctor Pimple Popper.

we should have conceded 7/8 goals on Saturday we were that bad and only Ramsdale prevented another one of those huge loses we have come to expect. Unfortunately tonight i think we will concede 6 or more goals with the ridiculous tactics and players playing out of position.

Feel free to drag this back up after we win 1-0

What worries me most now is the clear capitulation by Juric. He’s lost his way entirely, looks defeated and has no idea where to go to get a tune out this squad of strangers (by definition you can’t call them a team). The players are going to be utterly demoralised as well as not good enough. Can see a bloodbath this evening. 7-0. There I called it - will be delighted to be proven wrong…i.e. we score a goal or two and the GD is less than 3.

They marmalised us last time, but took their foot off the gas massively. They are out of form, but still worry we might get another beating.

This is the point, I'm sure teams could beat us by a lot more if they wanted to but it's better to rest key players than fully go for the jugular.

We're lucky we're playing Liverpool in between games against PSG otherwise that could genuinely be double figures.

I hope this post is tongue in cheek otherwise it makes you a fair weather supporter. Instead of gracing St. Mary's with your presence next season just pop along the coast to Brighton or Bournemouth if you want to see a few matches won.

Lighten up dude. I'm a fairweather and bloody proud of it. Much better things to spend my money on than watching that shite every week. I'm too old to care that much anymore. We all have different perspectives of life and believe me this football club ain't top of the tree for me anymore. Just worry about yourself mate. That's all that matters. Keep well.

Apparently, Chelsea currently haven't got a goalkeeper that's any good (not that should bother them) but nor do they have a fit striker. It's an ideal time to play them but our guys seem to have given up the ghost, so this could be a really dreary 2-0 to them.

They also seem to have more than the usual morons who stare at the away fans all match and give it the verbals. There's a ginger OAP who's usually good for a laugh.

We need two defensive midfielders to protect our central defenders….
