AFC Bournemouth vs Chelsea (PL) Saturday 6th December 15:00 GMT

Should we stuff up the league over the next few games I hope we can concentrate on the FA cup and Champions League.

 
Tyler Adams is suspended for this which is a big bonus. He has been brilliant this season and him being suspended alongside Lewis Cook helps us. Adams pressing and tackling and even technical ability is really good. With our attacking talent we could really hurt them. I reckon J.Pedro will start up front but would not be the worse idea going with the same attacking line up he did against Barca and having Neto up front, with Garnacho and Estevao out wide. Bournemouth play a very high line and we saw how easily City exploited that. We also exploited Barca's high line, so would not be worst idea.

Arsenal have apparently lost another centre back (Mosquera) to injury for at least 6 weeks !

What terrible timing for that sh*t show at Leeds ...

 
7-0 to Bournemouth. Anything better than that will be a surprise bonus in our quest for fifth.

 
Pick a proper back four which includes a right back at right back and nobody at centre half who would be better placed as a hat stand.

I hsve more desire to see Bernard Manning being massaged by Ruby Wax than I do to see Fernandez play in the centre of our midfield again so given Caciedo is suspended I would have to play James alongside Santos and put Gusto at right back.

Achy Breaky should play beside Fofana in the centre of defence and Garnacho ahead of Gittens.

I expect Pedro will be at number 9 with Delap benched and I would start Neto and Palmer.

However this is what I actually expect

Sanchez;

Cucurella

Fofana

Chalobah

Gusto

Fernandez

James

Garnacho

Palmer

Neto

Joao Pedro

So probably only two choices I disagree with (Fernandez and Chalobah)

 
Don’t piss about with the line up.

Sanchez

Gusto fofana chalobah cucurella

James Enzo

Neto Palmer garnacho

Pedro

 
Watch Arsenal drop points at Villa, Chelsea win this and then state the usual "if only we did not lose the match before...".

It always happens like this.

 
We probably draw this game. That's what my heart is telling me

 
Same as many others - have commitments this am so not following the game. I’ll avoid all scores while out and watch a replay later.

It’s a sad state of affairs that just expecting to be disappointed when watching the replay later. I’m sure we’ll see a busy, industrious reaction for first 20 mins post Leeds, then settle into the rhythm of slow football with a couple gifts thrown in.

Even if we win the table is so compact it makes little difference. Lose a couple (this and Newcastle) and we’re suddenly down towards mid table.

Players and manager need to show what they’re made of. The manner of performance vs Leeds was as bad as I can recall - they’d need to win 5 or more in a row to convince me they have any mental strength returning.

 
Not going to mass quote it but just have to read several comments above this one to see multiple examples of passionate fans of Chelsea who are happy something else is going on so they can miss the game. how sad is that?

We used to be far worse than we are now and yet we followed cheerfully. Carefree wherever we may be right?

Look what BlueCo have done to us and our club. What the directors have done. What Maresca has done. And what these players have done. They have killed the joy of having this wonderful sport.

Selfish, arrogant pr*cks.

Opportunity for the boys to put things right and who knows what will happen. It’s sport, enjoy the highs and the lows. Come on the chels!

My team would be this :

Sanchez

Acheampong, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella

James, Santos

Estevao, Palmer, Neto

Guiu

Probably at least 4 of those (Josh, Andrey, Steve and Marc Guiu) have no chance of starting though. We might even see Cole on the bench again as well.
