Brighton and Hove Albion vs Chelsea (PL) Tuesday 21st April 20:00 GMT

I try to be positive, but at the same time I just can't trust this set of defenders to do the job at any ground, not only Brighton's. I watched them at Spurs at the week-end and they played some nice stuff with Minteh running the show.

The options at center back are an absolute joke. I am terrified of the possibility of having Tosin there. Or Chalobah. Not that Fofana would be some sort of a better choice. What a f**king time to be a Chelsea fan, from Terry, Carvalho, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Ivanovic, Alex to these pathetic excuse of a center backs we now have to see every week. And to top it all off, Sanchez in goal...

 
Much like Lampard 2.0, it doesn't matter who we lineup at this rate. Team is depleted with confidence and what they should actually be doing.

 
Unless we can pull out one of those once in a blue moon performances, I think this has another defeat written all over it.

Only question really, is how many goals will Danny Wellbeck score?

 
Roseniors reputation is in the gutter, and they only hope he has to salvage it is the fa cup.

Anyone can see CL is beyond us, so the league is a failure on his record. While beating Leeds is unlikely, and City near impossible, he can only hope our beat players show up and we get a large slice of luck.

That would give Europa league football, and he could claim his time here was a success and get a decent next job.

Would be smart to rest key players for Leeds, from Sanchez, James, Chalobah, maybe even Colwill. Throw in Cucu, Moi, Enzo, Lavia, Palmer and Joao Pedro to the save them pile.

Write this one off. The players don't care about the league now.

 
Blood the youths.

Gusto Sarr Hato Cucu backline with McQueen and Jesse Derry starting

We're in a bad slump anyway, the worse option is Neto and Garnacho on the wings

 
Going to be positive. Ok we probably won't score but... will we could at least manage a clean sheet!

 
We have to try something different. Not that it'll happen but I'd like to see us go wing backs instead of wingers - our wingers output is miniscule regardless.

Sanchez

Josh - Trevoh - Hato

Gusto - Lavia - Caicedo - Cucurella

Enzo - Palmer

Pedro
All them names and barely a sniff of a confident goal scorer in that lineup.

Couldnt agree more but this, sadly, never happens

Yeah, wasn’t easy trying to find goal threats in my pick! Front three + Cucu has shown they have it in them, though

 
If we don't win tonight, I guess we can kiss the title goodbye for another season. At least we gave it a good go this season. I think we can beat Bayern in the semi's. The Verve were wrong, the drugs do work.

Great opportunity for the Brighton players and manager tonight, play well and there's like a 40% chance they'll be getting paid twice as much playing for Chelsea next season.
