Chelsea vs Crystal Palace (PL) Sunday 17th August 14:00 GMT

[Deino]

Ofc our CBs drop like flies just as the season starts.

Tosin - Out temporarily

Badiashile - Out

Fofana - coin toss

Disasi - not good enough

Levi - Out for the season

Now we have to rely on Trev, Josh, Hato and Anselmino.

Goddamn

 

[Scott Harris]

The fact that we are leaving Tosin out as a precaution tells me that we are seriously concerned about losing another player. The long 24-25 campaign is already catching up on us.

 

[Jezq8]

A bit concerning that the cbs are injured.

Anyway

Sanchez

James chalobah Josh cucurella

caicedo Enzo

Neto palmer gittens

Pedro

 

[Boyne]

We are staying over in Wimbledon tonight

Its a long story

However See that the club are asking us to get to the ground early for an some sort of-presentation. Any ideas ?

I wonder if it's because the display of the haul of trophies won by the men's and women's teams has been updated.

 

[PhilH930]

Big call on CBs. They won't risk Fofana. Do you go with Josh, or move Reece to CB, or try Hato (although agree with the consensus he should be allowed to settled with the LB role first).

 

[19seventyone]

If James wasn’t starting in Maresca’s original 11 he most certainly should be now.

I think he’ll start James at RB rather than CB or DM.

I very much doubt Estevao starts tomorrow either.

With the two injuries in mind I think he goes tried and tested in the main.

Sanchez​

James Trev Josh Cucu​

Caicedo Santos​

Palmer Enzo Neto​

Pedro​

Hopefully Trev has Mateta sussed from his time at Palace.

Think we need to get used to this happening. May well be the price for the club world cup.

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

No, they are being very coy about it aren't they ?

 

[The Rising Sun]

Leaving soon , always get over excited for the first game , even at my age ! Couldn't sleep last night , anyone would think I was playing instead of just watching

Come on you Blues!!

 

[JM7]

I think it will be a tough game. Palace are on a high and confident. Wouldn’t surprise me if we drew unfortunately

 

[AlexTommo]

COYB. A little nervous to be honest. Hope we can come out firing on all cylinders.

I put my boots in my overnight bag

Just in case !

 

[Clearlake Cartel]

Nothing less than 3 points today. Start as we mean to go on.

Also if Eze does start, a lovely injury to derail the Sp*rs transfer would be the icing on the cake

 

[erskblue]

 

[STATS]

Eze will be starting, contrary to rumours he was being let out. Think this will be a difficult game. Both games were 1-1 last season. We have not completed our signings and have a few incomings who have not yet been signed. Palace, pretty much have the same team and a settled, solid unit. Will be a difficult one.

Goddamn

Which again begs the question why we’re not in for Guehi?

 

[The Rising Sun]

£ 7.45 for pint of Estrella! !! Waterside pub. . It's a fricking Young's pub .

 

[Snedger]

Which again begs the question why we’re not in for Guehi?

My guess is we can't benefit from the sell on clause to ourselves. Money to be made if Liverpool buy him.

 

[bluelightening]

We got to win this at home.
