Match day thread for the Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg at Stadion Miejski Legii Warszawa im. Marszałka J. Piłsudskiego.

Ideally we rest Caicedo, James, Enzo and Palmer.

Options are think to cover them, thanks to our January window. However we need them for the league more than this competition at this stage.

Gusto takes the RB spot, Chalobah and KDH the midfield spots, Sancho, Neto and Madueke the 3 behind Nico would be my choices.

 

[axman2526]

This is the game you rested players in, not kill our CL hopes, slim as they were, vs Brentford...

 

[dansubrosa]

Thank goodness we’ve rested Palmer, Neto, Cucurella, Colwill and Jackson for this game!

 

[Valerie]

I may be tempted to be off the grid for this. Hell, for the rest of the season!

Best case scenario is we lose each remaing game, yet Palmer scores a hat trick in each.

Maresca gone, but we go into next year with an in form again Cole.

 

[axman2526]

Well think I need to change my mindset here.

This trophy means little, but it grants a Europa league spot, which we only get if we finish 6th. Drop to 7th and it conference league again so full strength here as we blew our chances in the league we now rest players there.

This muppet just needs to play his best team in every game from now on until the end of the season. We've only got a maximum of 12 games left after all.

If someone gets injured then you simply bring in a like for like back fill.

Reinforce from the loan army if needed for the Club World Cup exhibition games in the summer. The way Enzo has us playing we'll probably exit at the group stage of that anyway, and I believe that's only another 3 games in that scenario.

They have Vinagre who used to play for Wolves and that Kapustka guy who was briefly at Leicester.

Ah if only Big Enz was funny....Graham Potter seems like Jasper Carrot in comparison.

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

We need to win this competition so we can at least qualify gor the Europa, I personally don't believe we will.make the top 5 if we see our remaining fixtures especially the last few. Hopefully am wrong but just cant see it.

 

[Caps_Lock_King]

IF we win this trophy they will keep Maresca no matter what

IF we don't win this trophy and fail to qualify for CL he is gone

i prefer to get rid of Maresca so if it means not winning the Farmers cup i'm all for it

looking at the fixtures i still think we will get top 5

rumours that Palmer and Jackson will be on the bench (just to prove he didn't rest them for this game)

Jorgensen

Gusto Tosin Colwill Cucurella

KDH Enzo

Noni Nkunku George

Neto

Nkunku last chance saloon BUT give him a chance to play in his best position

 

[CFCCAN]

The Masters begins today....hitting a ball with a stick to get it in hole seems more enjoyable than watching our lot bore me to death...
