Well with JT out we either stick with a dodgy Cahill or massive gamble on Bane. I'd opt with Cahill tho I'm afraid. But if we can keep the ball away from defenders and keep pressing high we should be cool. Depending on if he sticks Matic-Oscar with Cescy and that really wouldn't be fun. If we go with Chalobah and N'Golo with Cescy I cant see a better partnership. And Moses in for Willian and let Costa loose I think the central midfield up would be ours with N'Golo covering the CBs. But those passes from Luiz really do come in handy. Stick Alonso in and Dave so that lets Bane rest his old slow boines. I'm excited.. The away game I look forward to most.

Happy is our saviour! Praise be to Happy! Antonio Conte: 'Kurt Zouma nearing injury return' © Getty Images Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has revealed that Kurt Zouma is closing in on a return from injury. The 21-year-old has been sidelined for the past seven months after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in February. However, Conte is expecting the French defender back in training next week, and hinted at a possible return to action after the upcoming international break. "For Zouma, I hope to see him in the training sessions next week. He's in good shape and I hope to see him next week in training, to start counting on him," he told reporters. "Possibly (he will return after the international break). Possibly. Probably. We will wait one week more." No JT neither so soddin Cahill will be in again

Overlap them like a collage or turn them into pillows or summet.

I really dont understand wtf happened with this. For ages all we heard was Conte loved him, Conte wanted him back, Conte was blocking his departure. Then he never got any playing time. But from what I saw he had come back freom Juve full of the confidence you get when the players'manager,supporters get behind you showing their support and appreciation. He is fast and was running straight at defenders putting them off balance and getting behind them before crossing. Much more offensive minded than Willian. Between him and Moses they offered good ballance for Eden. And then we go and do one of the daftest loans Ive heard of. After loaning him already so they already knew just what they were getting we give them a soiddin 3 year loan!! And for £4.25 mill a year! Its not like theyre skint after selling £150 mill ishhh of players Just what have Juve ever done for us that we do them favors? They dont sell us anyone. Every player we went for in the window we got knocked back on. Chiellini,Bonucci,Rugani. Players we really needed I thoght having Conte with us might just give us a helping hand with Italian transfers but it seems to have failed.

Aye But I dont think theyre made so we can sell them on again Keep them and put them in a poster case and hang them on the wall. Theyre great decorations. Well I got a wall of them in the spare bedroom I use as my record box. The Mrs wont let me put them anywhere else lol

Stick them on Evilbay. Ive had some really good old 60s70s shirts off there.

I was a bit happier when I see Cahill this pre season. Hes looked so thin with a pale gaunt face looking like Schurrle on crack this last couple of years. But hes as bad as ever. The fact that 3 of our back line are starting for us is really the issue, And it should have been looked at the back end of 2012. The problem is that it takes a manager a year or so to get a proper feel how players work/gel and ours dont last much longer than that. And as they are supposedly the strength on the pitch and dressing room and Bane gives Roman BJs it keeps getting put off. And now we are paying for it. There shouldn't be room for sentiment in team selection. I'd love Happy to come back against Mounure afyer they did him in the 1st place. Be great for him to get some payback.

Jose Mourinho used to call Wayne Rooney ‘Fat Boy’ – but he was still desperate to sign him http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/22/jose-mourinho-used-to-call-wayne-rooney-fat-boy-but-he-was-still-desperate-to-sign-him-6146368/#ixzz4L2Nby9Gi Fat Boy,Shrek,Ginger twat,Slap head are just terms of endearment. I've never liked him and was pulling my hair out when al that spiel about us signing him was happening.. I just hope Mounure lose the plot and they all go bonkers

I really can't see us using the lad. Hes not good enough to make the team no matter what position he plays. Our problem is hes been pushed thru as the academys blue eyed boy and has been hyped to fuck. So I cant see him being loaned out or not thrown a game now n then as we would look like we lost. Plus the wage rise would anyone want to pay it for him? We have many more youth better than him yet the pressure is on us about him.

Bugga! I was there too! lol Disappointed! I'll cry!

Thats the side I'd pick too. I think Luiz-Happy will be a good partnership. Happy is strong'fast'tall and Luiz is good on the ball and has made some great passes. I'm liking the Don nut he has made some decisions I just cant get my head around, Matic-Oscar with Cescy just dont work It needs Chalobah-N'Golo with Cescy. Cahill-Bane-JT are long long past their sell by date.Hes finally sat Mikel on the bench so I just pray that the powers that be are searching for replacements if they do insist on loaning out our good young needed defenders. I'd also put Willian on the bench as hes not shown half of what he was last season. MAYBE he got POTY because of how average the other lads were? I do like the lad but his running around gets us nowhere. And I wish he would make subs before 75 mins

Dont even joke it! We cant lose this ffs. Its been 5 years since those nances beat us 5-3 at home. Bad day! And seeing as Michael Olivers in black it might be good for us. Theyve lost 3 out their last 8 and drew the other 5 where we have 7 wins and 6 draws from 13 with him. I know I'm having a few quid on us and going there like we own the place.

I hear ya mate but I really dont understand why tho Matic/Cescy just doesnt work and Oscars only good for figh end pressing. Having these 3 in CM would change our game wheter it was a 4-3-3 or in a 3-5-2 which I hope to see us try a few times. Be good to see them against the north London lot.

I'd go for that but without doubt I'd put Chalobah in for Matic and I'd happily donate my left dangly to put Happy in for JT. That would be a good team I reckon.

We have been crying out needing to put Chalobah with Cescy and N'Golo. They all compliment each other well and I cant see a problem with him playing against anyone.

The lads on fire and I can imagine his confidence is sky high. But like The Wes said playing like that in the PL is a different thing. But I do hope he at least gets given a chance with us. We shall see eh.

Not had a PC in seems like months so its 1st Ive heard of this Happy loan jibberish. Well I bleedin hope it is! I've been thinking since Luiz came back they would make good partners. Both have what the other doesn't so they compliment each other well. Hope to see them together soon. I wish tho he had been fit for the weekend tho. Really dont want to see Cahill giving balls away to north Londoners.

I really never thought he would have a problem up there. I thought with the players he brought in the fans/players/Mgmnt would be right behind him. But with all those massive egos in one place, all those players wanting game time added to not knowing where the fuck to play the most expensive player in the world and their long time captain then theres bound to be some major implosions from all directions. Aint it a damned shame eh I just hope Happy is fit by the time we play them.

I gets back from a fishing holiday in Spain yesterday to find the PSU on my PC is fucked so have had to resort to a 8 year old lappy with a dodgy mouse that hardly moves and no left click. So Ive been trying all afternoon to get to a stream. I cant keep up with the posts on here so I dont even know if theres any score or sod all!! So I am now going to get pissed after I throw this bleeding thing out of my window and wait for my new PSU to come who knows when!!! So all I can hope is we won or at least didn't lose!! I shall have a Guinness for you all and shout like hell for me please!!! Love and Peace

Really cant see where RLC fits in with us mate. Theres not a position I would think about him as 1st or 2nd selection. Both us and Leicester are in different places this season. Both on and off the pitch. And thats what makes supporting Chelsea such a roller coaster ride. Right now we are on that relatively smooth ride up at the start and we have to make the most out of every chance we get. But after watching Liverpool dismantle them yesterday I'm not worried about Leicester too much. It shows just what a big part that N'Golo had in their season last year. I think hes going to get a bad reception and I hope it puts some fire in his feet to show them just what they are missing. I still cant get over just how good a deal we got on him. I would love to see Chalobah working with him until we can put him alongside a Nainggolan or Verratti

Had tears running down my legs after seeing Manure get their arses kicked yesterday and Mou dishing out 'it was the refs fault' spiel. Ahhh those were the days! But I just managed to get 7/1 on us today so should be quids in guys! Unfortunately I cant see many changes today with the if it aint broke dont fix it line I think MAYBE Luiz might get 10 mins at the end if we are 2 up but wouldn't it be great to have another clean sheet! I would like to see us do 2 things sometime soon : Partner Chalobah and N'Golo cause I think they would compliment each other great. And give us 2 up front. Costa and Batman would go bonkers once they got their act together. Its already shown they work well. I'm feeling carefree today so I see a win Come on you fuckin Blues! Maybe a 4-4-2 for North London n a fortnight PRAYING Happy is fit of course!!! Diego - Batman Eden - Chalobah - N'Golo - Moses Alonso - Luiz - Happy - Dave

My wishlist to Santa Marco Verratti I know its going to be bloody hard specially with Ibra pushing Mou to put £80 mill out for him and RM after him too but I think we should be getting everyone we can on the case to grab him now. I would love to give a Chalobah/N'Golo partnership a good try but I get a semi imagining him paired up with N'Golo for us. Remember him from a couple years back -

Aye Klopps doing good for the Dippers but if we meet them after a good result tomorrow I cant see a problem. I mean like we have already beat them pre season lol I'll be interested to see how N'Golo gets treated when we go there. See if he gets the kinda reception we give our ex players .

Well I couldnt help but smirk warchin a team full of great individuals getting paid amazing wages lose but then some twats in North London wins with a dodgy penalty which took the smirk away. And showed that last seasons soar away league winners are missing summet. mmmm Wonder if its N'Golo? But surely a team winning shouldn't be dependent on 1 player. I say we leave Mou to his blame the refs games and Pep playing keep the ball from the fat bald ginger geezer and we just keep getting better. I'm just ready for a trip to cold dark North London in 2 weeks. 3 games between now n then so lets hope we stay fit and have Happy on the pitch! I think he will work well with Luiz.

I do and it makes me dribble! I think if we did stand a chance it might depend on us making Europe next season. Would make a great N'Golo partner tho eh! But as this IS a Griezmann thread I will happily donate my left dangley towards signing him. What we could use is a big marquee player or 2. It changes the club completey. Same as bringing in a toip manager. From the terraces to the town to the changing room to the pitch it makes an electricity. I like all our transfers this season (Alonso from what Ive read up on and vids seen) And I think they will each be great for the club as a team. And our electricity is coming from a combination of things which may in the long run be better. But just look at the buzz that happens when a Pog or Ibra (or BOTH) joins a club.Didn't help Manure today tho eh hahaaa
