Burnley at home Ron Harris takes this kid out and FB you know what I'm talking about he near enough cuts this kid in two it wasn't late it was borderline ABH. This young kid is looking for revenge he does the same thing to Chopper and Chopper to say the least makes a meal of it the kid gets booked Ronnie gets up laughs and gives the Shed the thumbs up. We could wax lyrical about that it's proper football and proper Chelsea but well frankly it was. Nice one.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I say we start with 442 since we know Burnley are going to set up to defend for 90 minutes. Change it up at halftime if it isn't working. Link to post Share on other sites
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This would be my lineup. Ivan-------Cahill--------Terry------Azpi ---------------------Kante Willian-----Cesc----Oscar----Hazard ---------------------Costa Think this is what Conte will go with. Oscar and Willian can do enough of the dirty work in tracking back, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Because we failed to do that in the last meeting at the bridge in which Matic couldv'e had his leg broken by Ashley Barnes. The thing that makes this worse is the hypocrisy from ShawnDyche, who called that tackle on Matic "a man's tackle" yet when Mirallas did a similar challenge to George Boyd he complained about the referee's failure send Mirallas off.

Yeah I knew The Don had used his veto for Square leaving which I agree with. Hes much better than Willian in offence. He's come back from Juve full of confidence after being round players/manager/fans who appreciate him. He loves taking defenders on one to one, running straight at them and getting behind them before putting the cross in. Him and Moses offer us great alternatives and a good ballance keeping the width. I would love to see them both get some chances this season. Link to post Share on other sites
AWorriedChelseaFan 151 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Don't care about the style of football that will be played, as long as we get the 3 points. So any sort of win would do nicely. Cesc should start in a midfield three alongside Kante and Matic. Doesn't matter much who start in our defense, since it's going to be the same old back four from last season. I'd go with Michy as the lone striker instead of DC 19, but I'm sure Conte will start with Costa upfront. Despite how dreadful his link up play/ball retention skills is, Costa is the best finisher we have on our squad atm. Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible link-up play and all. Link to post Share on other sites
hjperdeath 2,226 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Would love to see Kante, Cesc and Matic featuring with Oscar being sacrificed. Moses for Willian as well doesn't sound too bad to start with. Link to post Share on other sites

Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Where is everyone? I guess they are all at Fulham Broadway on their way to the Bridge. I think today will be the day we see Costa and Batshuayi up top together in the starting XI. Team news coming shortly. I am looking for a comfortable 4-0 win and a home clean sheet!
