Milan 17,731 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hazard's favourite opponent so hopefully he continues the tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseawise 115 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 1) I hope we start with Zapacosta. Mosses just does not have the talent to deliver that final ball. He adds no value to the team. 2) I hope Conte gives Barkley a start. Would be a perfect match for him 3) Morata if he starts has to prove himself. I do not believe he has adopted to EPL as yet. Reminds me of Ronaldo in his early years at united a "crybaby" 4) My Team would be: Caballero Azpi Christensen Rudiger Zaps Kante Barclay Alonso Pedro Batshayi Hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 For Christ's sake, Barkley is barely ready to play in CAM/SS positions - where there is much more freedom, and people think that he could play in midfield two? Delusional. If we are ever gonna see that, it certainly won't be when his match fitness level is this low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccg 1,528 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thibaut Courtois is fit again after injury but Alvaro Morata, Willian and David Luiz are unavailable for tomorrow, while Michy Batshuayi is currently in contention to play, Antonio Conte reported at his press conference to preview the Bournemouth game.

Special Juan 26,411 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You can just see tomorrow about 3PM news starts to come out that Batshuayi is off, and Chelsea being Chelsea now have to revert to the false 9 again and we have no striker...you can just see this happening.

If Bats isnt involed tomorrow we cant even play the false 9 (being part of the 3 strikers) will end up being 3 cm's with 2 short strikers. could be painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delusional. If we are ever gonna see that, it certainly won't be when his match fitness level is this low. I really like the prospect of having Barkley next to Kante but it is far too early for this I have to agree. I think Barkley has more potential to become a complete no.8 than a no. 10 cos lets be honest his contribution in the final third has never been that great. He creates the most danger coming from deep whether this is from his excellent dribblings, mid-and long range passing as well as shots from distance. He has shown he can overrun the pressing line and set of counter attacks with early balls through the lines. But to become a true creative/attacking midfielder he is simply too big to turn dribble past players the tight spaces around the penalty box. Once Barkley regains some fitness he should have the legs for more defensive responsibilites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 8,996 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Liverpool 2-0 up.. Pressure on us. Not that it matters either way we need a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 16,806 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 So looks like no Batshuayi tomorrow due to him sorting his loan move. No recognized striker in the side for this 😄. Wonder what happens if we need to change things. Pedro up top? Barkley or Cesc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro and Cesc have not played striker since 2011. So my guess is 3-4-3 and cesc on the right in the front 3. But could also be a good first start for Barkley.
