That is certainly an interesting option. 

I dont see why we shouldn't try him. Big strong lad, nippy, got some moves. Tall so good target for Dave. If hes on form he should do it OK

Just wonder if his knock he got is OK. Not seen owt said by Sarri tho.

I suggested it weeks (also months?) ago and got smacked down.

Same time as we said to try Pedro as false 9

Before this false nine stuff.

I also said to try Barkley there (at CF AND RW).

Chance to create a gap.. So naturally.... We'll make it super hard

we always make it hard no matter what, even when we're leading and dominating, look at our game vs Brighton days ago. Its in Chelsea DNA to make things difficult, it just adds to the drama.

I can't even fucken laugh at Arsenal because I know our defence is always 5 min away from total combustion. Smh

Alonso going to get targeted again here. That's the one area where Sarri has let me down. I'm fine with everything else he has done. But starting Alonso every PL match without fail is crazy.

Who knows, maybe today will be one of those matches where he scores and isn't caught out of position over and over. Not holding my breath.

InB4 post pointing out Alonso starts again

Edit: Pizy beat me to that  

Looks like Alonso will start all 38 games at this rate.

Plot twist: Hazard still plays #9 , Giroud is on the wing.

[Jase 43,479]

CHO, Pedro also still injured of course.

[Special Juan 28,100]

Not sure if Giroud starting is right, I would of preferred to see Hazard as the false 9 again.

Good sign that 4-5 injuries do not reduce the squad to fielding youth players
