he is in the unofficial doghouse ever since he left and went to the bus during the game

Marcos Alonso, the Chelsea left back, is among the players who will be suspended for the opening group match of the 2020-21 Champions League season. The Spanish international will not be able to play in the first two games of this edition after seeing red in the first leg of the last 16 clash against Bayern Munich.

 

Definitely says the first two games? 🤔

Rudiger went from being almost sold or loaned out and 5th choice to suddenly starting ahead of Christensen AND Tomori. 

Yeah its bonkers but whatever as long as we do our business end of it

[Hutcho 8,443]

So first 3.5 pages moaning about playing a weakened team, could be a slip up etc.
Frank picks a strong team.
Concerns about not giving players a rest.
Just how does FL win on this board? Genuinely? 
Can't we just be positive and see where that takes us, for one game? [emoji848][emoji1787]

He doesn't mate. People will cry and whine about any and every little thing. It's how it works.

That's a great lineup. Let's get at it. KTBFFH

Zouma, Havertz and Werner doesnt make sense ... even Chilwell could be rested. Not sure why is Lampard trying to overplay Werner, he will burn out.

Krasnodar have only 7 players on the bench and 2 of them are keepers...

[Hutcho 8,443]

Great line-up but don't you agree that it's weird to see Rudiger start?

I don't care tbh mate. The inner politics matters not one bit. Silva rightfully rested. He has to play one someone else in there. Why we nitpicking about who's 3rd choice cb. Sure id have played tomori but he hasn't so I hope rudiger has a great game

That’s a good thing. Hope he remains banned forever. 

Mana you crack me up mate 👍🤣🤣🤣

I don't disagree with his lazy defending, but liked his odd goal here and there 👍

If the players get tired or burnt out and not performing at their best, we'll be wondering why...

before the team was picked, I said I hope Azpi is rested

he is ageing

Reece is young

I stand by that logic

They are clearly not playing at their best now.

So the Manager has 2 options:

1) Keep them playing 

2) Drop them

Which would you choose? And who would you play instead?

Yeah I can't see Azpi lasting the whole game. His legs will go south quicker and he will sadly end up like Iva. Such a shame to see really 😕

Really nice looking XI full of quality attackers. Only real concern is that there's not likely to be much chemistry between a lot of them yet so this may look kinda sloppy.

Absolutely no excuses here, though. Anything but all 3 points would be unacceptable.

Erm, Abraham? Mount?

And not to mention, our next game is on Saturday and it's a 3pm kick off away from home. 

[NikkiCFC 7,579]

Mount not starting 2 games in a row first time ever for Chelsea! 🤩

[Alabama 1,992]

Surprise surprise...Mount not in the line up again...

So you would drop them for Abraham (fucking worse than useless) and Mount (who gets slated on this site non stop).

Ok.

Glad you're not the manager 🤣🤣🤣
