Should be a tight game but also one I would expect to be entertaining at their place.

They are very interesting and have shown already good variety this season, capable of playing long and direct or short and out from the back. They also are effective playing a high press or sitting in a bit deeper, being organised when they have to as they did at times v Liverpool and Arsenal. 

Good to see the referee is in discussion… jesus christ, if we don’t win this, it will be down to us not being good enough or them being too good, not the referee. I mean the fans of the smaller clubs are the ones who usually moan about referees being appointed to their games because traditionally at the bigger teams stadiums, they would maybe not get the same decisions. Now people on here are complaining about it because they appointed Anthony Taylor for one of our away games…. the tin foil hats are back in full force.

 

Even if you ignore conspiracy theories and the bias, the fact is like Vesper said, the guy has put in substandard refereeing performances. 

Not the person you would want in a tricky away game right after the international break.

Like you said, it could be a tight game. Doesn't take much to upset the odds.

Personally, I hope for something anticlimactic  and we just blow them to smithereens leaving Taylor unable to mess it up for us. But that's just wishful thinking at this point.

Chelsea have won two of their last 11 matches played with Taylor as referee. Five penalties have also been given against Chelsea in those 11 matches. I am not even including red cards.

This is the task ahead Chelsea  this weekend.

With   other words RIP This game .

During the International break my family watched season one of Ted Lasso on Apple. I am jonsing so bad for a real match!! I mean I watched the USA WC qualifiers, but our head coach is soo bad even the wins get me angry with his bizarre starting XI.

Our best 2 CB’s both injured. That’s terrible news coming out of an international break against a team that will be extremely well prepared and is already tough to deal with. Silva and Toni are also huge factors on set plays and corners at both ends as well so these are huge losses.

And Pulisic, man. He’s injured like 90% of the time. He’s been injured so long I don’t even remember what’s wrong with him.

He is a Jets fan, that is what is wrong with him!

Is he? I would have assumed he is for one of the PA teams since he is Hershey boy.

Thiago is not injured, he is in quarantine. Still no good situation but at least healthy.

He might be. He was on the Jets sideline in Spurs stadium in Jets gear for the London NFL game last weekend.

Lukaku fit. 

Silva out

Rudiger out. 

Ziyech out

Pulisic out

 

Regarding the latter two, both are proving their cases they shouldn't be here. How many months in the past year have these two been fit at the same time?

 

Mendy

Azpilicueta Christensen Chalobah

James            Kante Ruben         Chilwell

Mount

Lukaku Werner

With our best defenders out this will be itchy af.  Probably a scoring draw...

Flick the sucker cramped Rüdiger into that shitty plane to fkin Macedonia which is exactly what you want to do with a spine patient.

If a there ever was a game to fulfill the definition of a banana skin fixture to a T it is this one. Will be genuinely surprised if we took home all 3 points.

It's actually more Pulisic's performances that grate me more than his injury's.

If he (most of the time) gave us top form when he does play (ala what Ledley King did for Spurs) It would somewhat soften the blow but he was an American Iwobi for the entirety of last season bar two games. Werner for all his finishing frustrations is a much more productive member of the squad.

And unless Tuchel sees him as an option for the wingback role I simply can't see how he gets back in the side, even as an impact sub.

Why is Ziyech out? Proof that people are overreacting with international football. He stayed in Cobham and still got injured 🤦‍♂️

He has been suffering for headaches in the last two training sessions.
