Honestly not sure of what logic is behind playing Mudryk at LWB but it does seem like people have a hard on for shoehorning him in the team/playing him from the start when he’s done fuck all bar a cameo v Liverpool. I mean he did get a run of starts and looked off the pace, resulting in behind subbed in basically all of them IIRC. He didn’t have much impact in the previous game v Dortmund either bar maybe one half decent moment. Edited March 7, 2023 by OneMoSalah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Probably gonna go back to our drawing/losing ways for this one. Especially considering Dortmund are in one of the best forms in whole Europe - 11 wins in a row. We are in one of the worst. We are missing Silva and Badiashile, will most likely concede at least 1 and that's game over. So yeah, I don't have high hopes for this game. I would however take consolation if Potter got sacked after this. Edited March 7, 2023 by manpe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are a top club with such great players like we have, sooner or later things start going your way once again. I strongly believe that tonight is the night this happens for us.

HEREIAM 83 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 If we lose Potter is sacked, needs to give himself a chance by dumping the useless Havertz (but he wont) i would pick KEPA AZPI, FOFANA, KK JAMES, KOVA, ENZO, CHILLY MUDRYK, STERLING, FELIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Boehly is a hard read. After the win he was asked about the win and his reaction was, "It is a result". It was not a lot of enthusiasm about the win, almost like the result interfered with his plans. Perhaps I am reading too much into what he said and how he said it?

Who are those "great" players you're referring to? Silva is out, Kante too probably... struggling to name anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. 2 minutes ago, manpe said: Who are those "great" players you're referring to? Silva is out, Kante too probably... struggling to name anyone else. James comes to mind. Aside from them, the term "great" player is generally a reference to those that possess some talent, aka Felix, Havertz, etc. Edited March 7, 2023 by LAM09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koulibaly, Fofana, Reece, Chilwell, Enzo, Felix, Sterling are great players. Just like Chelsea is clearly the better team between these two and it was only an accident that we didn't get a good result in the first leg. We just need to make things click for once and I am confident that it will happen tonight. I understand using form as an argument, but the overall quality of our squad is clearly way above Borussia Dortmund's, with all due respect.

The names you mentioned have yet to show anything resembling greatness for Chelsea this season. Squad quality on paper means jack shit, just ask all the lesser teams we've lost to/drawn with this season. If we somehow go through this round I'll be most pleasantly shocked.
