I asked ARIA AI in opera android web browser the last time Chelsea played a Switzerland club team in a competitive match because on 11v11.com It would take to long to find the answer.

 

25 April 2013 was the last time we played against Switzerland club team.

 

ARIA AI answer.

The last time Chelsea FC played against a Swiss football club in a competitive match was on April 25, 2013, when they faced FC Basel in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals. Chelsea won that match 2-1.

Additionally, Chelsea is set to play against Servette in the UEFA Conference League playoffs on August 22, 2024, marking their first competitive fixture in Switzerland since the match against Basel.

11 players he is planning to start against Wolves shouldn't step the foot on the pitch here.

With Disasi looking like starting,we better play Jorgenson,somebody that can intentionally bypass our CB's with passes  rather than Sanchez who passes to any opposition player in the gaps between our CB's.

I said I never wanted us to be in this competiton.

When I mentioned this to me mate Den Da Den Den he said he does and wants us in it and win it, then we would have won every competition at some time…he’s got a point.

What do y’all think about it?

win it

you can only win what is set before you

Servette blocked Braga attackers quite effectively in Portugal so they held them to a 0-0 draw.
But at home they lost 2-1.
The home advantage is rapidly diminishing in European football.

Absolutely! Win everything. That's the whole point ain't it?

Yes, there is a time to prioritize, but this isn't it. With the roster we have now, we could prob field 3 diff teams for 3 comps. 😅

Should be pretty tough this, with the squad looking thread bare can see a draw.

speaking of Swiss footie sides

[cosmicway 1,326]

The Swiss have never eliminated a Greek team.
But they eliminated Chelsea in 2012-13 (FC Zurich ?).

Wolfswinkle would do well there then!

[Special Juan 27,429]

No Reece tomorrow he is injured

[Fulham Broadway 16,862]

Adarabioyo was not included in the 21-man A List of senior players, for Europa Conference matches, but that was then updated today. UEFA confirmed that an admin error meant the defender was mistakenly not included.

Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell are all also missing from the squad, but unlike Adarabioyo have not been added.

I would prefer Tuesday matches, but I am glad to have midweek matches again, even if it is this Mickey Mouse tournament. I do want us to win it, it will be nice to say we have won them all again.
