Think we may see a slight change in game. With Burn going more LB and Tino pushed up more central in midfield. We need to control initiative a bit more against 10 IMO.

Good half. Can’t complain, everything spot on and our nervy moments didn’t yield any clear chances. We group, talk through approach against 10 men and hopefully add a second within 10 mins of 2nd half. Because Chelsea will then lose heads and that’s that. Tonali is once again a joke. Can accept his off week last game.

I think Isak has been great today? Just not played the ball into him enough.

One of those occasion where’s a pacey CB kills that attack.

Does feel a 4-3-3 change early 2nd half may be required as this set up doesn’t help against 10 men IMO.

Keep our heads and let Chelsea implode, we just need to keep playing the same and don’t get too ahead of ourselves.

That’s a clear red man

Just shoot man. Again, Sanchez is a shit goalkeeper.

Switch of sides for the wingers to see what happens now. Reckon that’s to help Murphy out more on defensive side.

Feels like they’re starting to get some joy on Murphy / Schar side. Bit worrying.

Wish we shoot more when near area as Sanchez is a shite keeper. Tino and Gordon had two chances.

We need to go to Gordon on those counters, too often Barnes has slowed it and played an underhit ball to Murphy.

That’s a yellow. Was it a foul by Caicedo for the goal? Never saw a replay on it.

Big Willy time early doors?

Gordon has Caicedo on toast already

How many times this season have we defended a kick off and conceded a shot / corner within 20 seconds?

LETS GET INTO THESE CHEATING CUNTS

If we were undecided as a club if Willock should be sold, this month has made up their minds IMO. Not good enough for XI but then not reliable enough as a squad option.

Yea, be 3-4-3 / 5-2-3. Murphy and Tino wing backs, with Barnes and Gordon on wings. Wouldn’t rule out it being interchangeable with personal on pitch. Could see it being a 4-4-2 we’ve done at times with Gordon alongside Isak and Burn LB.

Cup final time. Win today, we can fuck off about ‘this and that’. Would just be a case of winning final home game of season which we would all take every season.

Sit back and counter job today? Which would be different than most of our home game approaches. Considering how bad Chelsea struggle against sides that sit deep, feels on paper logical way if we can keep Palmer off the ball as much as possible.

Very interesting team selection this. We’ve no doubt been working on it all week so will be interesting to see. Gordon v Caicedo will be huge. Destroyed him against Brighton when he played RB.

Man Utd one last season was fairly huge. Losing that meant it was not in our hands.

Some big calls to be made. Does Joelinton start? Do we start both Gordon and Barnes? Think we will go same XI as last game, with Joelinton on bench. Hope will be he’s not needed. We’ve got some big game players, and it feels if just one of them turn up, we win. Last week, they all didn’t really turn up (Isak / Tonali / Bruno).

What’s the odds on premier league clubs quickly coming together to put some rule in place like sales to Saudi league must be under club record levels, if they offer £90m+
