Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted August 25, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 25, 2022 Maddison doubtful apparently. Christ. Chelsea are in real bother if they can't beat this version of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,827 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Brighton are our bogey team. No win against them in the four games we've played since we returned to the top flight, and only two wins in the last 14 against them in the Football League. They are in good form too. I think I'd happily take a point there and move on to Everton home next Tuesday. It's almost a certainty it will be the same team as Chelsea although Sinisterra has done himself no harm of an appearance withhis performance v Barnsley last night. Going to stick my neck out and say 1-1. Welbeck for them, Rodrigo for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 We should still have enough to put these lot away even though we’re in shit form. Anything but three point from this is very concerning considering the run of games we have after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Chelsea vs Leicester looks like it should be a TV match. If Villa beat West Ham, and that is certainly a sizeable if given the recent history of head to heads.. does Moyes start nearing the top of the sack race..? On the other hand, a repeat of the last West Ham visit to Villa Park moves the Hammers above Villa.. and would likely put some rather hot plates under Gerrard's feet.. Villa's next matches: West Ham (h) Arsenal (a) Man City (h) Leicester (a) I remember the days there'd be 3 nailed on Villa wins & a quite optimistic trip to North London.. these days? It's more brown trousers time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,267 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Kovacic not fully sharp and expected to only get 20mins. Kepa Azpilicueta Silva Cucurella James Jorginho Ruben Chilwell Mount Sterling Pulisic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,393 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted August 26, 2022 Maddison has a 'twinge' picked up in training apparently Fuck knows how we'll get any kind of goal(s) if he's missing. Expect a comfortable Chelsea win. Sterling to get his first goal for the club. Maybe even Cucurella because we're that generous. Ward Castagne - Soyuncu - Evans - Justin Ndidi - Tielemans Praet - KDH - Barnes Vardy Is probably what it should be. No doubt it'll be more like a 3-5-2 which is not successful, doesn't get the best out of our players and is totally and utterly pointless. Rodgers usually likes to match up to the opposition so this falls into his hands. I just cannot envisage any kind of success here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted August 26, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted August 26, 2022 Maddison is the only player really of late saving us from total hopelessness. I get Chelsea have their problems but we're in that kind of state where I don't think we'd beat anybody in the league so I'm expecting a comfortable home win. Similar game to the one in May but you actually make it count. 2-0 to Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush 298 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I wonder if Maddison's injury has got anything to do with a *cough* prospective transfer *cough*. Martin Debravka was miraculously sick against tranmere following man united links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without his presence I can imagine another lackluster performance as it really is an incredibly task apparently to get this lot motivated from the get go.

Administrator Stan 18,393 Posted August 27, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted August 27, 2022 I think Rodgers has actually lost it. Amartey still gets persisted with. Praet RW.

Danny 2,207 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 No Ajer, Pinnock or Jansson which is difficult. But still having Mee and Zanka is great depth. Hopefully we see more from Lewis-Potter and Damsgaard today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 5,105 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 It is good to see Ruben Loftus-Cheek is getting his career back on track. Seemed like every time he started, something bad happened and stop his momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
