Panna King Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 If Arsenal didn't need to win this game so bad to get Champions League football, the right thing would be for Arsenal and Chelsea to boycott this final.
Cicero Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Kante unavailable. That's Rudiger, Kante, and Reuben Loftus-Cheek out.
True Blue Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Kovačić, Jorginho and Barkley you can taste the creativity. On a serious note this midfield will be raped.
carefreeluke Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 We haven't had this much bad luck with injuries in ages. Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek, Kanté, Rudiger all out. The first three are actually pivotal to us as well. It's true that it remains to be seen if Kanté is actually out but the reports don't look good.

I will be honest I am not expecting much from this sadly... If we win then great obviously, but if we lost I wouldn't be surprised, key players missing and more importantly players that could make a difference on the night... We still have a decent squad on paper but how creative and defensively solid we end up being is anybody's guess.. Just hope they put in a decent fighting performance..
True Blue Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Think it would be a good option to pair Azpilicueta and Luiz at CB as Christensen is shaky as tits. With Emerson/Alonso and Zappacosta covering the flanks. Won't happen tough.
Chaaay AFC Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I'd feel a lot more comfortable if we had Ramsey available always causes Chelsea problems and he was so important in our victory over them earlier in the season. He nullified Jorginho whilst creating an attacking threat. I presume Emery will go with Özil which is a worry because I'd imagine Jorginho will be given the whole pitch similar to the game at the Bridge. Going to be a tough one, I feel this is massively in the hands of Hazard though. Our right side is pretty weak defensively, so if he turns up I feel it will be curtains for us. Going to be a close one, hopefully we can do it although as proven this season and over the last few years this team usually collapses when the pressure is on.
Cicero Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Kante couldn't complete training and didn't even do any ball work. Basically confirming that he will be unavailable tomorrow.
Cicero Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Club already confirmed that incident wasn't connected. He was pissed off the training session was open to observers.

All the mood music around Chelsea is bad at the moment, even if they win I think it's likely Sarri will go.

The video they showed cuts immediately to Sarri's reaction. Playing it out as if the Luiz/Higuain incident had him leave the training session in frustration. The media are so desperate to see him sacked. Full video. You can clearly see, the players leave before him. His frustration is down to not being able to train set-plays as it remained open to media. Not because Luiz and Higuain got into a scrap

Not because Luiz and Higuain got into a scrap Why would it matter anyway, his reaction is pathetic for a fully grown man and would suggest something quite wrong? He's in his 60s for god's sake. I'd imagine the hierarchy of Chelsea will be quite worried to have a manager embarrassing the club like that. Imagine if Mourinho had done it.

I'm not justifying his behavior. Merely defending what actually happened vs what the media interpreted. Chelsea hierarchy feeling embarrassed. That's gold. Should remind them of the Drinkwater deal.
The Artful Dodger Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Well we'll leave that to interpretation, the club are obviously trying to spin a story as much as anyone. I'll bow to your knowledge if you're the expert in human behaviour you claim to be.
Panna King Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 I am getting ready to finger some serious ass later.

Video clearly shows all of the players finishing training with Sarri behind them. Don't have to be an expert to see the media are painting something that didn't happen.
6666 Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Chelsea should show some national pride and just let us win so there can be 5 English teams in the Champions League.
