Can we get something against Chelsea

[toonfalifekevbrown]

We have been known to play better against the top teams .So can we nick a point or the win against Chelsea ? Or will we get dry humped .I'm going for the draw

[Geordie1974]

Fancy a draw as well.

We do, funnily enough, play better against the better teams at home...we generally get howked away.

But, we won't have Kenedy-aye, he was terrible yesterday but he hasn't become a bad player overnight and one or both of either Perez and Joselu will start so we're on the back foot already. They looked frightening for long periods yesterday and whilst Arsenal caused them problems at the back, we don't have the players to trouble them.

Can't see us getting anything out of this one, sadly.

[Geordie1974]

Got to start Rondon in this one.Cant continue with Joselu.

[Zippity]

Definitely. I'd like Muto to have longer to make an impact, too, but Rafa isn't going to start with two up front.

Perez will be in for his graft.

(I actually think Ghost made a very good point before about Perez being more effective in a more attacking team...in which case.... )

[toonfalifekevbrown]

I think rondon will start .and we won't play2 up top but Perez rondon and shelv are key to this game

[Zippity]

I'd like to see Murphy get a start as opposed to Atsu cos we'll need someone to replace Kenedy.

[toonfalifekevbrown]

We don't have much to pick from tbh but Murphy I'm sure will be ready

[TheBigSausage]

We have no strikers .. Joselu got 4 last season and Rondon got 7 ..be amazed if we got anything.. Except beat

[ex_pat_magpie]

Of course we can but at the same time and Cardiff being an example we can drop down to their levels.
