I'm happy with that line up, although there's 2 or 3 that need to step up. But as i'm happy with it no doubt we'll lose 6-0.

I've no confidence in that team I'm afraid, I think it's going to be 2 or 3 nil to Chelsea. McGinn, Watkins, Digne and Kamara are all just playing too badly. (Yes I know, that's the spirit!}

Happy with that. 4-3-2-1, strong defensively with suppport from McGinn, Kamara and Dougie, any of the three can step forward and break with the attack.

If he was carrying his left leg it’s much worse than we thought.

Yep!  I looked at that Chelsea team and thought how ordinary it looks on paper in comparison with teams they've had in the past.

Given Moreno didn't get on mid week I'm not that surprised he's not there. I'd expect to see him play against Everton though.

I quite like that lineup. Diaby and Zaniolo running at them from the start will be interesting. The worry, as always, is that we concede early, but even then I'd back us to score as long as we don't completely capitulate the way we did against Liverpool.

Ramsey and Duran off the bench isn't a terrible option to have either.

Digne, Kamara, Mcginn should not be starting.

Who should we pick instead? God knows. That should have been dealt with in the summer

Won't be watching.

Digne has been involved in a fair few of our goals this season, has he not?

Wonder if Moreno’s picked up another niggle.

Come on Bouba and SJM step up please.

Not much, no. We've been absolutely battered away in 3 of the 4 away games, and also played really badly in all of them. I think Jackson and Sterling will tear Torres and Digne a new one.

You won’t be watching because you think we might lose?

Or was that just a separate point?
