The first guard of honour and one of our fallen challengers (Though that’s like saying my horse nearly won the Grand National).
After a Thursday game against the mighty Swedish giants Djugarden will Chelsea be focused on this and will we have recovered from hang overs.
Hopefully not another repeat of last time lads.
Don’t even care now.
But then smash them , they are shit.
Eat your heart out Lavia and Caicedo.
Hangover for you, hangover for you, HANGOVERS FOR EVERYONE!
Chiesa to score 5.
Start Endo. Have him shake hands with Lavia and Caicedo during the guard of honour, then sub him off as soon as we kick off and have him shake their hands again as he comes off.
They joined Chelsea for the history remember.
Nah..no need to waste a sub for that.
Mac to shake hands with Caicedo should be enough to know what Caicedo has missed.
Grav with some neat runs past Lavia should be enough to put some tears down Lavia’s throat
Sub Endo in later so that Endo San gets in his tackles.
I’m actually surprised they aren’t injured.
I do think one of the two will fake an injury too.
I’ll miss this game anyhow as I’m on the train.
And when the reality finally strikes those guys , they’ll realise that we’ve won the toughest league with no dedicated defensive midfielder.
Hasn’t ever been done in the league before. And probably will never be done later.
Football evolves.
I think if we win this one there’s a good chance we’ll finish the season with a 19+ points lead which would be a new record in the PL.
Not in this case.
Teams will double down on a #6 as a starter.
I’m not so sure.
Shows you can probably adapt to that system without nesscarily having one.
Slot’s first real test
How do we deal after a 6 day bender?
Which, in itself, is like saying that Chelsea are now Birdseye’s lasagne and glue…
Chelsea still have something to play for in terms of European places in the league. Our guys are like the last few days in school after the exams when they turn up in civvies and play Hungry Hungry Hippos until the break.
The next 4 games do give Slot a chance to experiment and bring fringe players more into the team - not a wholesale change but a few faces to see how they would copy with no real downside to the result.
I suppose you could say that this is Slot’s first big test…
Must win game.
We would not want to start our reign as defending champions with a loss
Whatever it takes to get Mo Salah ahead of everyone on the historic goal/assists list.
Chiesa, Endo, Quansah to get minutes in next few matches.
I know the work is done, we are champions…but I want a finish with style and effort. Don’t let it slowly peter out…let the cunts know we are only revving for next season.
