Hey Ed 025 i will put my neck on the block here mate and say we will beat Chelsea at home on Sat, they are by no means perfect and if we stay tight at the back and take our chances up front we can win, Big Sam will have the lads up for this and if he can get a result his street cred will take off, Rooney will be up for this big time, so here goes mate 2-1 for us, will be nice to see Conte cringing in the interview afterwards COYBS.
{Ed025's Note - i would love to think so GB, myself i think chelsea will have a bit too much quality for us mate..

they didn't with West Ham mate.

That was all the West Ham manager GuernseyBlue :-)

West Ham set up with pace up top to hit Chelsea on the counter, I can't see us doing that unless we go with Vlasic for Lennon and maybe Lookman instead of Morgan and go with 4-1-2-3 with Rooney and Sigs playing behind the front 3 and Gana just in front of the back 4.

I’m confused as to why we need to bring in Vlasic for Lennon Bluegray to play on the counter? Lennon is far quicker than Vlasic.
I think DCL and Sig are perfect for the counter, Sig doesn’t have the pace but definitely has the quality.

Have to say Swan I feel Vlasic is more skillful with the pace too, Lennon is more disciplined so will probably get the nod, my opinion is based on skill with the ball at pace.

I'D love the kids to play but the Chelsea game is not the game to start throwing them all in. This will be a tough game and we need some experience in there if were going to stop the likes of Hazard, kante, Willian and co. The only change I would make is McCarthy for Schneiderlin if fit.

Lennon in the big games for me, helps defend from the front, tracks back, has the experience and intelihence and helps prevent the wings from bein exploited. Lookman and vlasic from the bench can change the dynamic of our attack and cuase problems.
