What I like about this team is I believe everyone is pretty much playing in their best position ( maybe not Dele?). Chelski will come out all guns blazing this is a must win for them to take the pressure off. Being slightly more defensive with Dier in the middle ( he’s best position with us and England no doubt) would be a great choice. Trippier vs Aurier is hard to say, I think we are just weaker on that side since walker left and I see a goal coming from that side if any. We can get a draw here with this team and that I would snatch right now! We could also win with a little luck but I’ll take the draw!

If you want me to go into depth as to exactly why I sometimes prefer starting others instead of Dele, sling it in his thread and I'll be happy to do so.

Like I said, I don't feel the need to post a starting 11 and then write an essay under it justifying each of my choices.

Already answered questions on Foyth and Lamela re. CM; so, again, another total mischaracterisation, simply because you're too laze to do a little searchy poos - either that or you have trouble reading, which is what I'm leaning towards tbh - before you embarrass yourself with totally flawed questions.

Almost everything you come at me with is completely nonsensical.

You're not the brightest, glo.

If you want to talk about Dele, I'm happy to, but please spare this thread from your personal obsession with me.

Wow! I thought you were more of a lovable eccentric type - but you've exposed yourself as a bit of a narcissistic ****!

we can win this game, Chelsea are out of sorts at the minute and Bournemouth got 3 against them there. I am confident we can get a win here if we do not make rash mistakes at the beginning.

Bearing what you said at the end, who would you say is a better choice for RB? This is the one position that worries me in this game! Yes but like you say no silly mistakes and we play to the best of our ability we can get something out of this game, and hopefully even a win.

Sorry mate but not a chance. We say this every season and every season we end up disappointed at Stamford bridge. Our record is horrendous there and would be typical of us to invite Chelsea back into the top 4. I know I sound negative, but trying to be realistic here. They always turn up against us and we always make vital mistakes when it matters at that s** hole. Draw at best, but I think we are going to lose personally :(

Are you saying that we’ll never ever beat them at SB?

What has happened in the past has no relevance to this game. The reason why we've done badly there is because a) they're a very good team b) they've been better than us on the whole c) we've not prepared properly for this game. Providing we approach the game properly I honestly think we've got a great chance this time.

I don't think so no. Remind me of a more pathetic record away than our woeful record at Stamford bridge?. We have never beaten them at Stamford bridge in premier league history. We find a way of messing it up at their manor all the time.

But it does though mate because we have now gone roughly 27 years without a win there. Think of that for a second...: 27 years!!!!! Without a single win. Our record at Chelsea is horrendous and we had a great chance a few years back when we were 2-0 up, but we still messed it up and ended up drawing with the leicester title winning season. They always find ways to fuck us over and they will do that once again. Surprised you are so confident we can get anything, when stats and previous results show we will get nothing and never do.

I prefer Rose to Davies because I think he's better equipped to handle Willian. I'm pretty confident Poch will end up starting Davies though. Aurier has to start. Trippier vs. Hazard is the stuff of nightmares. The rest of the team is predictable.

Our current squad is better than the ones we had just a few seasons ago. Even the longer serving players are playing better as a unit these days. We can’t keep comparing to the results we had in the past. Even with the disadvantage of not having a proper home ground this season, we have performed better than what many people (including some of our own fans) had expected.

If we keep approaching matches negatively (because of previous records), then we won’t improve. We currently have a squad that can beat Chelsea at SB in April (I’m not saying that we will beat them), especially a Chelsea squad that have other issues (Conte for one) to deal with.

That’s only for Roses speed at getting up and down the pitch, he doesn’t offer us as much going forward anymore so he wouldn’t need to get back anyway! But Poch will probably start Davies. He will sit deeper and keep an eye on him.

I remember when we beat Fergies United at OT for the first time in many years....Bale and Dempsey with the goals
Was the same thing...every unbeaten run will come to an end - and it could be this year, with chelsea struggling

I would settle for a draw...and of course have a bad feeling based on our record but let's hope for the best
