Agree completely. Dele is a wet dream for someone like Kante, like taking candy from a baby.
Sadly we are not blessed with options in the 'someone good in possession' category.

GLC retains possession well. Ndombele is a different style (a chance creator, rather than a ball retainer if you like) but either would be better than Dele

I think our only hope tomorrow is that we actually have no hope.
A bit like the City game.

With our likely lack of options tomorrow I'd play Tanguy as a No.10 behind Kane to free him of too much defensive work. GLC could play the 3rd CM in a sort of 3511 formation if he is fit and ready to play.
They play 4-3-3 so I wouldnt go 3 at the back. Otherwise our fullbacks get pinned back and it becomes a back 5. Better to have our back 4 marking their 3 forward, and 3 on 3 in midfield IMO

WTF is this OMT? I thought I turned the corner for us, created a proper OMT. A rousing motivational speech, match details, and instilling confidence…
what happens next? Just a predicted fudging team. Are we really back to amateur hour already?!

Point about the back 4 remains. 442 is the best counter to 343 IMO

---Emerson--Romero--Dier---Reguilon---
----Moura-----Skipp-----PEH------GLC-----
--------------Son-------Kane-------------
rationale:
- Back 4 picks up their back 3, with Dier marking Lukaku (he's stronger than Sanchez and Romero). Romero, our best CB, fills in the gaps
- 4 midfielders to match-up against their 4. GLC brings some ability to retain the ball. I wanted to have Ndombele in there rather than Skipp but there is zero chance that Nuno would go for that
- Kane and Son to tear their back 3 apart

The tactic should be from the kick off dier runs as fast as he can from the back and does a flying two footed studs up bombardment on lukaku that ends his season and dier’s by way of extra f.a. ban.
This in turn sparks a massive brawl in which if we plan it correctly results in the chavs having more players sent off in the brawl than us.
Game then continues with something like 8 players each or with a bit of luck 8 players for them and 9 for us.

Really not looking forward to this game…. A club happy to make up the numbers against one who does all it can to win every game and every competition. Fingers crossed us of us there at the Stadium can support us on to victory as we did against Emirates Marketing Project but I think Chelsea are stronger than us in every area of he pitch as well as off of it as well. We will need lots of luck I think, hopefully we get it.

The term rent boy is homophobic? Even just as I typed that I figure using it as a derogatory term probably is....but then is gigalo in the same pile? If anything it seems more against sex workers than anything but I’m super happy to be enlightened if I’m wrong. Anything is a nice distraction from thinking what Chelsea will do to us considering what Palace did...
Edit - Just to be clear I’m not trying to downplay homophobia issues within football / the stands or say that the song should be sung or anything like that.

I am having my usual irrational feeling that we will show up with everything we have and they won't show up with much more than 70%, which will be enough to see us squeak it.
There is one thing which can save us; make sure the ball does not get to Lukaku's feet. I'd be forcing the ball wide at all times and gambling on the slinger into the box being won more times by us than them.

My heart agrees with you but my head sees a heavier defeat. They are the best team to watch this season. Its not Lukaku I fear but Chelsea's midfield who will run circles around ours. Also their occasional crisp, pacy passing down the wings to catch our defence flat footed.

I was referring to the goon away game next week in that post.

Never heard us sing this before.
Seems to be something only united and pool fans sing at them for some reason. Seems an especially odd thing to chant when its widely recognised the chelsea fans of a certain generation are the most vile, racist and homophobic in the country.
