I'm going, first time to Stamford Bridge, looking forward to it. My ticket arrived today Hope we do sell out eventually.

He didn't start for Albania yesterday He's better as an impact sub

I don't think we're in must win territory but this will be a good barometer of where we are. I predict 10 points from the next 5 so we can lose this and we'll still be on track. Don't think we'll lose though, Leeds are not as good as they were and I wouldn't be surprised if Bielsa walks at some point, as he has a history of doing so...

Ralph's got two weeks to fix it on the training ground. I'm sure we'll see a different approach and one which will see us pick up a fair amount of points. The goals will come.

He doesn't, he just gets involved far too much for a VAR. He needs to rein it in.

I'd be disappointed if we didn't win at least three of those. We are better than Burnley, Watford and Norwich, we need to show it. Think we'll beat one of Leeds and Villa as well.

Agree with this.

We have had the hardest start by a country mile. So the fact we're not in the relegation zone, and three teams with far easier fixtures are worse than us, would suggest we'll be fine this season. Which we will be. Not sure how we'll do against Leeds but we'll definitely beat Burnley, Watford and Norwich.

Not a red card. Played well really though. Next five games critical now. Think we'll move up the table

Hmmmm I'd have stuck with Armstrong and Adams tbh

It will be a surprise if we get anything

https://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england&tid=10 Interesting table here. If you look at the played opponents column, it shows that we have had the hardest start in the league by some distance, and that after Chelsea, it gets a bit easier for us.

Yeah fair enough. My view is they are both here for the long term so we need to try and make it work. Think Broja was fairly anonymous when he came on though.

Bielsa won't last the season. When the going gets tough, he has a very long history of quitting.

I'd swap Adams with Broja. But yes agreed, Armstrong and Djenepo our most creative midfielders

They lost at home to West Ham and we didn't... We'll see next month I guess. But yes, I'd say we're better than Leeds

Anyone know when Stuart Armstrong is back? It's quite obvious we miss him. He makes us tick going forward.

He'll be fine. He's a goalscorer. I'm more concerned about the lack of creativity in midfield.

It's fewer, not less We're better than all those teams. So calm down.

Focus on defending because we'll need to against Chelsea. After that, get the attack fine tuned. Think playing KWP over Perraud was a mistake. KWP is good but if we're going to play Livramento, we need a left footed player on the left.

We're not going down, don't worry. Norwich, Watford, Burnley, Newcastle, Leeds are worse than us.

Not good enough at all.

Yup, agree with all the above. If we really have progressed from being a team on the fringes of the relegation zone to being a regular top half team again, this is a game we should be winning.

Think we'll win this one. 2-0
