Can we recall Samba Diakite so he can chop him in half? Maybe put Onouha RB with Isla in front. Barton. ,Henry taking it in turns to kick him. Phillips up top with Austin.
Their whole team are a bunch of fairies. We should make every tackle a bone cruncher so they shite it the whole match. Only prob is the ref is already in mourongo's pocket so he'll be dishing out cards like adealer at a blackjack table They'll prob try and get Barton red carded I imagine.

We need to make it unpleasant for them on and off the pitch.
On the Guardian Football Weekly podcast yesterday Philippe Auclair was saying that there have been quite a few games where Chelsea have played badly and Hazard has dragged them through the match.

I was thinking about sticking Ned at RB(only if Dunne is fit * really fit) which is a shame because its not his strongest position but Isla has been proper pony lately.I'd drop Isla ,you can't sacrifice Matty's contribution on the right.. I'd bring on Isla later on once Bobby is fecked and move Phillips inside to support Charlie.

Isla could not handle Benteke.
However I wonder if he might be better than Ned against Hazard (as like Hazard Isla is small and nimble).

One thing they mentioned, which I hadn't known before, is that Matic and Fabregas are both one yellow away from a two game ban and their next two games are Arsenal and Man Utd, so there's a chance Mourinho might leave them out. Matic in particular is massive, almost as important as Hazard.

But Isla does not know how to defend. Crouching down a bit with your hands behind your back whilst letting your oppo get cross after cross in is not good..
I think a nice early stud rake down the Achilles when the ref isn't looking might be the best. Someone unusual like Matty Phillips to be given the task.
If we can get one of those sellophane things that Superman used to capture General Zod, that might be an option. If not, a swift karate chop to the knackers from Sensei Jo Ey San.
'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'
As much as I don't rate the bloke, Sandro is key in this game. If he plays how he usually does we don't have a chance. If he plays like he once did, he and Barton can match them.

F'cking wish the Man was fit .We could do with another masterclass.

wouldnt play sandra from the start sat , to slow and will get easily out played in the middle , henry or even doughty to come in alongside barton need some pace in there through the middle
its who plays on the left wing for me which is the main concern
Put Karl Henry on him all game with the job of following him like a shadow and if you get a chance in a 50/50 hurt the little prick. Press them high up the pitch so that they can,t play out from the back. Also if we can hurt the chief of the KKK permanently that would be good.
He is too good to man mark and will upset any rhythm we are trying to create. He is a class above the rest of his team and has carried them through games lately but he isn't a constant threat. We have to concentrate and not get caught short on the break and his annoying ability to manufacture fouls (unnecessarily) is something we must be aware of. We will struggle to stop him having an impact so it's more about what we can do at the other end. Matic and Willian are key players, with Willian extremely under-rated for them.
They are a dull functional team that will win the league based on the failings of others. He has taken the likes of Fabregas and Willian and turned them into defensive players. can't doubt his achievements but I feel his teams do under achieve with the millions he has to throw at it.
From our point of view, what's been impressive in the last 2 games is the high percentage of chances we have taken so long may it continue as we may not get too many here. we score 1st we have a chance.
Ned at RB might work. Remember when he completely nullified Bale at LR too. An excellent defender. Only issue is who you'd put in the middle. Clint, assuming Yun is back?

I said Ned at RB thinking Dunne was fit .Hoping Dunne was fit ..I'd put Clint at LB back before Yun . Yeah I know ,pace and that but Yun has been somewhere else for the last 3 odd games..He's been a liability.
