Hi HRH.

You was right about Lennon

chadli's return to fitness is great timing... he will be a very useful option over this hectic fixture list.

anyone know when townsend is back ?

Kane didnt really man-mark Barry like Eto'o did Bentaleb though

Not man mark but told to close down as soon as he had possession!

They done a thing on sky where they showed how many goals come from the CMs losing possession inside their own half

Under no circumstances would I bring Paulinho on

We need to find a buyer somehow

No idea on Townsend tbh

Me neither

I think if Kane chases shadows like he did for portions of the match vs Everton, then we will struggle vs Chelsea. Need Kane to sit right beside Fabregas permanently.

Fabregas will open us up

think Sunderland just showed us how to defend vs Chelsea

Paulinho was good when he came on, gave that extra energy to run into channels with the ball. I hated the sub at the time though.

Didnt see it........Was it a very big bus though?

Not really let Chelsea have the ball in and around halfway and literally closed of any space around from the 18 yard box!

Fabregas just couldn't do anything as no space to play balls into!

Was a top job

Not too worried about the right side on Wednesday, even with Hazard, as Lennon and Naughton will be pretty hardworking and compact.

It's the little combinations of Fabregas, Oscar and William down our left. We really need the CM boys to be on it, as they will pull us about with Eriksen tending to stay narrow.

I'd love to start the same side, but I think it will struggle against these. Our best bet would probably be a proper 4411, with hardworking wide players keep it really disciplined as Sunderland did, and hit them quick on the break.

Big decisions to be made then though, not popular ones either

I'd start the same XI purely because they deserve it ( subject to injuries )

Fabregas got far too much time on the ball vs Sunderland. I thought it was a matter of time before he found an opening, he was off his game and misplaced far too many passes though.

I would start the same side, I think it is possibly our best combination (except Walker in). We are highly likely to lose vs Chelsea, so why not gain some great experience with the same XI.

I honestly don't care if we lose but if we do I want it to be because they had to work for the win and not because we've folded and rolled over
