Match Day Thread Chelsea v Watford

CHELSEA v WATFORD
Saturday 4th July 2020
Kick Off: 2000 BST

We need the points please!​

 

All we are saying,(to start with) is give us a goal

 

Just the one? I think we'll need at least four.

 

That is to start with!

 

People saying drop Deeney because he does nothing for the team.

Well yes he maybe isn't playing at his best but the options are hardly great.

Alternatives are someone who'd rather have a party than prepare for a game , another who we never quite sure when he might get injured and a kid.

We probably need more quality around Deeney at least - even Sarr looked a little lost and disinterested last game.

Anyway we will be doing a lot of defending so hopefully we can stay full focused.

Again what we lack is a defender who can be quick, solid and concentrate all game.

 

Play Deeney as a sweeper - two out of three isn't too bad.

 

But who would be "wack the ball" up to as people say we do!?

Probably looks worse because Deeney gets beaten in the air and we give the ball away so it's up to the midfield and wide men to get the ball out wide and cross like Holebas did last week.

 

Bit of a milestone for Jon Marks tonight as it is his 550 commentary on WFC.

 

You are going to love this ..

Mariappa in!

Kabasele and Chalobah too.

Cathcart , Masina and Pereyra out.

 

The Hornets haven't won since the Premier League restarted last month and tonight's opponents Chelsea have won their last three at home.

Nigel Pearson's men desperately need some points to put some daylight between themselves and the rest of the relegation zone, with just one point and one position separating them at the moment.

The Hornets have scored just twice since the league's resumption, one of which was an own goal. Nevertheless assistant coach Craig Shakespeare insists he is not worried by their lack of goals.

Relying on Sarr's pace ?

He is going need to help Mariappa against the American guy.

 

To be fair, he at least shows commitment. Had he been playing against Southampton I doubt Ings would have scored his first goal - Mapps would have blocked him from taking the shot.

Seems odd putting Kiko on the left and leaving out Holebas though.

 

Yes agreed.

Not like the other defenders have done better.

Something difffent although think Masina has done ok.

Probably won't matter who plays I hate to say.

Big target man up front - maybe one for Dawson then Kabasele and co to deal with wide man.

Capoue and Doucouré need to be on it.

 

Good evening!
As OFH said we need points but I doubt we will get any tonight but you never know, Wet Spam beat them.

enjoy the game and don't get too depressed as we arn't expecting points today but we were in the last 3 games, I was hoping for 3/4 from those matches.

 

DT this morning said Dawson was banned, obviously not and why they had that info I don't know.

 

I have the game on Sky...
Come on you horns.. Just a point!

 

surely no drinks break this evening?
