My goodness, a thread about football! Sadly Chelsea have plenty of quality in reserve - although replacing Luiz and Mata is not easy even for them. Luiz may make the odd error, but for 99.5% of the time he is imperious.
Id rather face their proper "A Team". Reasoning being that they're more likely to expect to play and with less effort than a team full of "B Team" players who will be going all out to impress. I'm still sticking to my 0 - 3 prediction though.
I somehow doubt that Chelsea will be that worried, a lot of strength in depth down there, they even have some kids by all accounts that are pretty good. Of course we don't know what we can do. Hopefully surprise them like we did Arsenal the last time out in our first season.
