I think Doucoure may be a bit tired at the end of the match, can't ever remember us picking 5 attacking players before, COYP

Can anyone suggest a link or stream please?

I worry about Ward in a central defensive role (actually any role!). We need another holding midfielder, can't see Eze or Olise defending with any resistance. Says alot about the opposition when they can afford to sit Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Ziyech and Gallagher on the bench.

Ward's always been alright centrally. The issue starts if they launch a load of high balls or crosses into the box. There's no denying that Andersen's probably been our best player recently, but Ward always gives his all.
I was thinking the Chelsea bench is probably worth more than our entire team - which isn't that unusual when we play the moneybags teams. It's annoying but I guess we root for the underdog.
Wilf to score today - can we keep them out?
