Crooks up top will be horrendous so I hope it's not him.  We need someone who can run past a jogging pace to cause some sort of threat. 

The only other player we have is Coburn, who's even slower.

I don't think Coburn is slower than Crooks but neither is fast. 

This desire to have someone really fast up top seems to be based on two assumption:

1. We are going to sit back and soak up pressure with the occasional counter attack. Judging by that team, that does not appear to our tactic anymore, if it ever was.

2. Thaigo Silva at 38 is slow. Thiago Silva has never ever been rapid. The fact he is still comfortably playing week in week out in the most demanding league in world tells you there is wayyy more to his game than need to match attackers for pace. This idea we need to stick someone on who will out pace him is very simplistic in my view and rather disrespectful to one of the greatest CBs of his generation

Would be an interesting 100 metre sprint, if you had the spare afternoon to watch it. 

Not happy with the team getting leaked again at all. Shocking tbh. Don’t think you should share it either personally

Damned if you do, damned if you dont

I think the array of top class analysts at Chelsea will have a pretty good idea as to what team we go with, considering everyone is injured.

I won’t release it anymore then

Any given Sunday 

The leaks are worrying because it's the kind of thing that happens when things are starting to go wrong behind the scenes, not because anybody thinks the opposition is monitoring our forums or social media.

Happened for a bit during our poor start to the season and, despite some fear-mongering by some ITKs on here, things never actually seemed to be that bad behind the scenes. Notice that as soon as our results picked up those same ITKs stopped their posts suggesting there were issues at the club. Funny that.

Not ideal but not necessarily a sign that things are hugely wrong either. 
 

Once again, *** you Hugill. I know he didn’t mean to injure him and 99/100 that shove leads to nothing but he can still *** off.

Not sure why you would want to share that if it is the team, you aren't doing anyone any favours.

How are you damned if you don't share? Then no one knows about the leak, so unless you would damn yourself, you're only damned if you share it. Which you shouldn't have.

spelling mistake

Duly noted. No more leaks 👍🏻

Please don't pay attention to random complaints, most are more than happy to see the team. I mean, we got them week in week out under Karanka and that affected nothing.

Again, it's not like the opposition are scouting message boards for lineups.
