Chelsea 4 Morecambe 0 LIVE thread

[Keith]

In case you are still looking (Tom Collins) here's the direct link to the BBC, starting at 1:20pm

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/55281279

If you have access to iFollow, I don't think video coverage is on there, only audio, in which case, I'm going to ask Freez to make it very obvious as the ball is kicked at kick off, so I/we can pause the video feed until he says "NOW", and then have iFollow commentary with BBC pictures, in synch.

Obviously, being a Chelsea supporter, he may be too excited to do this for Morecambe fans!

Thanks, Keith.

I'm still not clear if it'll be on ESPN or not over here in Peru so appreciate that!

Looking on https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/3858888/chelsea-vs-morecambe/ it looks like it should be on ESPN Sur?

[Slanester]

No Sam Lavelle today. That is so unlucky for the lad.

[Keith]

Radio Blackburn not even covering the build up to the game

Could you imagine, Chelsea v Blackbum/Burnley/Preston/Blackpool/Accrington not being covered?

[Keith]

No Sam Lavelle today. That is so unlucky for the lad.

Gutted for the lad. Out of isolation tomorrow apparently.

[Keith]

If ever there was a game for Slew to repay Derek's faith in him, it is here!

Plenty of quality on the bench too. Let's hope every player does us proud.

[AndyReifman]

Looks like Chelsea are putting out a strong team.

A very tough ask, has been made just that bit harder without SL. As Keith said, absolutely gutted for the lad.

Totally at one with Keith regarding Slew. Just hope that repays the faith shown in him by DA but O'Sullivan had the virus hence the lock down so maybe DA has taken the after effects into consideration when deciding if he started...

Gutted for Sam but we have to live with it....

[Freez]

I can do that, as I’m a Morecambe fan, first!

No Sam Lavelle, is self isolating until tomorrow, gutted for him.

Halstead
Cooney Davis Knight-Percival Hendrie
Songo’o Phillips
Mendes-Gomes Wildig Slew
Stockton

Kepa
Azpilicueta Rudiger Zouma Emerson
Gilmour Mount Havertz
Ziyech Werner Hudson Odoi

So only 10 Internationals...

Shows that Lampard is respecting us, and not taking too much risk with his starting 11.

[Westgate Wanderer]

We are playing at a big famous stadium against a team of internationals worth about £300 million? Full respect to Lampard for not playing the youth team and letting us play against the superstars!

[RapidShrimp]

Kepa
Azpilicueta Rudiger Zouma Emerson
Gilmour Mount Havertz
Ziyech Werner Hudson Odoi

So only 10 Internationals...

That XI cost Chelsea £299.06m... Against us... Frank MUST be scared of his job security!

[Screenster]

Lampard's worried about us, great to see.

So, so gutted for Sam, he mentioned on twitter he'd be doing something for Christian Mbulu were he at the game today.

I like the sentiment WW, and agree that it is great for the lads to be playing against a “serious” team. But pretty sure Lampard would not have considered that in any way(?) He just wants to smash the game.

[redrobo]

All respect to Lampard for his selection. So easy to have gone with his kids...but No a highly experienced squad.

[AndyReifman]

We've looked okay the first 8 minutes, or at least Chelsea don't look great.

Just need to keep our focus.

[AndyReifman]

COME ON!

That looked a sure goal. Kepa is definitely going to be their weak link.

[Keith]

Be interesting to see how we respond now? A goal was definitely coming.

[marky No.1]

So much space

[AndyReifman]

Be interesting to see how we respond now? A goal was definitely coming.

We've looked decent going forward, just tough to get those chances.

[BerlinWaller]

Cole Stockton is having a great game. We need to win more free kicks in their half.

[redrobo]

2-0 down for me we've just got to go for it and see what happens.

Slew has done nothing so let's see what the new lad can do...

Not down but 1-0 would have been better

Rapidshrimp, 2-0 at half time. If I were a director at Chelsea I would still be doubtful if they don't score a hat full in the second half. We have come back from 2 down before.
