Chelsea (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Three at the back?

Has to be.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

What formation is this haha

5-3-2 Mendy and Cancelo as wing backs

 

[worsleyweb]

Fucking hell!

 

[SWPISHOME]

KDB not even on the bench?

He has his hamstring strapped up after PSG.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Who doesn’t love a 3-4-3!

 

[applecentral]

I’m shocked at that team. Gobsmacked!

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

Have to confess, little bit shocked at that.

 

[Turner92]

Why not go full strength keep Chelsea having to fight for top 4?

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Looks like Pep is keeping his powder dry, to keep Chelsea guessing for the CL Final

 

[Cornish_Blue]

Talk about gifting them 3 points.

 

[Cons Dad]

De bruyne not even on bench hope it’s not an injury..

according to the OS hes not fully fit

 

[mccity]

defensively he is a huge part of most of the problems we have had when he is on the pitch...the fact that Delp ( a midfielder, Zinchenko, and attacking midfielder and Cancello, a right back all have started ahead of him ove rthe last few years should tell you everything.....
the lad maybe a nic guy but he is a defensive liability hence why teams target him

Oh right he's so bad our dumb manager is using him now then.

 

[kaz7]

Deflated doesnt come close

 

[oldius]

Pep gone full idiot mode today! :-( that team will get twatted!

I have noted this in preparation for the post match thread.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Three at the back?

Has to be.

Maybe a 442 cos Rodri the only mid

 

[Fordyboy46]

Hmmmm, not sure we needed that many changes today. Let's wait and see though

 

[super_city_si]

Pretty attacking ill give him that. Theres going to be a huge gap between our front 5 and back 5. Rodri got his work cut out today

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

odd team selection that but come on blues!!!

 

[117 M34]

No idea how that is supposed to work with 2 wing backs and 2 wingers.
Will be interesting whatever happens.

 

[simon23]

Is that Ake in DM?

Or him at left back and Mendy higher up the pitch?

There is very little creativity in that team at all
