Assuming all players, save Rodri and Kovacic, are fit, one wonders who doesn’t make the bench today: Ake, Bobb, Lewis, or someone else?

Their midfield has been struggling, as has Gordon. The German isn't the kind of striker that can get in behind which is what usually hurts us.

It sounds painful.:)

Bobb & Lewis or Khusanov, probably the former.

Need a lift after that dire cricket this morning. Please no crazy teams Pep. Resist that urge to play Stones I know is eating away at you. Dias and Josko at the back. Nico in the middle. Phil, Cherki and Doku behind Erling. Thanks boss.

That means Jonny will definitely start. And then probably be crocked. Again. Save him for Wednesday and Europe, wrap him in a cuddly blanket and let @EcclesBlue mother him :-).

A quote from Pep to put the fear of god into the rest. Asked about our progress, he said:
“I just have to make a few adjustments.”
He won’t have been able to do much for this match but afterwards he’ll be working on them.

Pep's 'tweeks' normally put the fear of god into half our support

Burn is out, banned. That rat Gordon will probably make an appearance.

I have just had a phone call from my friend who is a coach at Chelsea. He's only got me in today. I will be in Nick Popes box.
