[Chi-town blues]

So why does he think Kev and Gundo will work today as opposed to every other time its looked like shite?

Class is permanent

Strange leaving ake out been our most consistent player.

Rested for Saka

Because it didnt

Disaster in the first half against Chelsea, I believe it was, so I wouldn't be surprised it'll happen again

Hopefully we have learned how to play it!

That’s arguably our three biggest hitters at the back (with Stones missing) and we should be dominating possession today.

Big atmosphere and I think the boys respond to what’s been going on this week.

Strange leaving ake out been our most consistent player.

He has been great, but he also doesn’t have the forward passing ability of Laporte or Dias.

We look to be ‘going for it’ today! So no ponderous passing from Akanji or Aké.

1930's 3-2-5 throwback formation

Looks like it might be an
W
M
Formation?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

So basically the system we're playing is...





No, not a bloody clue.

Exactly the same as normal, but our right back doesn’t go into midfield, our centre back does (Rodri).

 

[dhruvblue]

Well new experiment again. Will see how this works out

Rested for Saka

We have to win this first but good point
