Chelsea (A) - Sun 18th Aug, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I’d say our squad depth isn’t as shabby as being made out by some judging from that line up and bench..

Yup. And that bench is without Rodri and Bobb

 

[ancoats]

Let's Go...

 

[BlueNirvana]

No Carson, Pep out

 

[SebastianBlue]

That bench would top the Championship (even two men down).

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Cancelo isn't in bench.

It's over for him

Good

 

[pudge]

Pretty much Chelsea's best team for them

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

No Sterling in their squad.

Pretty much as expected. Only minor surprise for me is savinho comes straight in, thought he'd be held back a bit to get used to the team and he'd throw Foden straight in.

Interested to see how the two wingers work, hopefully we give them plenty of the ball quickly and let them go down the outside to supply Haaland. Also excited about those 2 in particular starting as they can both play either side. think it would be a real asset to have them switching wings mid game to change our attack.

 

[lancs blue]

Like that team, Pep adapting his tactics to give the opposition different problems.

Apparently Walker is going to be start and wearing captain sleeves.

Seems our players still think that Walker deserve to be club captain this season.
