Chelsea (A) - Thu 5th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

6 points out of Chelsea and United and the asses will fall out of our current competition

Think this is our chance to smell a bit of blood

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Foden is a must, but equally important i feel is to go back to having full backs. Rico or Walker is fine but Ake offers fuck all at left back. Cancelo back in please.

I’d argue Walker is a must given in 3 of the 5 games we’ve dropped points he’s been absent, Cancelo & Foden too, we need to get our left side functioning again

 

[waspish]

With arsenal dropping points it same team as the Everton game control the game keep it tight and get the ball to Haaland

 

[Blue and true]

Play Alvarez and Haaland.
Or Haaland and Alvarez.

Tend to agree. But if necessary, Erling and Julian will do.

Fucking well up for this now, wish we were playing now

Whhaaaa? That's a Clarkie right?
3 changes minimum, and when did we suddenly become a one man team.
Hey ho

 

[Goater=Legend]

Walker, Cancelo, Foden and Laporte back in please Pep.

 

[pudge]

If we don't turn up Thursday, the league will be nigh on impossible solely in my humble opinion.

we're not even half way through lol, plenty of twists yet

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

we're not even half way through lol, plenty of twists yet

Tonight showed how bad those dropped points v Everton were. Shockingly bad.

 

[Shaffer92]

Ederson

Walker Stones Akanji Ake

Rodri Phillips

Foden Alvarez Haaland Grealish

I'd like to see Rodri and Phillips in a double pivot eventually as well.

4-2-3-1

 

[John Wayne]

Walker, Cancelo, Foden and Laporte back in please Pep.

Isn't Laporte injured?

 

[PragueBlue]

Ederson

Walker Stones Ake Cancelo

KDB Rodri Bernardo

Foden Haaland Grealish

Laporte in for Ake if fit. Preferably with more of a traditional back 4, rather than inverted FBs.

 

[JewelZee]

Rumour is Potter has been given the next two games v us to save his job. If (big if ) true he's gonna have to go for it

Well then we're in big trouble. Gerrard and Lampard were both supposedly in trouble entering into our match and we didn't kill off either. Slippery G eventually bit the bullet anyway, but survived us. Will Potter be the 3rd English manager this season to survive the axe vs. us? How about some killer instinct and we kick the fuck out of them when they're down? That would work well...

 

[JewelZee]

I agree

Nope...

 

[BringBackSwales]

Tonight showed how bad those dropped points v Everton were. Shockingly bad.

We can’t influence history but we sure as fuck can influence the present and the future

 

[SamBlue]

Foden - Alvarez - Bernardo
Gundogan - Rodri - KdB
Cancelo - Ake - Stones - Walker
Ederson

 

[halfcenturyup]

Play Alvarez and Haaland.
Or Haaland and Alvarez.

Agreed. Flexibility is the key.

 

[Vester]

Would like to see:
Ederson
Walker-Stones-Ake-Cancelo
KDB-Rodri-Bernardo
Alvarez-Haaland-Foden

 

[city saint]
