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

Lewis deserves to start, Bernie is wasted out wide, that midfield is too slow, Alvarez deserves to start, Cancelo is shit. Have I missed anything;-)

Yeah, we should go back to a false 9, everything now is all about getting the ball to Haaland ffs :)

 

[Agueroooo9320]

You have got the answer. Alvarez needs the same spot vs KDB. It won't happen right now.

ya but why the fuck do we need 4 midfielders? can drop one of bernardo or gundo them and move KDB to that spot and put alvarez in the team. why the fuck is pep obsessed with control like we are going against a prime barca team. he should be able to trust 3 midfielders to control a game against this chelsea side.

 

[HelloCity]

Pep on the post match thread last game.

I think we need to stick with this back four for the next few games.

Steling can't hit a donkey's arse with a banjo ;)

Oh fuck!

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

0-1 will do. 3 points

 

[PragueBlue]

Decent line up. Would have preferred Grealish for Gundogan with Foden one side of Haaland and Grealish the other with Rodri, KDB and Bernardo in a 4-3-3 but apart from that pretty pleased.

When you think you have read it all, up pops another gem

Wait till the matchday thread starts….

Kinell, we’ve played 15 games in his first season with a new team on a new continent, he’s just back from the World Cup and you’ve already got him leaving due to lack of game time. This place…

Ive just had this convo with my dad . “He’ll be asking for a move if he doesnt get a game soon”

Oh fuck off

Consistent back four would be good……

 

[phargrave]

Oh fuck!

Kiss of death forthcoming

 

[theres only one carlito]

Foden must get at Azpilicueta!

Agree with this. Chopping and changing at the back isn't helping.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Will Walker be back to RB or another midfielder?

Looking forward to watching it all go through him in the middle if the latter…

I think because Cancelo is the left back, that means Walker tucks in to a back 3 in possession, with Ake moving over to the left, freeing up Cancelo to either go high and wide to let Foden drift central, or Cancelo inverts.

Steling ?

First half hat trick incoming…

Walker is best choice against Sterling, the lad is still fast.

So relieved to see Walker, Cancelo and Foden back.
