RIP Mourinho

Bulka would be the only one i'd drop him for in a game like this. Green and Caballero are pretty pointless. Even still, i expect Kepa to play this one.

Why do you want Kepa there? Why not? He's our keeper that we paid £70m for. Not like keepers get fatigued. Play him in every game imo.

Agreed. Good to see Sarri showing faith in him in such a massive game with the scoreline at 1-0. Viva la Ruben.

Probably the most improved player in the last 5 or so games.

Kante was a real problem for us again today. Other than being fantastic after the goal.

I wish he'd started one of the previous two matches, i feel like he he starts against City he'll inevitably get torn about by Sterling/Sane/Mahrez and not be seen for another few months.

He does say for HIS set pieces though. Imo that means his free kicks.

Even so, would still give the chance to someone who can defend 1v1. Dave doesn't have an issue aerially, don't really see why Emerson would be much different.

A couple of decent free kicks ain't really a good enough reason for not trying Emerson imo.

Sarri said Alonso isn't playing badly because he is tired, but for another reason. He says he was poor vs Fulham and after the goal against Wolves. Emerson is a "good option" for him. He adds he likes Alonso for his set-pieces. #CFC #MCFC

That's all you needed to say. Took you long enough to realise.

You've somehow managed to completely miss the mark again. Kante never has and never will be a player who has played further back. With Leicester DD played the deeper of the two and with Chelsea Matic played the deeper of the two. Stick him in any other attacking team and see if he manages to pick up incredible defensive numbers like previous years. Think people need to stop getting a hard on over Kante making 20 tackles a match and realise that striving for attacking football is much more exciting.

I told you that in confidence and you said you wouldn't tell anyone!
