Newcastle match is 13:30 Sunday mate

Fair enough then. About damn time we was on Sunday after playing Wednesday.

I would really like to see 4-3-3 for this game:

Tibo

Azpi - Luiz - Chris - Rudiger

Moses - Kante - Alonso

Pedro - Morata - Hazard

yes, yes, i know - never try something new in a such an important game! I know/assume Conte will stick with 3-5-2! But simply would like this formation to have a cameo at some point (with one or two subs from the 3-5-2 it can be done!! ) Having Luiz pushingup the pitch picking out the front three, cant hurt either!

As we all know we have become FAR too predictable!! Lets give the opponents something NEW to deal with.

KTBFFH!!

Alonso in midfield is fine because he generally plays like a midfielder anyway but Moses doesn't really play like a midfielder. He's a typical winger imo

As amazing as it would be, I would rather Bristol not making it to the final tbh. 3 reasons.

1. If Arsenal defeat us then they have another easy game at Wembley. (2 out of 3 of their recent FA Cups were against Hull and Villa.)

2. If we make it through, and lose the final. We wouldn't hear the end of it.

3. A cup final win over City would be much more glorious than over Bristol.

I don't think Pep would risk it tbh. He tried that the other day and he scraped through it by City's standards.

Luiz in a back 4, Rudiger at LB and two wingers at CM.

 

Jesus wept.

tbo

Azpi  Andreas  Rudi

Moses  Kante  Baka  Zappa

Willian  Morata/Bats  Eden

Zappa at LWB for his pace against Bellenderin (I'm becoming everything i hate). 343 as it allows us to actually attack. Kante Baka seems like a decent 2 man midfield thus far. Could see Cahill back in at LCB but would be harsh to drop Rudi.

So Conte just confirmed no morata or Cesc tommorow

Yeah makes me wonder what the team will be

Courtois?

Dave Christensen Rudiger

moses baka kante Alonso 

willian bats hazard 

Wonder if Barkley will get any game time 

Gaffer's Pre-match Press Conference

 

Play the same team that beat Brighton. Bar tibo back in goal.

Anyone in favor of sitting Baka and letting luiz take over his midfield role

Nope. would rather Luiz came on later to park the bus. Baka has looked really solid in a midfield 2 next to Kante. The problem is him in a 352 with the license to bomb foward. Thats not his forte and that wasnt what he did last year with Monaco. He is better keeping it simple on offense and his energy and tenacity on defense is only bettered by Kante in the squad

Asa you know very welll weee have tooo pay... great... attention. I amm verrry positive, verrry positive.

                        Courtois
                Azpi - Luiz - Rudiger
Zappacosta - Kante - Bakayoko - Alonso
                Willian - Musonda
                       Hazard
                   

How could anyone want to choose Frank Zappa over Moses at this point there’s a hatred for victor that I can’t understand

Moses has been in poor form for something like 3 games now, Zappa on the other hand is picking up on form so it makes sense.

But Moses hasn't been so poor that he's detrimental to the team though.

Give Batshuayi another game. I don't want to see Hazard play up top, it restricts him and makes him less dangerous. 

Kenedy away to Newcastle on loan .....
