axman2526 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Green (probably his only game ever for us) Zappa Cahill Christensen Emerson Ampadu Kovacic RLC Moses Morata CHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STATS Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 ^^ Caballero is the second choice keeper so he will definitely start.^^ Kovacic will be rested to, most likely for Fabregas or Barkley. But yeah I will be absolutely fuming if I do not see CHO starting from the off. He will tear Clyne apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrickblue Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 i think we can be certain that the line-ups and pattern of this game will have no bearing whatsoever on Saturday's game hoping we can stuff them anyway - i despise Liverpool, can't bring myself to like them at all come on Chelsea erskblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are right about CHO, I've only seen him once against top opposition and he never went on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukraine Bolt Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 With this being the cup game i'd rather see us go full strength in the league a few days after. So for this: Kepa Zappacosta Christensen D.Luiz Alonso Jorginho Kante Barkley CHO Morata Hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adheel123 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 This is the game where a majority of the 1st team should rest, it was really showing in the west ham game, Sarri really needs to rotate. Really wanna see Ampadu, RLC in the first 11 this Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spadefx Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Personally don't think tiredness was the factor at the weekend, we were slow in the final third and our only real goal threat in Pedro's absence, Hazard, seemed determined not to take a shot on himself. I don't know what our best solution is up top. There maybe is an opportunity for Hudson Odoi here if Pedro's unavailable, but I think there's probably a good few midfielders ahead of him in the pecking order, I suspect Moses will come in if two of the regular three wingers are left out. I'd quite like to see Barkley in Kante's role, with Loftus Cheek in Kovacic's. Maybe a pipe dream, but for me there's a bit more attacking threat there, even if we lose that defensive tenacity. Minutes for Christensen is a must for me too. I'd imagine Cesc and Zappacosta will play also, although for both its surely a case of match fitness for injury cover, I can't see either fitting in our strongest XI. No idea how much Liverpool will rotate but I can't see us making as many changes as we did in Europe. Every cup competion's important, and continuity in the new system just as much. Looking forward to it, hope we can react to the weekend's disappointment with a big win here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclovin83 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Real shame that RLC is injured for this one, as I think this may have been the game he was handed a start. We really need every advantage we can get for the league game on Saturday, and combined with the fact we looked slightly lethargic on Sunday after playing mid-week, I would use the squad and play the following: Kepa Zappacosta Cahill Christensen Emerson Fabregas Kante Barkley Moses Mortata CHO A team that is set up to play "Sariball" with Fabregas in the Jorginho role, but with only Kante & Kepa who will play the full 90 on Saturday (I would imagine). Kante is a machine and capable of playing two games in a week, and I think we could really use the steel in midfield for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecoolguy22 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Both sides will play the fringe team, could be a 5:4 game. I like to play a strong team first up, go out early and we will just write it off , if we go through we will carry the confidence of beating one of the better teams. mez and yorkleyblue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrickblue Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Obviously defeat wouldn't be the end of the world but if we don't have a decent run in this and/or the FA cup we lose the chance to bring on some fringe players. Still hoping we thrash them 6-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhidza Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 We would all welcome some changes but still have a balanced team to get us a result. I would like to have the following line up Kepa Azpi Christensen Cahill Emerson Ngolo Ampadu Barkley or Cesc Willian Morata Odoi Think this side will be good enough to trouble the liverpool side which will also have changes. Its a shame RLC is not fit for this match otherwise would have wanted him on as well. SUBS: Hazard Kovacic Moses Alonso Giruod Cesc/Brakley Caballero Looking forward to a very entertaining match and hopefully a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Fingers crossed, tonight Hudson Odoi will break onto the scene, this could be his big chance. Just as we dropped our first points, neither striker looking much to talk about, the attack looking a bit stale. CHO couldn't pick a better moment to impress.
