It was about money, and how much would be lost. Hence the PL restarted and the womens league did not.

However IF the league had been abandoned and no title been award like with Ajax how do you think that would of played out? Liverpool's fans would have started a civil war.

Ofcourse it's about money, from football to McDonald's right down to Steve from Preston's mini local mechanics garage, any business is about money.

Aye but the others dont frame it as "Sporting Integrity" one minute and then punt Orient out and give Spurs a bye the next.

Anyway on this game hopefully minutes to some players who deserve a chance imo.

 

Willy

 

Azpi

Rudiger 

Tomori

Emerson 

 

James

Jorginho

 

Zyiech 

Havertz

CHO

 

Giroud

The one thing I expect is to see regulion starting for spuds. Spuds were unlucky against Newcastle and are a pretty good side this season. Still given Kane’s injury history I wouldn’t play him every game. Ndombele will likely start for them as well. 
 

‘I’d play chlwell if fit and Dave on the right. I don’t understand why Zouma, our best defender didn’t start against wba but he’d be in my team. I’d play Jorginho with kova and rest Werner. Cho starts on the left with either Tammy or Giroud  and maybe mount on the right

Son is out for several weeks.

No matter what competition it is, we must beat Spurs!

There was some fantastic goal keeping on the weekend. The Newcastle keeper was outstanding makes me real use what we’ve been missing. 

Blimey, these games are coming in thick and fast now. Obviously, we need to put out a strong team for this one, the thing is, I don’t even know what that strong team is these days.

                       Mendy

         Azpi - Christensen - Tomori

  James- Jorginho- Kovacic- Chilwell

         CHO- Giroud- Werner

No Pulisic or Ziyech for selection. I missed a bit of Frank's presser so don't know who else is sidelined. 

No need to play a full strength team...FL needs to find a starting 11 and get those players working together...

Mendy 

Dave Zouma Silva Chilwell

Kante Kovavic 

Havertz

CHO Abrahams Werner

Mount for Werner for me even though I am not a fan of him on the wings. We either play Werner as the 9 or don’t bother. 
 

Let’s see if Havertz & Tammy can build on their budding partnership, and with Pulisic & Ziyech still a way off CHO needs all the game time he can get.

Quite sad actually... fantastic player.

Our players need to be careful, injuries are a real worry now without the preseason.

admit it or not we miss Willian in these days, badly

I think that was going to be the case, a lot of people only saw his bad points.

Do we? Reece James seems to have the sh*te corners nailed down 

Edited September 28, 20205 yr by Munkworth

Mendy and Chilwell confirmed in the squad for tomorrow, hopefully they get a start.

Even though Willy has done nothing wrong this last week, it would be great if Mendy could play to have a performance under his belt for Palace on Saturday. This is how we should line up:

 

--------------------Tammy--------------------

Mount-------------Havertz--------------CHO

------------Barkley---------Kovacic-----------

Chilwell------Zouma-------Silva----------Azpi

---------------------Mendy-------------------

We do not miss Willian at all, CHO showed against WBA a lot more attacking intent and he scored as well.

Mendy to start, give all the new boys a decent run as well.

The cynical side of me thinks there wouldn't have been such a clamour for the restart if it was 2016 and Leicester were in pole position.

I would play a near enough strong 11, we need to start getting players to gel and up to full fitness.

Havertz in a free-role going wherever he thinks is right. 

There is just no way we can play a back four without a competent holding midfielder.

How do we miss Willian. Could you imagine the defensive work and giveaways he would have made on Saturday?
