More of the same please. Alot tougher task but with a bit of confidence tammy, mount and gilmour(if he starts) can boss this game

                      Mendy

 James     Zouma   Silva      Chilwell

Ziyech     Mount   Gilmour      CHO

              Tammy    Werner

 

So Frank has some decisions to make here.

We can expect the obvious return of Mendy, Silva, Chilwell and probably Rudiger. 

Am guessing Kante is out, is a midfield of Gilmour and Mount physically strong enough?

Can you drop Tammy after he scores a hat trick?

Is James going to start 4 games in a week and a half?

Will Timo keep the role partnered with another forward?

What system is used?

Honestly I don't know what would work best. I have a hunch we change the whole back 4 for this game:

 

Mendy

 

Azpi

Silva

Rudiger

Chilwell

 

After that if it is a 4-4-2 I think we are too exposed if we start Ziyech and Pulisic out wide. We could play James on the right and CHO on the left, i would expect him to offer more defensively that the other 2.

 

James

Gilmour

Mount

CHO

 

Werner

Abraham

 

Or if 4-2-3-1 could he ask James to be the muscle as he was for Wigan?

 

James

Gilmour

 

Mount

Werner

CHO

 

Abraham

 

I guess as it is the same personal you can switch it easy enough. Lose James crosses but gain a midfield tank...hmm...

I’d take any win for us v Wolves at the moment.

Come on Chelsea !

"They looked good in training"  said the new gaffer.....

 

                                  Kepa

Azpilicueta     Rudiger     Christensen    Emerson

                 Jorginho  Kovacic  Kante

Ziyech                                                     Pulisic 

                                 Werner

 

Who will Doris the tea lady pick for this one then?

Arrizabalaga

Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Silva, Chilwell

Jorginho, Kovacic, Havertz

Ziyech, Werner, Pulisic

Personal opinion Pulisic shouldn't start, let's play CHO on his actual wing for once. Pulisic atm seems to over complicate everything. Kept trying to beat the Luton right back and was tackled far too many times.

I agree. Pulisic has been poor recently, and CHO deserves to start over him.

I would still like to know who’s in charge for this match that’s now just over 48 hours away. Petr? Flo? Mason Mount?

I was wondering the same. Even if the new manager is confirmed before the game it is unlikely that they will have to time to prepare for this game with the squad. Is there somebody tasked with caretaker responsibilities?

Good question. Seriously!

I got it in early this year. 

Hmm one way or another I expect Tuchel will be picking the team so either a standard back 4 or a possible but unlikely back 3

 

Kepa

 

Azpi

Silva

Rudiger

Alonso

 

Jorginho 

Kovacic

Havertz

 

Pulisic

Giroud

Werner

 

Or

 

Kepa

 

Christensen

Silva

Rudiger

 

Azpi

Kovacic

Jorginho 

Alonso 

 

Havertz

Giroud

Werner

What makes you think he's going to recall Alonso? Chilwell has been pretty good so far.

Also no chance he picks Kepa, he's awful.

Not a simple situation to deal with. We currently are fighting for every point and meeting Wolves isn't a good option. The experience must come here, players especially our academy players must give everything to make a proper farewell to Frank Lampard. This game has to be for him only, success or not, he's our f**king legend.

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

James --- Zouma -- Thiago Silva -- Chilwell

------- Kovacic ----- Mount --------

Ziyech ----------------------------- Hudson Odoi

--------------- Werner ----------------

-------------- Abraham -------------

 

Play 4-4-1-1, interesting who will be on the line.

You're dead right, it's Florent Malouda.
