have a lay in.

0-0 with 98% possession

Sunday 12 o’clock kick-off are the absolute f**king worst aren’t they!

start with

                       Mendy

James        Silva       Zouma      Chilwell

                       Kante

     Pulisic       Mount     Hudson-Odi   

                  Werner   

                       Abraham           

 

finish with 

                       Mendy

James        Silva       Zouma      Chilwell

                       Mount

      Ziyech        Havertz       Hudson-Odi   

                   Werner   

                       Giroud          

Burnley are better in every department compared to Wolves imo. 

                    Mendy

        Azpilicueta T.Silva Rudiger

James     Jorginho Kovacic      CHO

            Havertz          Mount

                     Abraham

OR

                Mendy

James T.Silva Rudiger Chilwell

                 Kante

Ziyech  Havertz Mount Pulisic 

                Abraham

First win for Tuchel incoming?

If we remain with the same system then you have to ask who did what was asked of him enough to keep his place for this game, if you are being fair.

 

Mendy N/A

 

Azpi Yes

Silva Yes

Rudiger Yes

 

CHO Yes

Jorginho Yes

Kovacic Yes

Chilwell NO

 

Zyiech NO

Havertz NO

 

Giroud NO

 

So 4 dropped for me based on their displays.

 

James in for Chilwell, CHO to LWB

Mount in for Zyiech

Werner in for Havertz

Abraham in for Giroud

F me 4am KO again, I don’t have a DVR as I stream all content now, going to have a serious decision to make enjoy my Sunday morning lie in, or arise in the middle of the night and chance more of the same possession based boredom. There’s 3 days of preparation so let’s see what Tickle can do with more than a few hours in the freezing cold dark at Cobham. Burnley are on a roll and Dyschee will be licking his northern chops at getting to grips with a Chelsea team going through yet one more transition into the latest managers tactics, formations etc. 

I wonder if we will see much change in the way we play against Burnley, compared to last night v Wolves.

Not a criticism, just genuinely wondering.

They are playing well at the moment and scoring goals which is unusual...this might be a tough test for our Tommy. 

Need to stop this passing other teams to death bullsh*t and start being a bit more direct...unless the plan is to send them to sleep ZZZzzzzzzz

PS. Please drop Dave, sadly he's getting worse every time I see him.  Time for old guard to move over to the bench full time..now.

Ziyech and CHO had something going on on the right side. If Chilwell and Havertz had that we would have probably scored in the game. Those guys really didn't connect. Well, once actually and Chilly blasted it over. 

As we know Tuchel is not afraid of playing the opponent we will see many different formations and combinations this season. He usually plays the tactic that fits to hurt the opponent most. It is completely different to Frank's stubborness to just grind with 4-3-3.

It’s a must win game if top 4 is going to be achieved. I think the negativity towards Tuchel will go into overdrive should we drop points here. 

I’d like to see the wingbacks continued with for this one so I’d pick something like this. Assuming Kante is out injured and Gilmour is going on loan.

                     Mendy 

         Zouma   Silva   Rudiger 

   James Kovacic Jorginho CHO 

              Mount  Werner 

                    Abraham 

 

I think a lot of play broke down/slowed down with Chillwell,Ziyech and Giroud last night so they drop out.
 

Azpi didn’t do much wrong but seeing as we are struggling for goals I think we need to maximise our advantages from our own set plays and all 3 CB’s will offer that threat, as well as offering more physicality against a physical Burnley side.

Finally, I thought Werner and Abraham linked up well vs Luton so I think it’s worth partnering them again.

Tuchel just told no one needs to leave. That is not entirely up to him but anyway... He referred that to talking about Billy. 

After watching the interview with Tuchel this morning, I can saw with 100% accuracy, I have no idea who he will start in this game? An hour before the game it will be like unwrapping a Christmas present.

We will see changes, and most likely Mount back into the first eleven. I don’t think that he will play a back three but, independently of what formation, our midfielders will have to be more creative than what they’ve been all season if we are to beat this Burnley on a winning run. If anything, maybe the fact that they are winning plays in our favour as they’ll come with more confidence and not to park the double decker.

Yea pretty sure Mount will start. Wonder if Kante is ready...

I quite enjoyed it that time last week, mind you I would moan like f**k if we could go, as not enough time for decent pre  match beer!!!

Stay up all Saturday night and have an all nighter? If your pissed up, our play may look like the Brazil 1982 side!

I wouldn’t hold my breath that will be the team without at least one of the Havertz or Werner in there.

I think Havertz will fight on the same spot as Mount and the englishman will get his chance next  game. I don't see Mount playing inline with Kante in Tuchel's system. I think Werner will replace Abraham in the 60-70 minute.

Tuchel said he doesn't see too many flaws in our team which is quite concerning so I don't know if much will change, especially in a few days.
