That decision not to award a penalty to us the last game still really gnaws at me.

Surely we’ll get justice tomorrow. Think we’ll win 3-1.

How about:

 

Mendy

 

Zouma

Christensen

Rudiger

 

James

Kante

Jorginho

Alonso

 

Kovacic (job to man mark bruno)

Mount

 

Giroud

 

Zouma, Rudiger, James, Alonso, Giroud. Lot for Mount to aim at there.

Stick to the back 3, change it to a back 4 with T.Silva in the starting lineup against Liverpool - This is the way to go.

VS Atletico play Kante instead of Jorginho and Pulisic instead of Mount - alternatives if it doesn't work out we will be trailing so put in Havertz instead of Kante and play Kovacic deeper.

We can win vs Man United and Atletico, vs Liverpool we need a whole lot to go our way though, specially if Tuchel doesn't change the formation.

The weird part was our perfomance against big team last season was good excpet against  united

Nah we had good performances but we rarely won. FA Cup final against Arsenal comes to mind also.

It will be interesting to see how Tommy T sets us up against Utd, he already knows what they can do from last season and he knows about new boy Cavani.

I think Zouma instead of Azpi re pace would be a good move.

I would keep CHO instead of James at least to start. James's concentration and his liability to give away free-kicks near our box concerns me.

I would also keep Werner as his workrate against Utd's backs could reap benefits.

I don't think Tommy T will man mark Fernandes and I agree he is their danger man. 

Also prefer Alonso as more two-footed than Chilwell though would need cover defensively when playing more forward.

We need a plan defensively for Utd breaking on our attacking corners not Jorgy on the halfway line. 

I think a draw tomorrow, expect Utd will get lucky against the run of play. 

 

Get Kante to Marshall Fernandes, Werner to play through the middle, or in two with Giroud on the shoulder of Maguire or Lindelof, Cho v Shaw will be intriguing, Christensen  over zoom, play 3-5-2....

Shaw will probably blatantly kick CHO, I saw him do it re the Saints and was shocked nothing was given.

Doubt if he'll change a winning team....Zouma for me of late plays far too many sideways / back passes...guaranteed we will get pressed to death tomorrow so I'd rather see Mendy and the rest of the defence keep hitting the long balls over the top of the press and by- pass the midfield rather than pissing around trying to play out from the back. 

I’ve grown to hate these c**ts literally more than anyone I want a utd scalp how have we been done so many times by these sausages in recent times, we need to lay down a statement here we should be fighting for 2nd not 4th.

We did very well in general, lost pool twice but was in the game both times.won 1 lost 1 against city.

That FA cup final was all about us not having willian and kante, two key player that we have no replacement. No kante mean no midfied protection aka bellerin running free at our defender. No Willian mean we keep losing the ball up high.

Match day.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

Match Day !

Play Up Chelsea !!?
 

3-5-2

Mandy

Azpi              Christensen           Rudi

CHO        Kante           Kov         Chilli

Mount

Giroud        Werner

                                                                      

United have poor results vs top 6 - think they’ve only scored once in the Prem against them. Ole obviously plays it safe, especially away from home. They will look to sit back and counter. 
 

Normally the key to stopping united is stopping Bruno so let’s man mark him. 

Just beat them Chelsea!

Please !!

Haven't scored 3 goals in league game since end of December but like the optimism 

Edited February 28, 20215 yr by Ray_Cfc

We are more than capable of scoring, we just need to click more in the final third and inject more creativity in the team. I would play Mount, Kovacic and Havertz as the three in midfield.

Edited February 28, 20215 yr by Malcolm9

Please Chelsea, just smash them. I’m sick to death of not beating them, we are well due.

I’ll be really pissed off if we fail to beat them. Nothing to do with Tuchel, I just really want to beat them.

I had a dream last night Werner scored twice.

We did end up losing 3-2 tho

i'd go

werner

havertz

mount

 

Chiwell

Kovacic

Kanté

James

 

Rudiger

Christensen

Azpi

 

Mendy

                     Mendy

  Azpilicueta Christensen Rudiger

CHO     Jorginho Kovacic    Chilwell

             Havertz    Mount

                   Werner

Probably our strongest lineup right now.

I'm predicting a 3:2 win, you just slept on the wrong side of the bed or something!

I don't make predictions, but we are more than capable of winning this. 

come on you BLUES !

Will this be another start for Jorginho and our 20th undefeated game with him from the start?
