Chalobah starts again.

Ahead of Zouma too. 

Can't see much of a future for Kurt at Chelsea under Tuchel. 

Havertz drops to the bench probably because he played 120 minutes in midweek. 

Mount straight back into the starting XI despite almost no pre season. He's just that important to our team. 

Edit: Presumably Kante is injured?

And once again we have 2 left backs on the bench with no midfielders. I guess Loftus cheek is going on loan again

James can slot in to midfield. Chalobah can move forward in to midfield. Mount can drop back. 
 

Most surprising for me is Tammy on the bench!

Just noticed the game is on premier sports,that's £15 month ontop of sky sports and bt sport,bloody ridiculous. 

Goodness, how many subscriptions do Brits need to see the televised games :ohmy:

    If Tuchel is losing faith in Callum as a wingback or doesn't think he's ready then we need to get a new wingback in before the deadline or look at reverting back to a 4.

    Azpi and James just don't cut it there outside of backs against the wall situations.

    Premier Sports is Irish isn’t it?

    Hopefully some of those that whine about the manager never trust youth notice as well.

    Maybe Tuchel's way to say sorry to Tammy because of his treatment last season.

    Thomas Tuchel was saying this week that maybe he was wrong by not supporting Abraham like he did with other players in the squad.

    Ah the old days where he was going to terrorise and destroy all our youth because he could.

    Good times!

    With Chalobah starting once again it might be a better idea to go for a midfielder instead of Koundé. No midfield cover with all the players we have on our books is ridiculous.
