Ah we have set up to play for the 0-0 then and hope Ziyech decides he feels like putting him shift in.

Ziyech always puts a shift in if you look at pressing stats without the ball. he doesnt run with the ball though and will need others to make off the ball runs into space instead of showing for the ball to feet. Thats the main reason why he and Werner are a good combination

 Azpil      Jorginho     Kovacic     Chilwell

 

            Ziyech               Havertz

                          Lukaku

 

Based off the injury news I'm pretty confident we see something like this, I'd expect Timo, Alonso and Trevor to all come in at the weekend and potentially Ruben who I think will come on as a sub during this game.

I think Juve will sit back and TT will want height and creativity from Kai. Creativity from Ziyech and the ability to overload mifield with the dual 10s. Timo won't get any lot of space in this game that's the only reason why I have him benched. Lukaku to deal with the big cbs. Andreas and Thiago for their experience alongside Azpil and Rudi, finally Ben as a more athletic presence down the left and Alonso needs a break.

 

More or less called this sadly for Chilly B I had a feeling Marcos may start over him even though I think Ben should get some game time. Fingers crossed he plays at the weekend.

Alonso will be a key figure while we still play a back 3/5 because he's the only natural wingback we have. 

Missing out on Hakimi or even failing to convince Livramento to stay was a killer.

    Again Havertz is being used as a filler. All know he is a huge talent so he should deal with anything... Tuchel starting to treat Kai like Lampard did, instead of building the team around him he's using him in any way just to accommodate e.g. Ziyech on the right side. 

    Yup. Kai seems to being mistaken as a Joe Cole player when he is a Kaka type. Is a waste.

    It's intriguing that Tuchel had no interest in Moses who I believe was still under contract with us when he took over I may be wrong. I'm not saying he's top class but, he could have done a job for us potentially at wb.

    I think this is actually a tactic I could be wrong but, Ziyech as we know is very one footed. Kai on the other hand is much better with his right and can finish well. Not to mention the 10 position is fluid they will both drop deep in pockets, break into the box and play all over left and right. I wouldn't be too worried about starting position it just means when Kai drifts right the opposition may struggle to deal with him.

    Disappointed to see Loftus Cheek not starting. I thought after City, he deserved a start to keep the momentum going.

    In the CL? We know that's not gonna happen unless it's against Malmö

    Players not available will greatly weaken the team.I would play Werner all day over Ziyech or Havertz but that's just a personal thing.Chilwell for Alonso as well for me - where is the supply for Lulu coming from?

    Anyway,if the football is half as good as what was produced by PSG and city last night I will be pleasantly surprised.

    I think Werner can consider himself unlucky not to start tonight especially given the lack of form shown by Havertz and Ziyech so far this season. 

    Not a single Englishman in the line up? Boooooo! 

    Remembered when that first happened decades ago? Boy did we get slammed for it.

    How long ago has it been since a tea with full domestic players won the CL? Mid 80's?
