December 2, 20213 yr Assuming we recover Jorgi as he was OK enough for the bench and have lost Trev and no one else then..the line up still does not look great  Mendy  Christensen Silva Rudiger  Dave Jorginho RLC Alonso  Mount Havertz Pulisic  Looks a lot better if we at least get Kante and James back for Dave and RLC.
December 2, 20213 yr Mendy Christensen Silva Rudigier  James Jorginho RLC CHO  Mount Pulisic Havertz/Lukaku
December 2, 20213 yr Mount, Ziyech and Lukaku should be the front three against West Ham. We need to get Lukaku in the squad and playing as he is our main striker. Can we use CHO instead of Alonso please, he's just good enough under pressure.
December 2, 20213 yr F* me, lunch time game, we are doomed 🤑 Seriously, I'd be more concerned if this is a home game, they could just sit back and bide their time. At home, they have to have a go, especially they believe they belong to the top 4. Havertz, Mount and CHO be my choice. This is not the game for Lukaku, Zouma will match him up strength and speed, too easy for them. Hope we get Jorginho and James back, we had no threat from the flanks, and nobody could keep the ball for 1/2 of the game.
December 2, 20213 yr How on earth do people still after last night want Pulisic to start over CHO? Mendy vs Kepa is closer to being a debate at the minute. Edited December 2, 20213 yr by Argo
December 2, 20213 yr I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tuchel try out the 5-3-2 formation again here if none of the midfielders are back fit. Any combination of a pivot between Mount/RLC/Barkley/Saul leaves us wide open, at least with 3 of them in there, they may have some safety in numbers.

Yeah Watford really targeted him rather than Dave and they got at him time and again. There is having a lack of pace, and there is turning slower than a Tank, then there is Alonso, and teams know that weakness. Having said that, while CHO brings with him quite a wonderful potential linke up of pace and trickery in attack, he does not have the defensive instincts and probably be caught out because of that. Still worth a try though.

December 2, 20213 yr With Jorgi being unused on the bench, and holding out hope both James and Kante recover for this one and, if need be, miss the mid week game, I would personally like to see  Mendy  Dave Silva Rudiger  James Jorgi Kante CHO/Pulisic  Mount Havertz Pulisic/CHO  Would also prefer Trev over Dave but I woild be shocked if he is able to play.
December 2, 20213 yr Oh FFS, these midday Saturday kick-offs should be banned. Some of us have things to do.

December 2, 20213 yr Although WHU have had success against us in the recent past I think we will beat them though not saying it will be easy. And of course we now need to watch out for Zouma on those set pieces.

December 2, 20213 yr Alonso was involved in both our goals against Watford. He also adds extra height which will be needed against westham pieces.                  Mendy       Christensen. Silva.  Rudiger James.   Jorginho.  RLC.    ALONSO.      Ziyech Havertz.   MountÂ
December 2, 20213 yr Yea Alonso is quality at the moment. See that ball he scoped out of mid-air last night, that was some Drogba sh*t!
