The 2 week break will probably mean we couldn't compete due to not having any " competitive match fitness" come the game 😆😆😆

Mudryk seems to have garnered huge praise based on 30 minutes against a very poor Scum side to the extent that some people seem to think that he is the second coming. It remains to be seen if he is burned at the stake if his next match is less than optimal.

He's the best player in the league and Balon D'or 2023 winner.

We need a winger that's brave, wants to play and shoot. Mudryk satisfies those minimal requirements for now. 

As long as he doesn't fall into tippy tappy sideways and back football, I'm good

Whose big idea was it to have this on a Friday night.

Can Enzo play?

No, but apparently they are printing Robinho shirts at the Megastore today!

Can't wait for this Hall, Gallagher, Mount midfield three. 

Hard to predict the lineup due to the amount of players available. I will be surprised if Enzo starts a game so soon, even assuming paperwork is all wrapped up.

I suspect we will something like the team from the Liverpool game but with Mudryk in for Hall, and Kova instead of Jorginho. Potentially some of our new signings, along with injury returnees on the bench. Is Madueke a possibility to play?

 

 

 

So, Enzo straight into midfield? Or do we bring him on after 60-70 mins? 

Straight into midfield. He is match fit as Prince of Portugal noted and will obviously improve the team. We didn't buy all these players in January just to sit around and wait for next season. We have CL qualification and this season's CL to play for. All of a sudden we are on paper a good shout of getting over Dortmund later. For the PL with 18 games left to play and needing to pick up 10 points on Newcastle and Man United there is no time to spare. Beating both those teams gives us six of those points which needs a further 4. 

So now we start our best 11 and shoot for the stars

Kepa

 

Chalobah

Silva

Badiashile 

Cucurella 

 

Kovacic

Fernandez 

 

Madueke 

Havertz

After this crazy transfer window a lot of expectations will come from the media, probably us as fans and the players are excited as well.

Patience and a philosophy, is something we need because we have lot of talents that still young and might need their time to find themselves in the premier league.

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

-------------- Kepa ------------

Chalobah - Silva - Badiashile - Cucurella

--------- Gallagher --- Kovacic -------

Ziyech -------- Mount ---------- Mudryk

-------------- Havertz -------------

 

We have some players are coming, returning from injury and also some experience from the bench.

Time to start something new, COME ON CHELS!!!

Probably the mob who run football.. ..SKY 

It's on their main event channel

 

 

Id have Gallagher playing over Mount but this is probably the most likely

Another home game I'm missing.

And another game where my ticket hasn't been sold yet !

Havertz is offside 

Is James back for this game? I'd be cautious and only allow a cameo if we could manage it. Enzo should start, we haven't got that many options and you can't hide your world class player

I think this will be a transition game and won’t take risk of throwing too many in to the PL at same time (wish they would though).

My prediction:

Kepa

James Silva Badiashile Cucu

Kova Gallagher RLC

Mount Havertz Mudryk 
 

If I was Potter:

Kepa

James Silva Badiashile Cucu

Kova Enzo

Maudeke Mount Mudry

Havertz

We should win this without James. But for the gods sake please don't start him...cameo is fine!
