3 at the back, Loftus-Cheek wing back. Havertz undroppable no matter how sh*t he is.

Kovacic as captain - interesting choice ... 

So is this a 3-4-3, a 3-4-2-1 or a 4-2-3-1 I wonder ?

Surprised Chalobah isn't starting at right back ... I guess it is either Fofana or RLC replacing James, depending on which formation Potter has opted for ... 

No Cucurella in the match day squad again. 

 

 

Why does he persist with Havertz FFS, while young hungry buys sit on the bench....well I guess he's signed his own death warrant with that line up.  RLC guaranteed to disappear after 20 mins and then be overrun in midfield yet again... oh well. 

Someone DM me a link please, I don't know why but I want to watch it

 

4-2-3-1

1Arrizabalaga

21Chilwell

5Fernández

11João Félix

8Kovacic

17Sterling

29Havertz

Maybe it is Fernandez in the more advanced position? rather than Kova?

Don't understand Havertz being in the side when he is so out of form, while hungry young blood that have pace sit on the bench...go a goal down and heads will drop..again.

Havertz the false no.9
Potter the false coach
False Referee: Michael Oliver

The guy doing the line ups on the club web site has no clue how we are lining up either LOL. So much for collaboration !

"It looks as though Ruben Loftus-Cheek could shift to the right in the absence of Reece James ... "

Life is good when you’re Kai Havertz. 

That's almost certainly the Ruben Loftus-Tweak (RWB who moves into midfield). RLC won't be as inclined as Ziyech to hug the touchline in possession, although we have seen him look uncertain when getting the ball into the right-hand side of the penalty area. I assume our off-the-ball shape will be the same. Worryingly 'same old same old'.

Still no real idea of where the goals are going to come from in open play. We do have three centre-backs playing - are Leeds still sh*t at defending corners?

D.Fofana not in the match day squad again. If Havertz doesn't score in the first 80 minutes I expect we'll see 10 minutes of Aubameyang again. Aubameyang, incidentally, still has the best (lowest) minutes per goal in the entire squad ... albeit that's a bit like being the one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind right now ... 

I have no idea what Potter sees in Havertz. He’s dogsh*t.

Fofana as RB is my guess. 

4-2-3-1
 

So, who is in the 3?  that is not clear AND also who will be the Captain?

So Kova is widely reported as for sales in the summer, with no contract talks on the go, and yet is made captain? Interesting choice.

No man 3 at the back RLC as RWB 3-4-3

What's the formation today

Auba also has the highest win percentage of any player to play under Potter.

Which may be why he was banished from the CL squad as winning this early isn't part of the project.

A project that seemingly doesn't include Mudryk or D.Fofana either, great to see us writing off the season for Graham and him responding by playing old pros and loanees over the new young talent we need to bed in.

If they can't play while we have next to nothing to play for and can't score to save our lives when will they play?

Plus ziyech away on loan then starts the next 2 games, must be part of his psychology degree techniques 

So no Trev , what does he have to do ? RLC and Havertz wtf , can't see this going too well.C'mon you Chels 👍

I know this seems counter intuitive but I actually hope we get pumped today because our PL season is dead anyway, if Potter can see himself out with a defeat here we may have a chance of getting past Dortmund and going on a decent CL run

No sorry that’s the countdown to our inevitable dropping of three points.

Just like he played Ziyech last week...he really is clueless and has no idea want he should be doing.  IMO he needs to be working with all the young players and leave some of the deadwood and those likely to leave in the summer training with the U23's - Pulisic, RLC,Dave,Ziyech, Chaloboah, Gallagher? Mount(if he can't get his contract sorted) - these at the very least, plus anyone else he doesn't fancy.  But he hasn't got the balls to do it...we need someone who has.

Tbf Havertz Playing I've No Problem With, Just I'd Be Fine With Him Playing In My Football Manager Save And Not Real Life, Need An Actual Striker Playing Not A False 9

Not necessarily dogsh*t all the time - continually being played in the wrong position by Potter and others because we ain't got a CF or point of attack...he pissed of to Italy...where he can stay for all I care.
