Kante not fit for the game.

Lampard also said we'll give Liverpool a guard of honor (eewww!).

Blehhhhhhhh how lovely

Chelsea star N'Golo Kante ruled out of Liverpool clash as Frank Lampard issues injury update

The Frenchman is still struggling with a hamstring complaint

FUCK

he is ALWAYS injured

wtf

so sick of this shite

 

we all know (or I assume we all know) that AC never, ever was the same player after that Barca disaster under Conte

well

I think that Sarri perma-wrecked Kante in the EL last year

FUCK

it's like certain players have something bad happen, and it never goes away completely

it is a rest of career haunting

sigh

Think we may have to play a 343 now.

What's going on with Kanté? He is injured most of the time.

[DANILA 290]

same formation as against united, Kepa and pulisic on

I think Mount will play instead of Pulisic

No this game is meant for Pulisic.

Pretty confident we'll win this one

I just dont know man, already shittin bricks here. We just cannot lose here, defend for our lives and kill on the counter. Pool will be alot fresher, final home game etc, they will be up for it.

[MoroccanBlue 5,194]

Tricky this. Do we go with a style and formation that went toe to toe against Liverpool, or do we stick with what dominated United in the FA Cup? Extra man in midfield or more men at the back?

Our team really can't park the bus against a side like Liverpool. You do that and you just invite their two fullbacks to smack in fantastic crosses over and over again. And with our dreadful defending from crosses.....yikes.

We've had success playing against them this season by aggressively going at them. You have to nullify their fullbacks as well as possible by pressing them and forcing them to defend. That'll likely lead to counter attacking scenarios where we are also weak.

Basically, we need to play out of our skin again and hope Liverpool have another off day. But I get the feeling that they'll be well up for this. The chance to contribute to our missing out on top 4 is enough motivation. I know if I was a Liverpool fan I'd love to make us super nervous heading into Wolves.

But do we have the energy levels to do that? They have had a week off.

Pulisic fully rested, Giroud seems ready always for 75% of the match. Willian does look tired, except he really pushed through in the ManU game. Jorginho is rested, Mount is rested. Rudiger should be good. Reece never looks winded.

 

I think we are good.

Mount looked knackered when he was taken off. 

Hate to say it but this may be a good game for Barkley.

Kova and Mount as the Mids?

or Jorginho and Kova?

or Jorginho and Mount?

or are you wishing to see Barkely or RLC in there somewhere?

we only have 5 healthy MFers  (thats is the total for all 3 MF positions combined) so not a lot of wiggle room

Idk. This is probably one of the toughest decisions Lampard has to make. Formation, tactics, and players. 

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Hopefully United lost points right before our match then we only need a draw to secure top 4 which would be a much easier task.

Just watched the Ole pre West Ham presser. They were not going to let him off the hook about David. It would be so awesome if West Ham took it to them.
