Another odd bench especially after Thursday. There isn't much to choose from, so I hope our starting XI can get the job done.

There's certainly more to this than meets the eye. Can get minutes for the Italian NT but isn't worthy of a spot on our bench.

Morata with another poor performance. He's running out of chances

Emerson is ill. I'm disappointed with the entire squad tbh. We have to be winning comfortably with that XI.

Along with Piazon. Why didn't they get shipped off to anyone before 31st.

No idea if reports are true about Emerson being ill or not. He needs game time at some point to give Alonso competition.

I'm hoping to see Emerson alive and well on Thursday

Great afternoon for him. Nice to see him grab a few goals

I honestly hope AC impresses before we play Liverpool in the league.

Giroud showing his worth

Conte's doing. I still rated Michy ahead of our current options, but he isn't good enough either to challenge on all fronts. Anyway, let's make it 5 out of 5.

At least one offers something regardless of how he's playing. Prime reason he starts for France

One less liability. Big month ahead for Morata

Luiz has been his only partner, so there isn't much to discuss. The former has been a cause for concern from the get go. Things have been going well results wise, but Sarri needs to drop underperforming players before they cost us.

I highly doubt he's going anywhere now

He seriously has a problem

I put down to be our top scorer this season, so I have no doubts he'll deliver if fully fit.

He has alot of work to do, then. [emoji1]

Four wins out of four to sign off for the INT break. Can't ask for more Hope we see that front three start games when we resume.

He's already been booked (33rd min)

Prevented an early throw

We really need more than that tbh. Has to put himself around instead of expecting things on a plate, when leading the line by himself.

Immediate difference with Giroud on the field

Alonso is our best bet of breaking through

I'd like to see at least one defensive change from last week. Not hopeful, though
