I think it's wishful thinking to expect a completely different XI.

Precisely what holds him back. I think Sarri will either manage to get it out of him again or he'll stagnate.

Greedy. He should have passed without a second thought

Haven't played well, but the chances have been there.

Kovacic should have been subbed off much sooner

A set piece is going to decide this game

We are playing really narrow with a target man on the field. Put a few crosses in

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]
