Kante needs to give him more advice in the future. [emoji1]

That could go for a number of Brazilians: Alex Teixeira, Hulk, Oscar to name a few.

So happy Hazard took matters into his own hands tonight, which resulted in a worldie. Hope this is just the start

Lol! We haven't played bad, but Morata can't buy a goal and no one else is going to get a goal. Hazard should have been enough

Not sure why Sarri is bringing on starters

I doubt we'll spend big money in Jan

A decent attacker would make the difference

Line up I expected. CHO should be starting without question, though

I just don't think he has it in him to excel on both sides of the field. However, I agree with the sentiment that he's far from hit his stride thus far.

And defensively? That midfield would not be running back to goal, so it could be suicidal away from home. Might get away with that at home if we take our chances. The main takeaway from recent weeks is that Kante shouldn't be furthest one forward at all regardless of his "energy".

That would mean Kante not starting? Barkley is built for the Hamsik role, but he failed to impress after Perth. I'm sure he'll get his chance to do so tonight

At least two players that started on Thursday and Sunday will play on Wednesday. He's clearly reluctant to give some players a chance.

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.
