Not a matter of if, just a matter of when Jorginho will cost us results because of his immobility and poor defensive errors.

Who’d you like?

Hopefully Leicester’s second half of the season slump continues. Far easier to beat them to Top 4 than Liverpool.

Hope our eyes are on Kounde. Basically Christensen except he can defend.

Was never impressed to be fair. Konate always looked the better defender.

James Justin has done his ACL That's shit for Leicester.

I'd be surprised if Tuchel went straight for the 4231 at the start. And Werner again at LW? I thought we left that behind?

Mendy Dave---Christensen---Rudiger James------------------------------Alonso Jorginho---Kovacic Mount-----Werner Giroud

And that is why Kepa will never be #1 here. Can't control his box.

Getting mugged off by the 13th placed club in the Championship

Starting all three of Grealish, Maddison, and Foden. Because that makes complete sense. Austin should get off FIFA

I think the most shocking thing about Cesc was that his legs completely blew out in a matter of months. After the 2015 title win, he was genuinely a turtle.

Thought there were pretty strong reports that Ramos + Messi to PSG in the summer was a done deal.

Whilst I appreciate Tuchel building the foundation first ahead of doing anything else, we desperately need to see the attack clicking soon. Werner looks to be back, now just need Ziyech, Pulisic, and Havertz to find their form again. Thursday the perfect opportunity to do so and to implement the 4-2-4 formation.

Rory Jennings probably feels that way

Haven’t even realized they were both out

I’d of started Ziyech/Havertz and Pulisic but good team.

Imagine the scenes should Arsenal overtake us.

Kepa Livramento---Tomori---Rudiger---Emerson Jorginho---Gilmour CHO----------Havertz---------Anjorin Tammy

That's just so fucking bad. Infuriating. Especially when you see experienced players in Kante and Silva ball watching. Shades of the beginning of Sarri's tenure when we were so open in midfield. At least Sarri addressed that issue immediately and had a game plan.

Merely playing to his strengths is what Lampard's rarely done.

That's pretty good for a 21 year old player working under a manager that has Thou Shall Not Play a Through Ball as one of his 10 commandments. He should be doing more, but until we see more dimensions in how we transition and build up vs ping it wide and cross, I'll reserve judgement.

He's like Muller imo.

So essentially a 4231 with Havertz as a CF or CAM. I agree with you, but again, means nothing if Lampard wants to continue the pinging it out wide approach.

Or Lampard can coach his players to actually play through channels instead of pinging it wide every time... Bruno Fernandes and Salah have played more through balls than our entire team.
