Make no mistake, Abraham improved his hold up and link up play and that warranted his starts given the form he was in. Mind you, I was for Giroud to play against Spurs. But again, Lampard plays based on form.
Its amateur you haven't realized Lampard's strategy by now.
He plays based on form. I told you multiple times Tammy is streaky and the moment he's off form, Giroud will come in. You continued to discredit that for what ever bizarre reason.
Both. Can see him being a back up for Kante and only in the most extreme circumstances would there be a tactical switch to a 4231. Maybe defending an aggregate score or against superior midfields.
433 is without a doubt the way to go.
Need to remember we are sitting at a good spot come the hectic period. What separates us is the substantial amount of depth we have, and the good form most of our players and bench are in.
More confident about this game than the Spurs one. Think we can win here.
Werner
Pulisic---------Ziyech
Havertz--Kovacic

Chilwell---Silva--Zouma---James

You're making it out like Spurs are some mugs that didn't just hold the best attacking team in the league to 0 goals the week before.
Werner inches offsides
Ziyech missing that chance in the box.
2-3 crosses Tammy should of made contact with.
Those are 4-5 chances off the top of my head where on another day we could of scored.
Very selective stats that highlight the fact Kovacic and Kante have more to their defensive game.
Felt Mount was the only midfielder looking to make things happen.
