Hazard -> James ???

Conte staying means Hazard, RLC amd Willian leaving? Well done... Great strategy for not paying 4M for Sarri

Yes but have in mind that he plays in poor team. They will probably defend most of the time against Uruguay.

What about Golovin? I didn't know much about him before yesterday but his game was on point and also had a great season at CSKA. Could be perfect for Sarri, creative midfield with some hardwork in him. Roman probably have good relationship with Russians?

We need to give him a chance in first team. Reminds me of Zielinski if we compare it to Sarri's Napoli. Him and RLC could fight for that attacking midfield spot in midfield 3 with Kante as DM and new player alongside.

Off to City perfect fit for them

I would love him here His teams always play attacking football

Give some youngsters a chance from the start and put others on the bench. They deserve it after a great season Hudson-Odoi and Sterling in starting eleven, Chalobah, McCormick, Grant, Maddox and Redan on the bench

Before buying something, I think we should sell some players first and look at our loanees and youngsters. Jay Dasilva, Kurt Zouma, Mason Mount, Ola Aina, Loftus Cheek, Kenedy, Ampadu and Hudson-Odoi (probably I missed someone) ... they deserve a proper chance in preseason games at least We also need to sell some average players, buy high quality players on positions that we need to strenghten and bring some youngsters to first team I would rather have bench full of youngsters named above over someone like Zappacosta, Drinkwater, etc. who bring nothing extra in terms of quality or talent.

Haha, talking about Salah in Chelsea times We all saw raw potential but he didn't offer much other than pace

Super fast player who has poor finishing... Salah 2.0 is that you?

I want to see that 352 lineup with Pedro or Willian instead of Fabregas ------------------ Courtois ------------------- ------- Azpi - Cahill - Rudiger ---------- Moses - Bakayoko - Kante - Alonso -------------------- Willian -------------------- ------------- Giroud - Hazard --------------

Slaviša Jokanović should be on that B List, if there is one

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein

I don't care if this lineup is unrealistic.. Courtois Azpi Christensen Rudiger Moses Willian Kante Emerson Hudson-Odoi Morata Hazard

I hope it's true He doesn't want to be around anymore and doesn't want to change or try something ... Put an interim manager (Joe Edwars or Jody Morris) that will try some players and formations for next season.

Courtois Azpi - Christensen - Rudiger - Emerson Willian - Kante - Fabregas Hudson Odoi - Morata - Hazard

You have to keep in mind that all attacking players like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar etc. don't run that much and don't need to cover so much ground as Hazard in our system...

I fear the worst, they are really fighting for every ball and our team... Let's just say they don't

I agree, Alonso will start 100% but this is my "dream" team for tomorrow I also think Cahill will start instead of Rudiger ... Cahill - Alonso on that left side against Valencia and Sanchez could be suicide tbh

And we should buy him just to "steal" him from them and once again fail to bring players that we really need?

Courtois Azpi - Christensen - Rudiger Moses - Kante - Fabregas - Emerson Willian - Giroud/Morata - Hazard Go for it, press them high!

I have to agree with Hazard here, I think many of that long balls could be hold up by Giroud or Morata and than played to Hazard&Willian bursting in counter attack We could see many long balls going directly to their center backs because Hazard didn't even try to go to duel with Pique or Umtiti (and righlty so because he is not that type of player and he could risk an injury). Morata or Giroud should start at Nou Camp, to add something to our game, some strenght upfront and to have "route one" option out of the defence if they press high

Exactly! People think that you need two or three fast attackers to launch a proper counter attacking option but do you remember Morata injury versus Manchester City? Willian came in and we were stuck in our own half without a proper target man to hold up the ball and link up with fast transitioning players I would put Giroud upfront with Willian and Hazard alongside to burst forward whenever possible

If we continue with Cahill - Alonso on left side of defence we will get exposed BIG time in next few fixtures...
