For sure but equally hard to see him not playing the man he said is 'perfect' for this formation. Would imagine Pedro for 60ish (scoreline depending) and then Willian. Luxury of having both on form!

Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I get so wound up watching us at home. All my nerve ends are twitching. But managed to get the Mrs out for the night (and the dog) and couple lads around so I can shout and go bonkers with people that understand why! I really dont like neither north London team. The red lot most but these push the line close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Love all these bullshit interviews Pochs been giving saying its just another game and they dont want revenge or done anything different in training. Yet all our lads have been saying how much they want to win. If they start out with that mentality instead of leaving it to 2nd half we could tear these apart. Even to you kjnow theyre gonna be dirty sods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,915 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 CANNOT allow them to come out and look way hungrier and more intense than us. We have to match their energy and desire from the open ending whistle. Please no zombie, timid football where Hazard and Diego are totally out of the game. The leaders on the pitch for us like Luiz will hopefully have our lads super fired up. Probable title winning result here if we get 3 points! Must treat it like a cup final!

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 With Matic next to Kante, we're going to have a serious problem passing out from the back with the way they're going to press us. That will have a negative effect in our attacking play as Hazard and Costa could struggle to get on the ball, or get the ball in good positions.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Alternatively, if this could be an open game and say both teams have an equal amount of possession, we will win by virtue of our superior attacking players. A draw is an acceptable result in this game. Liverpool failed to take their chance and if we draw, it's back to 6 points with them having to play Man United next away from home.

Matic and Kante are decent enough passers to get the ball out. Matic has a few assists this season already. Think you're underestimating them. Fabregas in this game would be suicidal.

There's a difference between being decent enough passers and being able to deal with a high press. Matic doesn't think quickly on his feet anywhere near the same as Fabregas. Matic looks like a donkey any time he's pressurized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I hope I'm wrong and Matic deals with their pressing and he's able to have a great game btw. I'm sure Conte has done his extensive homework on dealing with their high press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he can't break up play. So who would you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
