Conte should realize that Cahill is last years Ivanovic and he should be dropped.

Alonso is the new Ivanovic. Both play on the wing, both slower than a turtle, in a position that depends on speed to massively.

None of the team selections suggested here are sadly going be.

Bet my bollocks he starts Cahill and Willian, and probably Bats, it's to early for Morata

[Pizy 18,368]

Judging by what I read on Twitter, Conte made it sound like Morata is fully fit so that's good. Said that he could've been risked for Palace but chose not to so he could be ready for this one. Hopefully he doesn't pull up lame early into this one and isn't being rushed back.

God! i hope you're right mate.

i'd love to see Musonda-Morata-Hazard as a front line

I agree  Our left side of defense was a big problem last year (Cahill-Alonso and also Matić in some extent).

 

I would love to see following lineup when everyone is fit:

 

Courtois
Rudiger - Christensen - Luiz
Zappa/Moses - Kante - Bakayoko - Azpi
Pedro - Morata - Hazard

This is our best line up. Azpi is terrible on the right wing back role, but on the left has been amazing. 

The front 3 works well as well. Hazard can drop to that CAM or CF role, and let Pedro and Morata play up top together.

I'm hyped for this! Expecting a significantly better performance than last weekend and all 3 points.

Hopefully my hype won't be deflated the second our XI is announced.

Conte has finally seen the light & dropped Willian. Hope Morata is fully fit

[Pizy 18,368]

Nice XI other than Cahill again keeping the superior Rüdiger out.

[whats happening 1,525]

3-5-2 with luiz in the midfield?

[Johnnyeye 7,441]

wow Atletico just drew with Qarabag 0-0, can we seize this huge chance?

[-Kaplan- 410]

Well Conte did say he had to take risks. Fair play to him.

Yes mate

[Pizy 18,368]

That Roma XI looks pretty damn average, too. If we play like we did against Atleti we should have more that enough to win this one. Especially at home.

Can't believe the so called mighty Athletico drew with Quarabag...memories of when members of TC had them as group favourites to come out top of the group...at this rate they might not even make the knock out stages...
