I don't disagree with the high chance of that midfield line-up starting unfortunately. After watching Spurs thoroughly outplay Juve at their own patch, I started to give myself hope that anything is possible but then I remembered that we will have Bakayoko, Cahill, Alonso and Moses in our lineup most probably and then my new found hope faded away.

Yeah exactly, keep your expectations low, it will be painful to watch. We'll do fine to come away with a draw, in the away leg I don't hold much hope at all. Anything can happen though.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Antonio Conte says David Luiz, Ross Barkley and Tiemoue Bakayoko are all out of tomorrow's game. There are a couple of other situations he needs to check on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 So the last 3 midfield signings we've made (Baka, Drinkwater, and now Barkley) have either been injured when they signed or got injured almost immedietly afterwards. Fucking great. This run of fixtures we have coming up would've been the ideal time to have Ross fit and now who knows how long he'll be out.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Injuries again... What the hell is happening? That was our strongest point last aseason: we barely had any injury. Now there's not a week to go by without having someone with physical issues. What's the staff doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are slowly turning into Arsenal in every sense, injuries every week is part of arsenalitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It's not that Barkley is any useful the way Conte deploys him but still his obvious lack of fitness does not help driving up his market value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledg 643 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Kante, Azpi, Hazard, Courtois all rested. Can't say that I can complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Center of the pitch and center of the defense look a bit sketchy but we should still be wining this. Cahill and Ampadu without the protection of Kante in front of them is a recipe for some fuckery. Also a complete lack of pace in midfield with Drinks and Cesc.

manpe 10,861 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Good line-up. Delighted our key players are getting fully rested, not even on the bench. Expect Hudson, Morata and Sterling to come on if we have no forced substitutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,958 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Emerson will hopefully give Conte a selection head ache for the LWB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
