Emerson isn't even on the bench?? Wtf ? 

Sarri must have seen him get terorrised in Serie A or something. Who would be Alonsos back up??

Aspi can switch over and Zappacosta can then come on.

Odoi wouldnt have made the starting lineup with the return of Willian if we had Mourinho. Come on Sarri!!!

Defensively sound maybe but the lack of quality going forward is quite frightening. Alonso and Azpi do not offer the quality required going forward to support whoever is playing LW. No pace.

Sarri please stop playing Alonso....

He would make u lose top 4... Pedro to have another antonymous game...Sane will finish Alonso...

Community Shield Lineup against Chelsea: Bravo - Walker - Stones - Laporte - Mendy - Fernandinho - Foden - Mahrez - Bernardo - Sane - Aguero

We are still learning a completely new style of play, so a respectable loss is understandable. We just need clear signs of progression and Sarri to quickly identify possible weaknesses like Alonso.

Maybe RLC and Emerson out because they are expected to play the full 90 against Lyon?  Maybe?  Isn't that match on Tuesday?

This will be the first of our preseason games where Kante's absence will be exposed I think. Cesc will likely be targeted.

I dont think Sarri's style requires full backs to get that far up the pitch, but I could be wrong
