Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We beat them with the false 9 so hes going back to his tried and tested. Johnnyeye and DDA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 This is how we beat them earlier in the season but it doesn't mean we will be lucky enough again. This could be really painful going forward. Johnnyeye and LAM09 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Makes sense. If we can stay compact and in the game with 20-30 minutes to go we can open up more then and have attacking options on the bench to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kovacic is a much better defender and he was amazing in that 2-0 City win when we played similar tactic Johnnyeye and Sideshow Luiz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Sarri wants that trophy It's for sure more defensive. Not sure it will be entirely about the counter attack. But, Hazard has to play, and we need to defend better on the wings, so Hazard at CF feels like the only way to do both things. communicate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Is Sarri trying to get the sack? My desire to even bother watching this has evaporated. xPetrCechx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledg 643 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Glad Alonso is finally sitting out but I'm very surprised he isn't in the group, considering it's not reported he's injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1905didierblue 748 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think playing the false 9 was the best move. Hazard just can't play on the wing against city. He can't defend and give the FB any cover which willian will provide. I think sarri has given us the best opportunity we could have asked for to win the trophy. Now let's hope the players show some grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against City your winger need to be extra discipline. I like his choice. But again Sarri is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batley or kovacic is probably a toss up. I will probably will play Barkley because he is more physical than Kovacic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
