MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Need to start fielding 1st teamers vs experimental squads. Get some chemistry going. Barca’s first game so it will be quite telling if they mop the floor with us. Supermonkey92, ZAPHOD2319 and Johnnyeye 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomiswave 6,117 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 We will be more in tune for this match but at the end of the day its nothing more than an exercise win or lose. But a win wouldnt be half bad huh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 It’s annoying RLC and Kante are injured as Lamps has no choice but to persist with Drinkayoko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a win wouldnt be half bad huh..... Yep agree. These matches are just testers, win, lose, or draw, it's about how each individual performs, not necessarily the result. It's about who we've got now that 4 of our definite starters are out injured. Atomiswave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure my man....but a good exercise though, shame about the injured players, would have done us and Lamps a world of good judging what is what. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ain't finishing in the top 6. Nope. We still have Jorginho, Kovacic, Barkley, Mount... So those two won't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount and Barkley will play an advanced role. As Barkley has got older and a bit more disciplined tactically he could possibly play the pivot at a push but realistically you're looking at 2 from Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic and probably either Drinkwater or Bakayoko being a 4th choice option this season. The alternative would be if Lampard sees Reece James possibly as a utility player next season that can play across the backline and act as the backup midfielder. It would provide him with more chances to play next season for sure. Bosnian Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard said something about RLC playing in that position too a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
