closed Valencia 2-2 Chelsea

[MoroccanBlue 5,195]

Need a disciplined performance. Expecting big performances from our veterans. Dave, Willian, and Zouma. 

[Jase 43,479]

Starting XI (from UEFA site) - Kepa; James/Christensen/Zouma/Azpi; Jorginho/Kovacic/Kante; Pulisic/Willian/Abraham

[MoroccanBlue 5,195]

Like that back line, but we are going to need Mount at some stage. 

[Jase 43,479]

A better view of the XIs...

James at RB. Azpi at LB. Christensen partners Zouma in CB. No Mount again.

[Pizy 17,860]

Wow @ that team!

Some huge calls from Frank.

Predicted it perfectly. Tomori and Emerson deserved the drop. We will win this. Come on chelsea.

Frank's been rotating well in midfield and defense lately but I'm a little worried up front.

That front three are being overplayed and by the time we go to Goodison a week on Saturday could be exhausted.

I would give one a rest on Saturday and another against Villa.

[Yeboii 1,844]

Surprised to see Tomori out, but Christensen is so good that I have no worries.

Only disappointment is that midfield. Our wingers have a job on their hands.

Lampard doesn't fancy Pedro, does he?

Christensen is good? 

We shall see that.

He's setting an example of him & Giroud. Both will probably be gone come Jan.

But we're like overplaying Pulisic and especially Willian. Hopefully, CHO will be back for West Ham or Villa. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,195]

It's a tactical risk that I am fine with. 

If all works well, we have a fully rested Mount, Tomori, CHO, Rudiger, and Emerson for West Ham.

It's strange as I thought Pedro was going to be playing the role Willian has, because on paper he's perfect for this type of football AND he was in the exact same situation as these kids a decade ago.

We don't exactly have options and he has realised Mount can't effectively play out wide as well.

Neither were exactly busy during the INT break

Same here and he actually started the season well but got an injury and has suddenly 'disappeared'.
