Giroud starting and RLC back amongst the 18. Good news so far.

Giroud starting?  I wouldn't jump the gun just yet. Lampard was still going around the circles regarding him in his presser and said Abraham has competition in the striker area!

As for Loftus-Cheek, I'd be surprised if Lampard really throws him back into action so quickly, despite what he said. He might have been training with the first team but he has only played only 1 U23 game so far, IIRC, to get his match fitness back up.

Man, seriously wtf is going on with Pulisic? How does he pick up such a serious injury in training? Starting to piss me off.

I'm taking this as a hint for tomorrow

Kepa back in for Willy, Mount will be in for Kante, and hopefully Giroud in for Bats. I'd rather Giroud than an injured Tammy in such an important match. 

God knows I'd love to see AC dropped for Tomori or Zouma, but Frank seems to have fallen in love with him and out of love with the latter two for some reason.

Frank's words tell you everything you need to know about AC

How much have we fallen when fans pray that Giroud and Zouma or Tomori start 😂 can I add Alonso?

We've fallen pretty damn far. And yeah, I actually wouldn't mind seeing Alonso or Emerson starting in their natural position instead of playing Azpi there. We need all the attacking threat we can get when Pulisic and CHO are both out.

As for AC, just sick and tired of seeing him get pushed around like a youth player that was just promoted from the under 18's. At least Zouma and Tomori are built like tanks.

I said it earlier in this thread, if Kepa and Giroud are starting, I like our chances. By no means a sure thing, but it helps.

Lampard said Christensen "has been playing so well and is in great form" earlier today...

As I said the other day, I don't think Lampard has a clue on who his 2 best center backs are. The overall quality isn't great but yeah, he's almost making things up as they go along. Hopefully, we're looking at least at one CB upgrade in the summer!

Either Lamapard is delusional or just making up shit in front of the media...

Yes mate!

But who else have we got, when you consider it we've got shit defenders no LB/LWB, and a old 2nd string striker.

We'll still beat Spuds though, I feel it

[ZaynChelsea 423]

I actually believe that we will beat the Spurs. They don‘t impress me at all.

However, Bayern will massacre us unfortunately.

It’s already known Lampard won’t throw his players under the bus.  

[NikkiCFC 7,953]

Is he high or something? 

[Pizy 18,368]

It's basically going to be a "who can be less shit with all the injuries" derby. 

I do like how Lamps said in the presser that the players fully realize how seriously important this match is. But they should have last game as well and shit the bed. I truly fear for us if we lose tomorrow.

Back three and Alonso-James as wingbacks. Gotta do it
