MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Why are people picking Zouma? It's evident the CB pairing Lampard prefers is Christensen-Silva. Mendy James---Christensen---Silva---Chilwell Kante---Jorginho Mount------Havertz--------CHO Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Tammy Werner - Havertz - CHO Kante - jorgi Azpi - silva - Chris - James Mendy This is probably the lineup, Lamp love Chris so he probably will play,I like Zouma as Thiago partner. Probably the only question is who will play as lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to go into this game as men and not boys. We have the ability to beat them, we just need the belief and organisation to do so. Woy will sit back and try to counter us - and expect Zaha and Townsend on both wings... And don't forget Benteke, Woy will play him to get the 2nd goal of his life Atomiswave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Mendy Reece Silva Christensen Chilwell Kante Kovacic Mount Havertz. CHO Werner That's what should happen but depends who FL feels sorry for this week. Alabama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Play the team that clawed it back at The Hawthorns with the obvious exception of goalkeeper and maybe Ben in for Azpi. Would have said rest Mount and give Ross a start but that option is off the table now and the two 8's midfield is the best way to approach this especially with Kova in such a rut.

fmsch24 312 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 FL has to stick with a certain formation. Rotating players will confuse things, he has to stick with a game plan and not experiment so the players can get accustomed to each other playing style. It’s still early and the entire team isn’t back yet, but the Chelsea board will not be as forgiving as the fans if FL didn’t improve the squad after buying numerous talented players, and please stop the playing from the back nonsense it’s stupid and invites unwanted pressure.

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Christensen has had a decent start to this season even factoring in the red against Liverpool, he seems to be a lot more proactive with his tackiling and interceptions, Brighton away he was especially good. He also had a really positive game vs City at the back end of last season to add to that. Time will tell if this is a false dawn or a genuine breakthrough but i'm really not understanding why he's getting so much flack at present. 0007, Miguelito and Beigl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell if this is a false dawn or a genuine breakthrough but i'm really not understanding why he's getting so much flack at present. That's because Christensen feels like a ticking time bomb. Just when you think he's gonna do well and play well consistently, he suddenly goes and commits some dumb error at the back. And not to mention, he's not the strongest physically and can get bullied by stronger players. I don't think Zouma, for example, is perfect by any means but I would trust him more right now than Christensen. communicate and Strike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Unpopular opinion is if our left back and keeper are more solid our centre back pairing should do better. They all need some confidence and hopefully we can get that so whoever the 2 centre backs are will perform better in a situation where they aren't thinking that every shot on target is going in and that they will have to cover for left backs who don't track back. We've conceded 7 goals this season in 5 games. 5 can be put down to individual errors which is mental. The keeper ones we hope are mostly eradicated (he will make mistakes but hopefully not 1 a game). Then 2 on shit left backs who hopefully won't have to play many. And then thiago silva which has to be allowed to get a pass on his first one. Now more mistakes will happen. Our back 5 isn't exactly gonna be the greatest. But if we stop giving teams goals then of course we will perform better. We need a bigger sample size to see what mendys like but if we can be better from corners and he can make some saves that is a big big plus from last year but can't be easy for our centre backs in that scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
