closed Chelsea 1-1 Krasnodar

[Jase 43,479]

Worth mentioning that Jorginho, Kovacic and Mount are all 1 yellow card away from a match suspension in the Champions League. Ziyech is also another one but he won't feature at all, so that's okay. 

[Jase 43,479]

CHO out with a hamstring injury. Picked it up in training yesterday.  

[Jase 43,479]

Lampard confirms Kepa will start this match.

[Pizy 18,913]

And just like that our stellar depth at the wing position is decimated. Just when we finally get Pulisic back from a hamstring injury we pick up hamstring injuries to our two other wingers.

Now we'll likely be forced to play Pulisic who is made of glass more than he should be playing instead of being cautious with him.

2 hamstring injuries since Lampard said this last Friday... 😭

Could do Emerson and Havertz on the wings in a 343

An academy call up on the right and Werner on the left ?

Virtually no one of our starting XI should start. Havertz the exception.

Yeah, forgot Havertz can easily play on the right. I'm fine with him playing out there against smaller sides but hope not to see him there against top opposition.

[Abreu03 292]

Kepa; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Tomori, Emerson; Jorginho, Gilmour, Kovacic; Pulisic, Havertz, Abraham

[MoroccanBlue 5,382]

Why would we play our most injury prone player in a meaningless game, when we already have two wingers out injured? 

[Jase 43,479]

We need to just throw the kids on for this one...

[killer1257 3,282]

Livramento, Lewis Bate and Anjorin should be at least on the bench. They deserve it

3-4-3: Kepa, Tomori, Christensen, Rüdiger, Alonso, Gilmour, Jorginho, Azpilicueta, Emerson, Abraham, X

X = Werner, Havertz or preferably one of the youth if at all possible (COVID restrictions etc.)?

Emerson can play as an emergency winger for this one like he did for a while against Barnsley.

The lineup looks horrible and really unbalanced but it's a dead rubber game anyway.

What's the deal with registration though? Can we even play these aforementioned academy players? Not sure many of them are actually registered for UCL?

At least Lawrence and Anjorin are included in the B list.

Emerson and Havertz could play on the wings - Emerson did pretty well there  earlier this season.

In addition there is List B, made up of players aged 21 or younger with two years’ training at the club. This list can be updated at any time up to midnight before a Champions League match.

Fuck! Now when injury of Ziyech opened space for him he got injured... With them both out this means for the next PL games we will go with Werner LW and Pulisic RW which is pretty annoying...
