I expect a reaction. A huge reaction. Massive game and another key one to our season.I said that the Goodison's game will show if we have what we need to fight for the title and the answer was  definitely negative. Now we should bounce back and show that we want to comfortably be in the  top 4.

We need  at least Pulisic to be  fit otherwise  will probably watch the same shitshow from today. I don't wanna see Havertz on the wing but I do want him to start and to actually show hunger and desire.

missing all of our wingers could not have come at a worse time. all those tough away games where we would need to play on the counter and teams can push so high bc they know we cant kill them on the break. With so little time for anyone to get fit, expect another close loss here.

Has to be 343 if Mr. Made of glass isn’t available.

Doesn't help us with the lack of wingers tho.

Seriously would consider a 2-striker system here.

Frank said they did not want to risk with Pulisic. CHO and Ziyech are back next week so today was the day to risk with Pulisic.

PLAY TIMO IN HIS POSITION. 

If you're okay with playing Havertz out wide again, that is.

And if Pulisic is not fit., that's not going to happen

Wouldn't mind a 3-4-3 considering our lack of natural wide players. Take a leaf out of Everton's book.

It would mean that Timo & Havertz can play a lot more central and rely on James, Chillwell to provide the width.

Basically have our James and Chillwell push into midfield as wingbacks, keep Kante/Azpi/Silva/Zouma as the defensive shield.

That being said, still favor 4-3-3 and I think that's what Lampard will start with again on Tue.

Eh? If we play the back 3, then there is less emphasis on the wide attacking players - Werner and say Havertz - to provide the width and they can operate a lot closer to the striker. 

The back 3 worked well against Wolves in both matches last season, although Nuno has started going with the back 4 recently. So, I guess the matchup will be different this time but not a fan of us playing the 4-3-3 with square pegs in round hole if Pulisic isn't available for this one (don't think he will be) or if we don't have any natural wingers available.

Get a win..all be lovely..drop points and could be a long December!

[killer1257 3,282]

Don't see us winning. No creativity in this midfield, so our strikers will have to be on their own

Mendy

James zouma Silva Ben

Kovacic kante mount

Tino Tammy werner

No more of Kai. He is shit and unless he actually starts running (at the least), keep him out of the team.

I actually don't want to see Mateo starting.

Against high-pressing sides like Leeds he is pretty useful but against deep-blocks he offers no threat at all.He is not  very good at long shots, he is not the player to exploit the space behind someone,he is just not the one to go between the lines . The combo of Ngolo and him is too passive IMO. Havertz was shocking yesterday but I prefer him being one of the midfield 3 over Kova. At least he is capable of doing something in the final third.

Apart from Fulham, Arsenal away genuinely looks like the easiest game out of that

No moutinho after his sending off.

For your own sake after this comment and making excuses why we couldn't beat them before, you better hope Lamps and Chelsea turn up at the Emirates. They are having the worst home form in decades, and there's literally no excuses if we don't turn up there or they turn us over.

Even if they beat us it will change nothing, they're bonafide midtable fodder and all the metrics back that up, take the name out and it would be no different to losing to Palace.
