NikkiCFC 8,336 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Should we do a lot of rotation because int. break is coming after? Kepa, Emerson, CHO, Mount, Jorginho should all start. Also good chance to try Reece as RCB because he is clearly not for WB. Maybe Chilwell LCB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield United right now seem like the ideal opposition for him to get a goal or two if Tuchel doesn't want to rest him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I think Mount is sure for front 3, Havertz wont play after 3 starts in a row all other options are possible. Hakim can continue his run... Puli may start or Olie. CHO probably RWB.

We have 5 subs available for this game. So, we can easily just make changes later on. And also, start Gilmour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can "force" Jogi Low's hand by playing Werner here really. I mean, you have Mourinho saying he will start Kane against Dinamo Zagreb even though Spurs are already 2-0 up in the tie and have a game against Villa on Sunday. Moreover, Germany will be facing Iceland (h), Romania (a) and Macedonia (h). Think they should be able to win those games without Werner starting in all 3 games. Am sure Low will also rotate his squad anyway to prevent any issues for his Euro squad later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the best system we have at the moment. We changed to a 4 v Leeds and it didn’t work out as well. I think the back three is going to be pretty persistent until the pre-season for the next year, the big games we have played so far have shown that it suits the players and Tuchel’s philosophy.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Probably our best chance to win silverware and this is probably the last game that has any meaning for Sheffield so I say no risks.

Get Zouma in. May throw Kepa a bone, but I don't think we need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we are better than them, but never underestimate their fighting spirit. A couple of early goals would help settle the nerves. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Silva out of the game. Still recovering. Abraham back in training but had a scare after twisting his ankle. Doubtful for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
