closed Man City 1-2 Chelsea

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

Mental. We have to risk another 90 for Kante which is worrying for his hamstrings. 

[Pizy 18,849]

Definitely think we’ll rotate quite heavily for this which of course makes sense but is also worrying with WH, Liverpool, and Spuds right on our asses. City can and will play their strongest side because they want to clinch the title and coast until the final.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see one of Tammy or Giroud up top, Ziyech, CHO, Zouma, Alonso,  etc in to give some a rest.

I would be totally fine with a shitehouse performance here. 

Mendy

Zouma---Christensen---Rudiger

James----Jorginho---Gilmour----Emerson

Ziyech----------Pulisic

Tammy

We should be glad that we have such a big squad. Apart from City we might be the only team capable of dealing with a tough schedule like ours. For comparison, just look how Liverpool crumbled this season when they had to tinker their starting XI.

If you were Abra and Pep says to you "I 'll give you this match and you give me the final", what would you do ?.

How can it be made to work though ?
In old England Pep would keep Abra's wife as a hostage till the 30th of the month.

Silva, Azpi, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Mount all need a rest (though tbf Kante and Jorginho did get a rest v fulham. 

 

James, Zouma, Alonso and Ziyech should all be good enough to fit for a draw. 

                                   Mendy 

               Zouma      christensen  Rudiger

James           Kante       Jorginho        Alonso 

                        Ziyech          Pulisic 

                                   Havertz

I would agree, take the points, then screw them over in the final.

No way should Zouma being playing against their press. That is a recipe for disaster as he takes too long on the ball and their front three will be all over him. 

Alonso is also a no go, I am one of his biggest supporters, but you do not play him against pace/teams that will have a lot of possession as they will target him. 

I would go with: 

Mendy

Dave AC Rudi

James Jorgi Kante Chilwell

Mount Puli 

Harvetz 

The front three is a bit difficult to predict. Mount really needs a rest, but can you risk losing his off the ball work against City's back line? Ziyech or Werner may come in for him.
