Supermonkey 38 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippy 342 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Go with the same team which started against RM. They've had an extra days rest and had a much easier game midweek, especially on the mental side, so how much our lads have left in the tank for today will be crucial. Of course, 3 points would be absolutely massive but I'd be happy to come out of today with a point. Sadly, can see us losing by a couple today.

CL winner automatically qualifies for next season, so top 4 becomes redundant at that point. I would gladly lose all of the remaining EPL games and FA Cup if it means we win the CL, not even a contest. I would laugh in Pep's face and not say anything.

No, lets' assume first of all there can be no cheating. There are safety catches, since both own oil wells, tankers, marijuana valleys and they can find something. It's a two person game. In 2003 Saddam Hussein made the wrong decision in the two person game. He did n't want to hang, the allies should n't really want war (unless they too were fools). So the solution of the two person game was for Saddam to resign and go to Switzerland. He did n't do it. In our case ? But after the foxes popped out maybe no.

Pizy 18,952 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Eeesh. In a game both sides absolutely want to (and in our case kinda need to) win I don’t like the look of our XI at all. Not so confident here and am kind of scared for Billy against that midfield. I can foresee City completely starving our attack of any service.

I guess this game is thrown and I'm OK with it. I dunno, Billy seems a bit like the rest of our team, shows up for the big boys and not against the underdogs. I would rather he came on at 60 mins but he isn't a complete liability. My biggest worry is Alonso. As anyone who pays attention to my posts knows, I am one of the more ardent supporters of Alonso. However, even I recognise he can be a liability in games where the other team are going to have a lot of the ball and have pace going forward.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 So, how much do we care about the result today, especially after Leicester and Spurs lost? Surprised to see Werner starting after he started the last 4 games. I assume he and perhaps Kante will be rested against Arsenal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they're not machines either. Even Mount has finally been rested. And Tuchel yesterday was talking about managing the players' workload because some may be in the red zone etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
