DDA 9,941 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Alonso and Azpi at wingbacks 🤨 How are we still seeing this starting line up in August 2021. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Plus Alonso was voted motm against Villarreal on other Chelsea forum. And can't believe people think there's a chance of James, Chilwell starting after zero minutes played last couple of months. Believe it or not, Chilwell is more of a threat lately. Alonso looks even slower than before, you can clearly see he's ageing. Did you forget Chilwell performances for us last season? He's way more dynamic. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buying Lukaku isn't suddenly going to make us superstars. He had WB options but decided to go after Hakimi, which had a knock on effect. The fact CHO played at WB for the last few games only to be dropped when it matters most makes you wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 This is for all intents and purposes our B team. Doesn’t look exciting or entertaining at all, really. Hard to see where the goals will come from. Just need to get 3 points by any means and hope everyone is fitter for the Arse game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Good to see optimism around this place…. not even kicked a ball yet and you’d think it was all doom and gloom. Line ups interesting but Tuchel did say it will take a while for some guys to get their fitness IIRC due to the Euros etc. Big chance for Timo today, personally would of played Kai instead but lets see how he does. Has to improve on that lacklustre performance in the super cup. Still think we will have more than enough.

Hardly surprising considering the internation tournament that finished last month and both our first choice full backs were there until the very end. Come September, the line up will look differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are they not fit yet but Jorginho is who played like every minute until the end of the tournament? How the hell should I know? But Tuchel surely knows way more than any member here.v My guess is Chilwell and James did not really have heavy training loads and then left for vacation. So they are surely behind others.

Azul 1,615 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 All I can do is trust in Tuchel, however that line-up looks incredibly average. Hope I'm wrong. mkh and Mana 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are they not fit yet but Jorginho is who played like every minute until the end of the tournament? I'd say it has more to do with options in Jorginho's position being limited compared to the wing back positions. I think he's trying to strike a balance between starting a couple of them (Mount and Jorginho) and maybe looking to give a couple of them game time off the bench.

Jorginho, Mount and these guys played on EURO. Chilwell and James had last game in May. Plus all these guys had pre season minutes unlike our wing backs.
