Blue Armour 4,442 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Good game to start Lukaku. Unlike other opposition we don't need to be clever about beating Arsenal. They will be defensive as usual, playing on the counter. They will need to be bullied into submission. Atomiswave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) This would be the best start for Lukaku. We need to stop keeping Arteta in his job. Edited August 14, 2021 by ZAPHOD2319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when they've been on a long run of terrible form and are looking for a comeback game. Atomiswave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,442 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Also, this game aside. Fixture list looks so frustrating. No breather for the next 6 weeks. One annoying fixture after the next. Not sure if playing all the big sides early and out of the way makes things easier, especially in the winter months when we usually struggle.

Clever rotation needed. Werner should be used for Liverpool and City. We desperately need another CM. Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe better to get these big fixtures out of the way before the Champions League begins. Blue Armour and Strike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? he's not had a long run of good games after 2016-17. Sensible to rotate him for Chilwell who's the better LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible to rotate him for Chilwell who's the better LWB Suppose it depends how fit Chilwell is though. If he’s not at the pace, it would be safer to continue with Marcos who so far hasn’t really put a foot wrong in the last 2 games. If he is fit enough though then aye bringing him in isn’t as big a risk. Its same for Reece on the right. Its just a weird and tough pre-season as Tuchel said in numerous interviews.

Warning_Hazard 156 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) This has banana skin all over it! Arse will be under pressure to get a result after getting zonked by brentford Could work out well for lukaku to set up shop if he stonks all over them and wins us the game But we will need to be at the races for this one.

Alonso's past performances against Arsenal have been nothing short of abysmal. Why would this be any different. Not to mention Alonso is easily one of the players who lacks consistency. 2 masterclass performances (I really would not call his SC performance “masterclass” but whatever), then drops a stinker on the next one. Alonso has regained his old form, He was rapid and everything he touched worked yesterday. Im not his biggest fan but you cant deny yesterday, Absolute class he was. Agree about lukaku having to start this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored most goals in his Chelsea career against Arsenal and Spurs (3). Didn't even play against Arsenal last 2 PL seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
