NikkiCFC 6,589 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 With Spurs, City and Juventus coming this is the game to rotate again before AV in Carabao. Rest Rudi, he played all 3 for Germany and only player with every minute this season for Chelsea. Mendy did not play one minute Also rest Alonso and give first minutes to Chilwell. I would start again Saul because Kova/Jorgi need rest as well. Mendy Azpi Chris Chalobah (Silva) James Jorginho Saul Chilwell Mount Werner Lukaku Also we saw last season that TT likes to play Kepa b2b games but before and after Carabao Cup we have Spurs, City and Juve so would not be surprised if he plays him here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MoroccanBlue 4,281 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I’d of started Chilwell and Werner but good team nonetheless. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mário César 318 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 why chillwell doesn't play? Link to post Share on other sites
Pizy 16,021 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Very disappointing that we still haven’t seen the Lukaku & Werner partnership form the start yet. I thought for sure TT would want to try to establish an understanding between the two ASAP so we can use them together often. Even more disappointing that Chilly is still out of the team. One of the best LB’s around and can’t get a kick… 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Magic Lamps 10,457 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Running Alonso into the ground will not make him better. He is only sufferable bc he is somewhat fresh and does not look as painfully slow as normally. I guess we need more Ziyech's creativity than Timo's pace here. Zenit will be out to park the bus.
