closed Chelsea 3-1 Southampton

[ZAPHOD2319 3,873]

Winning makes everyone happy. I really don’t want to see how fast the fan base would turn on Tuchel if we keep dropping points.

[Last Sicarius 610]

My realistic(sadly 3 back) team for today
Mendy
Christensen-Silva-Rudiger
Azpi-RLC-Jorg-Chilly
Mount-Lukaku-Werner
2-0 with Lukaku goals and Azpi assists.

We need to see a fair bit of rotation today to freshen things up. If that doesn't happen and we don't get the win, questions will be asked.

WOW!

[Superblue 6,331]

Is this Chalobah at the back, Azpi wing back and CHO in front 3?

Or azpi at the back, CHO wing back and Chalobah in midfield? If it's the second one I'm guessing Loftus Cheek would be in a number 10 role behind Werner and Lukaku.

I’m seeing Chalobah in midfield. CHO RWB.

Shaking things up.. Not bad

 

Livramento also one to watch.

[DH1988 1,194]

Strange line up, but we've had some strange performances to be honest, so I've got an open mind.

Chilwell against Tino.. Yikes.

[Magic Lamps 11,447]

Weird lineup. Is RLC in the pivot or an AM?

looks like no connection between midfield and attack again. 

But at least Alonso is finally benched

This is my worry as well. Who is going to feed Timo and Rom the ball here? I guess we’re banking of CHo and Chilly to do so from wide?

I just hope we hurry up and get back to playing confident, front foot mentality after the last 2 shocking performances. If we come out here and start walking about like a Sunday morning stroll in the park I’m going to start to worry about us. Two poor performances in a row is concerning. Three would be dangerous.

It's so crazy to see RLC back in action again. After his bad season at Fulham, he was done. And now he's back. 

A fighter. 

[YorkshireBlue 2,824]

This line up scares me 

[different level 1,056]

Way too many defensive players in this lineup. Honestly I'm a bit worried, but let's see.

[YorkshireBlue 2,824]

It's like TT is terrified of loosing 

[different level 1,056]

Also it's fair to say Saul has been a completely pointless signing so far when even RLC, Barkley and Chalobah (in CM) are in front of him in the pecking order.

Mixed feelings about the XI. Pleased to see Tuchel actually ring the changes from the get-go, but it seems like the same formation (CHO at RWB again). 

Hope we back bounce.

Edit - Maybe CHO is playing on the wing after all.
