Not sure if it is punishment. TT likes to rotate. Additionally, Mount needs to play in this one as with no Kante, he is our best player at creating turn overs in their third. 

Tbh, it was between CHO and Ziyech in this one for the LWF role and Ziyech did start on the bench at Watford. I am sure we'll see him start the next game. 

I gave the benefit of the doubt on Wednesday that he was being rested, with the form Callum is in resting for one match should be a stretch let alone two.

It seems to be that he gets held to higher standards than the rest of the squad. Pulisic, Mount, Havertz and Ziyech won untouchable starting slots for months when they had similar bursts of form.

I hate that front 3. No real pace in that team.

They deserve to start tho

At this rate it won't take long before Lukaku starts sulking and creating problems.

Hopefully Tuchel laid into the team after the start we made against Watford and we don’t see a repeat of that. We basically showed up in the pitch asleep there. And I’m sure WH will try the same thing Watford did by getting into us high up the pitch from minute 1 to get the crowd into it.

This match will likely be won or lost depending on how RLC performs in midfield. If he struggles again they will run all over us.

I'm not a huge fan of Ruben but the biggest culprit to that first half at Watford was by far Saul.

oh wow, I did not know Angelo Ogbonna destroyed his knee and will be lucky yo come back by next season's first month (and he turns 35 at the very end of next season anyway)

WH are down to only 3 CB's on their entire roster

What an unnecessary yellow

[Pizy 17,860]

Declan Rice single-handedly dominating midfield, ffs. He’s giving them their only real platform to do anything.

[DDA 9,570]

Ref?

[Vesper 27,318]

wtf, Rice mugged him

[Milan 17,835]

Our left flank is dead with Alonso. I would go with CHO immediately

[DDA 9,570]

Havertz has to do better. 

[different level 1,056]

Thiago!
