I wonder what we are doing about the defensive midfielder position. If Kante gets injured again, we're depending on Jorginho to protect Werner, Ziyech, Havertz, Pulisic upfront.

We are begging to be hit on the counter guys. Unless Lampard has a plan for Mount, because he's a good tackler but getting a Defensive midfielder (our Casemiro) making the tackles even temporarily would not hurt. 

It all depends on if we can move Jorginho on if we can I think we will go for Rice.

Gallagher can play there, likewise Ampadu. Hopefully Gilmour wins the place once he's back, can't handle a full season of Kante there.

Lol.

Not at all worried. Conte will stink up the place if he does not get his first choice. Don't think inter would want that to happen

Ampadu, even kovacic I think Frank would play.

I read that as "Frank would play". Would not mind that.

I thought (and definitely saw on the few occasions I could) Gallagher playing as an AM, did not know he could play DM

He can pretty much play any midfield position (wouldn't be shocked if he could play fullback aswell) and has according to this actually played DM more than any other position.

Including many times for Charlton (he was mainly an AM for Swansea though).

The uncertainty around the position infront of the back four could give him a potential opening

Nice one, totally forgot about him. I hope he's experienced enough in the Defensive mid position.

Gallagher would need more experience imo. Ampadu seems the best option. People will target counterattacks against us so I wouldn't want a soft Gallagher or Gilmour there to be honest. I want someone that will allow Ziyech and Havertz not worry too much about defensive duties

Ampadu yes. I'm petrified if Kova has to play there. He'd could get sent off for his mistimed tackles.

Try ampadu there for preseason

I'm going to be old and grey before Havertz is a Chelsea player. 👴🏻

Also, people have to take it easy on the Ampadu talk. I don't think he's anywhere close to ready for the first team of a side trying to challenge for trophies. We need to get him a good PL loan to see if he can cut it here first.
