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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

The uncertainty around the position infront of the back four could give him a potential opening Puliiszola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm petrified if Kova has to play there. He'd could get sent off for his mistimed tackles. Supermonkey92 and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 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.

1chelsea 864 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 With Thiago Silva on board and hopefully a Goalkeeper I would conclude Kai is overkill and this leads to a fun season ahead.
