When yan says โcookedโ, โover-cookedโ or โcookingโ take a shot
lol you've proper put pressure on Saul now ๐
Love that line up.
Lukaku is overweight. He can't play.
Cmon bro we need a strong line up coz zenit is gonna sit back,we need players like mount,ziyech starting for creativity for ROM and take saul out and put either cho or cp in lwb
would like to see romelu on the right wing with havertz down the middle
I'd absolutely love a Lukaku goal and a Saul assist…will do them both the world of good for their confidence!! ๐
Chelsea have a serious problem of not understanding how to use a striker properly since Drogba.
mendy
azpi silva rudi
james christensen RLC alonso
ziyech lukaku mount
i think its important to play a strong team to secure first in the group, this is not going to be as easy of a game as people are making it out to be.
saul at lwb would make life easier but i think we will keep the promise to play saul cm (if saul dosent play lwb, hes not playing for chelsea again imo)
let ziyech ride his form, christensen would be happy to sit back while RLC pushes forwards, cant think of any other midfielder we have atm that is "defensive"
wouldnt be mad if malang sarr played, rudi needs a break
1-0 chelsea
I feel bad for Kepa. Because Kova and Kante are out, our defensive shape is not so good meaning Mendy had to start every of those games.
I hope we try some of the academy boys this match. Harvey Vale might because heโs been part of the squad in the malmo game.
Chelsea play 5-2-3 not 3421. 523 has wing backs
Wow what a double standard on how you treat Kovacic vs Pulisic.. Where is your injury criticism?
With this lineup we won't beat any team in the Premier League but I don't know maybe it is enough to beat Zenith and we need to beat Zenith to hopefully draw a weaker team later plus if we finish first we play our next match at home plus the economy side of it being first we will get 20 millions Euros…
Updates on Christensen and Rudiger's contract?
Loftus cheek x Barkley lord have mercy ๐
Like your probables for game. Let's see if the front 3 can get some form of kinship. Romelu does need a pick me up in the firm of a g oil or 2.
I wish Trev was healthy so we could test a 4-3-3 with Trev at CDM
I miss kovacic more than anyone.
Interesting how the fifa card rates Saul higher than Christensen.
We need to find a new formation 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 would work my dream. Mendy Azpi/ contract Silva Rudiger Chilwell Kante Saul/ if he was good Ziyech Havertz/ scores more goals than MM10 Werner/ if he was good Lukaku= 4-2-3-1
Wow! if you get that team selection right, can you please select my lottery numbers!
Havartz up front and Lukaku where u put Kai make it hard defenders to mark Lukaku
๐๐พ๐๐ฏ
We really need kante and kova back I donโt wanna see Ruben n gorgi in there again starting only sub on Ruben doesnโt start well enogh
I d have Toni for Malang, and Hakim for Kai. Kai is starting on Saturday, so I think he's best rested. Toni for Malang for leadership, we can not afford to finish 2nd in the group.
Well… you know I like that lineup ๐
3-0 Chelsea COYB!!!
werner lukaku ziyech
We haven't been the same without KavoSlick. Can't wait for his return
time to change the formation, Tuchel needs to switch it up, lampard shouldve switched to a back 3 last december, Tuchel needs to go back to a 4-3-3 this december to save his job, mark my words
kova over rated
8-1 Chelsea
This is a must win game
Yea. Pulisic and Lukaku. I'm hoping it will be a revelation
We must win the game today
After today's games, I would honestly prefer to finish 2nd in the group…. less power houses we could be drawn against than if we finished top of the group…. if things stand the way they are, and we finish 2nd, we would either play Ajax, Real, Bayern, or Lille; whereas if we finish top, we could be drawn against PSG, Atletico, Sporting, Inter, Barca, Villarreal, or Salzburg…. with that said, heavy rotation is needed, and if we finish 2nd, I'm not worried about who we are drawn against except for Bayern; and if we finish top, fingers crossed we get Salzburg or Sporting
Idk,,.. maybe tuchel should change his system and stop playing people out of position using offensive wingers as wingbacks or playing straight up defenders who offer nothing offensively as wingbacks… oh wait no that wonโt happen cause tuchel only knows one formation which is why he has used it everywhere he has been regardless of if he actually has the personnel for it or not
Why doesnโt anyone on Chelsea shoot from outside the box? I have seen SO MANY goals from outside the box from other premier league teams and it seems weโre literally trying to pass all the way through to goal? We need to start firing from outside we have the class to score!
I thought rlc is improving every time we use him.
he looks like a close match to the pre-injured Ruben.
I really want Pulisic and lukaku to get minutes together. I just remember Pulisic and giroud combining so well
I am fine with your predicted line with the exception of Saul who should be on the bench – permanently. He is not in the pace of the PL yet.
CHO to score against Zenit, he always performs in UCL nights โจ
You can leave Saul at home. Why would he ever get a game again heโs awful.
I think we need to take this seriously if we want win the group, I get Kepa in goal only reason though maybe game time for when Mendy goes to African Nations. Probably would play Ziyech instead of Barkley, Ziyech in good form and we want a favourable draw in the last 16 if possible, so we need to ensure a win.
The team is falling apart.. half the team is injured, the other half is leaving… Lukaku and werner dont know how to score..
I love this FORMAT please do your videos like this all the time! ๐๐๐ The old format is cool but i love this. it's like ur just casually chatting to us fans๐ฅ๐
We have to perform good and win that's important. Lukaku Lukaku even if jou score and we lose. Then what did we win something or we win but we play bad. No team Wil efraim of us. Sometimes jou win easily just like city because team are afraid to attack jou fully. So chelsea has to perform good. And Lukaku is not a chelsea player
Save Pulisic and Havertz for Leeds. Play Werner out left and Ziyech right
Good line up Yan. I agree, Lukaku just needs to get on the pitch and get on with it. A goal or an assist really would boost his confidence
