No downer on Brownhill, I just think it’s 1 from 2 with him and Cullen

Ooh I like that
I’m reluctant to drop Koleosho partly because he’s so exciting to watch but also the the electric pace unsettles teams but I do wonder if Bensonesque bringing him of the bench on the hour could be a better weapon and avoid burn out

[ecc]

Afraid the much-criticised Mudryk will hurt us down the left. Roberts will have to up his game and Larsen or whoever plays RM will need to help him big time.

[ClaretAL]

Where is Tressor up to at the moment? Is he still working on fitness?

[BleedingClaret]

Afraid the much-criticised Mudryk will hurt us down the left. Roberts will have to up his game and Larsen or whoever plays RM will need to help him big time.

Larsen has the pace to get back as would Koleosho but I’d prefer the latter on the left

[Anthonini]

Afraid the much-criticised Mudryk will hurt us down the left. Roberts will have to up his game and Larsen or whoever plays RM will need to help him big time.

So Koleosho on the right to help Roberts and Cullen wouldn't be a big surprise. Suppose with his pace and work rate he would be best fit for that role.

I don't expect many changes. Defence and midfield is settled. Don't think Amdouni or Foster would be left out either.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Think Koleosho might be more effective off the bench if we can stay in the game today. Obvious key is for us not to get overrun in the midfield.

Was there not a doubt about him playing today

[Roosterbooster]

Brownhill has to play to get the press onto Enzo Fernández. Otherwise he will just dictate at will
And need some pace to counter Mudryk
But otherwise I think its just about setting up to have some of the ball and get onto their back 4

I wouldn't be surprised if its the same XI as Luton

Be interesting to see if Zaroury is on the bench

[CoolClaret]

What I’d like:

—————Madman Muric
Roberts-Beyer-Delcroix-Taylor
——————-Cullen
————Berge———-Brownhill
JBL—————-Foster——Zaroury

What I think it’ll be:

——————Traff
Roberts-AAD-Beyer-Taylor
———————Cullen
————Berge——Brownhill
JBL————Foster——Amdouni

[Clive 1960]

————————Trafford
Roberts——AAD———Beyer———Taylor
—————————Cullen
Larsen ——Berge——Brownhill—Amdouni
—————————Foster

I think you could be spot on there

[alwaysaclaret]

Trafford
Roberts Al dakill beyer Taylor
Cullen brownhill
Berge
Larsen. Koleosho
Foster

Just don't see berge and amdouni in the same starting 11, too similar so gone for berge.
Want muric but won't happen
Muric
O'shea
Delcroix
Zaroury
Amdouni
Massenga
J rod
Odobert
Fitness dictates gudmundson and Benson
And even tresor not seen enough to suggest he's match fit yet.

Doubtful according to The Guardian.

Same for me

[Newcastleclaret93]

I think this could be a game for Ramsey.

Chelsea are weak against teams with players sitting in between the lines

[No Ney Never]

..............JT
...AAD...JB...CT...
Cullen...Berg...Browny
Larson..Ramsey..Koleosho
..........Foster..........

[Boss Hogg]

I’d like :
Muric
Roberts Al Dakhil Beyer Taylor
Cullen Brownhill
Larsen Berge Zaroury
Foster

I think will start Trafford and Koleosho with Larsen on the bench.

Ramsey should have started today
Against Brentford U21

Very strange comment.

[BleedingClaret]

Very strange comment.

Not if you do him out muscled by the huge Keiran Trippier or bright on and subbed 10 minutes later against Luton where he looked like a little lad playing in a men’s league
He’s clearly talented, but way way off physically

Shall we consider when he was our best player against Man United?

He got subbed against Luton so we could bring on an extra defender for height purposes.

True against Luton but why do you take off a player who has 10 minutes in his legs not one whose been on all game

Against Man U he showed his talent going forward and he also showed moments of physical frailty

He’s not ready imo

You’re welcome to yours

[Clive 1960]

Three changes to the team that played Luton.

[Neil]

Very surprising team

[Murger]

Well, I don’t think many of us would have predicted that lineup.

[FCBurnley]

Don’t think anybody would have picked that team

[Blyclaret]

What team

[claretandy]

Three changes to the team that played Luton.

4 changes, delcroix vitiniho odabert and tresor in for beyer Roberts koleosho and amdouni.

[ervi34]

Very strange lineup. I don't have much confidence in that back line.

[NewClaret]

Beyer obviously injured

Should’ve kept Roberts in for that reason. Too many changes to the back line.
