Wing backs. Let's use wing backs. Ndidi and whoever comes to training without a plaster cast around his leg can attempt to hold midfield. Maguire, Morgan and Fuchs and do that defending thing they seem quite keen on. Chilwell and do that running with the ball and passing it to other players thing. Albrighton's good at that too. Then Mahrez, Ian and Vardy up front. SEX.

If not for this game they should be able to change tactics mid game if circumstances change. If they don't do any work on this you'd have to question the quality of the coaching. Compared with last time we have better players available. The chances are that Chelsea will play a 352. Ignoring the wing backs, if we play the same team as against Man United, how do see Ndidi and James fairing against Fabregas, Bakayoko and Willian with Hazard buzzing around somewhere as well? With two days preparation it would be suicidal. You are way under playing the training what goes into defensive shape when learning a new fornation. This is all teams, across the country. You'd need a good week to properly learn what to do.
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 If set up right think we could get something out of this game. Problem is can see Shakey just go two in midfield and Willian , Pedro and Hazard will have a field day. 1-3 loss .
StriderHiryu Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 I bet they start with both Kante and Drinkwater just to rub it in.

Sunbury Fox Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 Not sure it is wise to try to match up their formation, especially given the lack of prep time. We tried that in the home game last season and they battered us. I think a better bet is to play to our own strengths and try to exploit the wide areas behind their wing backs.

STUHILL Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 I think we will see the same team that started at Man U. Hopefully Shakey will be prepared to make early changes if it isn't going well though. Would like to see Iheanacho get a decent chunk of game time. Silva and him to start next game perhaps, unless we have a storming performance against Chelsea. Slimani and Gray to also come on if we need to change the game. What a bench we now have!
CosbehFox Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 Shinji is often a waste of time post international break. He simply can't do the same workload due to fatigue. I'd go with Slim as Chelsea's defence struggles with physicality. To add, we'd help ourselves with no easy goals off set pieces

Master Fox Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 13 hours ago, chicagofox said: This is sad but true. Dragivic should start. Iborra if fit and Silva if signed should start. Ihenacho should start. But I won't be surprised at all if it's the same 11 who lost to the other two top-six teams we've played this season. Good old-fashioned 4-4-2 where we get overrun in midfield, and some City fans cling to the fact that we only lost by a few goals as some sort of positive. This.
Fox92 Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 Can't see anything other than a Chelsea win. Just hopefully not as big as 0-3 again.
Stevosevic Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 Be nice to start seeing more of the new boys

Think you missed my point, it shouldn't be a 'NEW' formation to them. Unless they are completely thick they should know how to play in other formations. If they can only play 442 then the coaching staff should all be sacked. They have had all day every day for a number of years as professionals to be taught this. Do you think when the likes of Vardy gets called up for England, Southgate is likely to say 'sorry mate, I was going to play you but you only know 442' or leave Cahill out because Chelsea play 3 at the back and England want to play with 4?. I think they're a bit better than that.
Guest Posted 5 September 2017 Posted 5 September 2017 Excited to see football back, excited to see the new squad, also a little excited to see DD and how he does. I challenge anyone who in their work life wouldn't turn down a job in one of the best companies in their sector.

Make of that what you will . . . .
