Interesting line up and mirrors what I would like to see, would maybe consider swapping Iborra in for Ndidi though. Ultimately I think Morgan will come back into the fold though and that Puel will persist with Mendy and Ndidi... you never know though Edited 19 December 2018 by oadby.fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 Negative side of me is thinking after the changes Puel made against Man City and that some players need to take a good look at their own under par performances and wonder why we lost and then the diabolical penalties taken then were in for a hiding !! Positive side is thinking we can overcome this loss and put in a great performance and bring home the 3 points, surely things can get better and we can put in a decent display against Chelski can’t we ?? ????

I'd love for us to shock them but it isn't looking bright I know. I can't argue against that. We have been very hit and miss, lets hope this one is a hit Chelsea have recovered well after that defeat by Wolves and anything other than a defeat would be a surprise right enough. You never know though. Edited 19 December 2018 by Max Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxtonfox Posted 19 December 2018 Share Posted 19 December 2018 there are no guarantees with Puels team line up. Saw a stat that says we’ve made second most changes in the league so far with Man U and Fulham are top of that table. Look how well they are both doing ;and both have sacked their managers this season! One Puel crazy trait is that a player does well when introduced e.g Hamza and then they’re immediately dropped. What do you think this does for confidence and continuity? Im not predicting a line up cos there’ll be at least 4 changes from Palace game and we will all say Oh I didn’t see that coming ?

TheStig Posted 20 December 2018 Share Posted 20 December 2018 Not too long ago I thought we could beat anyone and was optimistic prior to any match. Nowadays not so much - we seem to have surrendered before starting - so the lambs to the slaughter - 4-0 loss I´m afraid - but please please prove me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how Yanited fans must feel after all those years of success ? A combination of losing some of our best players, poor recruitment and the fact that 'bigger' teams spent even more millions were the cause I suppose. But ... it's a time for optimism, we've got some great young lads coming through and we're on our way back with a stronger, fitter more sustainable model of team building ... albeit very slowly. How's that for blind optimism, happy Christmas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get we do have a lot of options and potential within the team but if they aren't playing together regularly enough then it's going to case us problems in games as we have seen.
