Getting to within a point of Chelsea Id take a draw. Conservative lineup but one that looks more likely to keep a clean sheet

With the way the group think tank is liking this lineup/formation today, we'll probably get opened up time and again in the first thirty, be two down and everyone collectively will lose their shit. Nailed on.

Interesting line up. No Dele means no movement or hard running across the front. Wonder what our attacking strategy will be - or maybe we don't have one?

Considering our injuries, that's a really sexy team

Good team, maybe switch someone for Davies later when Abraham comes on, plus he will probably be tired as he only recently recovered from injury. Dele as impact sub seems perfect until he starts playing well again.

Pleased with the line-up under the circumstances. Also good to have Dele with a point to prove to come off the bench.

Love this selection. Our best five defenders playing, make it as difficult for them as we can. There midfielders who can control the game and take pressure off the defense and attack by giving us some solid possession. Pace up top.

Alli to come on later with a point to prove. COYS.

A lot on here, me included, have been calling for Dele to be benched even in MP time. No surprise really and if the boy really is frustrated with his form to date, he will get on at some point today and it's up to him to prove the manager wrong. Yes he may be one of our better players on paper, but he has been off form for quite some time now.

haha, this thread is gold. Everyone 'likes' the line up but if we lose that'll all be magically forgotten after the game as one by one you type 'this one is on Jose' and 'he should have started so and so'

Alonso and Barkley in for them, no willian who usually plays well against us.

If they played everybody who usually plays well against us they’d have more 11 players!!!

Glad Alli has been benched. His petulance on Wednesday was embarrassing.

Ndombele and Celso starting together alongside Winks is certainly something I have wanted to see all season.

Maybe. Or maybe Lo Celso, Ndombele, Bergwijn and Lucas are on the pitch idk

Still not sure why Sess can’t make the bench. Potentially come on at wing back if we’re chasing. Skipp seems a little pointless on there.

Was a late change, apparently Sess was going to be on the bench. Could be a slight injury.

If Tanganga does well RB or RWB could be his spot or the rest of the season.

So 5 centre backs and 5 mid fielders.

5-5?
