Team vs Chelsea (A)

[EQP]

Have to give Doherty and Stevie starts. They both played well vs Leicester and deserve to be rewarded with another start.

I want this game postponed so i can enjoy tonights win longer

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I’m going to be very very curious what team he picks for this.

 

[Zippy1980]

Don’t want Royal in the squad never mind the first 11

 

[WiganSpur]

Lloris
Romero -- Dier -- Davies
Doherty ---- Winks ---- Skipp ----- Reguilon
Lucas ---- Bergwijn
Kane
​

Gollini, Royal, Sanchez, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, White, Gil, Scarlett

 

[Guntz]

We need to have Bergwijn and Lucas upfront with Kane.

Chelsea will come at us and I reckon we can hit them on the break with our pace.

 

[arunspurs]

Lloris

Romero Sanchez Davies

Doherty Skipp Winks Hojbjerg Reguilon

Bergwijn Kane

 

[wrd]

So Tough.

On the one hand I love the 3-5-2, on the other I think having a winks/peh/skipp on the bench is beneficial.

I'd probably go:

Lloris
Romero Sanchez Davies
Doherty Skipp Hojbjerg Reguilon
Moura Kane Bergwijn

Harsh on winks admittedly.

I'm also being desperate putting Romero in but failing that honestly I'd put Emerson RCB before chucking Tanganga to the wolves again.

 

[sammyj]

Take a draw all day long

 

[offside_ruel_fox]

Was Royal injured tonight or just bought off for tactical reasons (ie he’s shite)?

Gollini, Royal, Sanchez, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, White, Gil, Scarlett

If we play that, then Jorginho will get the freedom of Stamford Bridge again.

 

[SpartanSpur]

I think we need to play the 3-5-2 again. Chelsea destroyed us in midfield in the semis.

Bergwijn has to start after tonight, sorry Lucas. His contributions in the cameo tonight were perfect for a Conte forward.

Doherty deserves a go at RWB ahead of Emerson. I'd even consider putting Moura RWB off the bench if the game suits it. He'd give Alonso a torrid time.

I'd love Romero or Dier to make it but probably wishful.

Only other question mark is whether Reggie can play again on Sunday. If not Sess can step in.

 

[JCRD]

I really dont like the 343 or whatever it is... i prefer the 352. Which essentially means either Lucas or Bergwijn.

Also Doherty dare I say it at RWB.

Im going for Chelscum 1 4 Spurs

I think the 3-5-2 really helped us with our build up play tonight. Would be key for building confidence at SB. Chelsea are uncomfortable under Tuchel when they can't dominate play.

There was a nice tweak from Conte tonight where Winks/Skipp dropped into RCB at times in possession, with Tanganga almost going into the RB slot. Really helped our ball progression. Also explains why Conte would like someone like Adama for RWB, they get most of their touches in the opposition half.

Brave call for Conte to make with Moura being such a reliable player for him, I think it could be the one though.

 

[kaz Hirai]

As long as it's a 3 man midfield , can't just give up possession again .

 

[cwy21]

I know there's the whole games in hand thing and while a win is unlikely, if we pull it off it would legitimately bring Chelsea into the race for 4th.

 

[davros]

I think we'll start with the same 3-5-2 formation and lineup, but if there's a change then it will be Doherty for Royal.
Bergwijn did incredibly well today, but I still think Conte will prefer to start with Moura. Bergwijn will be hungry, motivated, and very confident when he comes on, though. I don't think he's always looked confident.

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Finally we can actually have a headache picking a team selection and not a who is the least shit at the moment team.

Doherty in as well as dier if fit. Controversial but I think Sanchez deserves to keep his place even ahead of Romero.

Do we go for winks or bergwijn or both at the expense of Lucas. For me it's try to keep the midfield and choose either Lucas or bergwijn (painful choice).

I think bergwijn will be on the bench, but it's a painful decision.

I think it isn't controversial at all to start with Sanchez. He's been pretty good this season, and he's been reliable enough to give Conte the freedom to ease Romero back into the team. As you said, it's great to have a selection of in-form players to choose from.
