[II McColl II]

It's got Carlo interchanging formation written all over it.

Probably start off in some sort of 442 but when defending matches up with Chelsea's wing backs by having Iwobi and Digne either side of the back 3.

Pickford
Holgate - Keane - Godfrey - Digne
Iwobi - Gomes - Allan - Gylfi
DCL - Richy

turns into

Pickford
Iwobi - Holgate - Keane - Godfrey - Digne
Gomes - Allan - Gylfi
DCL - Richy​

 

[Stephen Gibson]

We are going to long ball everything today. For this game i don't mind that.

UNITY IS STRENGTH, LETS GO BLUES

 

[Jim Hopper]

Docoure aside it’s the same team that put an end to their 17 unbeaten run earlier in the season... re-insert your bum plugs! lol

Ohh actually with the addition of Digne!

Who is John on the subs bench? Is he a defender?

Right back

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

451 when we’re out of possession, I guess. Have to make sure DCL doesn’t get too isolated and we can get the likes of Richie, Siggi, Iwobi up to support him when we win the ball.

Cool bench

 

[PeregrineT]

Considering we are missing both Doucoure and James, Id say even getting a point out of this one would be fantastic. Due to injuries we are out 4 starters and will likely lack the legs in midfield needed.

 

[Barnfred 55]

8? I’ve got 6 including the invisible man Gbamin (Seamus, Mina, JRod Doucoure, and Olsen)

I was including Tom Davies who I didn't realise was on the bench. Olsen. Mina. Coleman. Gbamin. Delph. Doucoure. James and Davies.

I'd still include Davies in that list as if he was fully fit he'd be starting tonight. Deffo.

 

[Thomasc]

Pickford

Holgate - Keane - Godfrey - DIgne

Allan

Iwobi - Gomes - Sigurdsson - Richarlison

DCL


Hopefully Gomes isn't deep alongside Allan because he's been terrible next to Doucoure there.

Think you have this right

 

[D410]

Long ball all night might as well cut out the sloths

I’ve stopped counting Delph tbf

 

[MACCA75]

I’ll call the subs now:

Davies on for Gomes 65
King on for Iwobi. 76
Bernard for Allan. 88
