Hope Lamps sticks with three at the back for today. It didn't work against Bayern but we were probably getting tonked in that game regardless of formation. I think this 3 at the back formation with Alonso at LWB is about as good a team as we can put out in the PL with players available.

What would a 4-3-3 look like with the players we have that are fit...?
Mount Giroud Willian
Kovacic Jorginho Barkley
Azpilicueta Rudiger Christensen James
Caballero
Kepa, Zouma, Emerson, Gilmour, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Batshuayi.
Isn't very inspiring is it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really, which kinda supports those that believe we are doing ok.....all things considered.

I agree with you. Alonso give us much more in attack.

No, not at all. Azpi is fine as RCB in a back three by not as a LB in a back four. Unless Emerson plays at LB I don't think we can play a back four at all.

Yup his goal threat is a huge bonus and he frees up other players as well when he gets forward. He won't be here next season but he can still play a part for the remainder of this one.
I think Liverpool are in trouble in their CL match with AM, but I would live to them go toe to toe with Bayern in the comp.

I think RLC could get some gametime today....I hope he can be in a position to play a big role in the cup match next week versus Liverpool.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I reckon that he will have to play 45 mins today to have a chance of starting agst Liverpool. It will be very hard for him to hit the ground running though.
I'd certainly be playing RLC for half an hour today at least

They are different league. We have actually competed well in our games agst City and Liverpool. Bayetn blew us away.

I am thinking 10 minutes today and maybe 30-40 minutes v Liverpool is more likely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, I just meant how much he would need to play today, to have a chance of starting agst Liverpool.
Beating Liverpool in the Cup could give us a much needed confidence boost. But I think that can only happen if we are at full strength.

I think it depends also on how seriously Klopp takes it, and the team he puts out.
If he goes for a B side, we have a chance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I doubt he will. Only reason would be to rest players ahead of the CL tie.
Liverpool are home to Bournemouth before the play athletico again that's more likely the game they'll ease up on... I reckon he fancies the cup this year

Yeah this Bayern team are awesome. They've blown away just about every team they've faced in the CL this season and they'll get to the Final at least.
Our luck hasn't been great at all this season so we were probably always destined to draw them if we got out of the group stages.
Tomori and Pedro replace Rudiger and Barkley
So
Azpi Ac Tomori
RJ Kova Jorghi Alonso
Pedro Giroud Mount
Hmm. 3atb for Bournemouth.
Hopefully the WBs are pushed really high and it's more of a front 5 don't want us to be too defensive.
Glad to see Rudiger dropped, thought he was garbage against Bayern.
Hopefully RLC to get 15/20 off the bench.
Pedro's been gash all season. Hopefully he turns up today with a performance and hopefully he takes pride in leaving Chelsea on a reasonable high this summer as opposed to going out with a whimper. As things stand it's the latter.

Not too keen on playing 3atb at home against a team like Bournemouth. Alonso may be quite forward thinking but we're essentially playing with only 3 dedicated attacking players against a team likely to sit back.
