How to approach next couple of matches...

vs Sheff United:

Mendy
Reece AC Rudiger
Cal Kova Kante Chill
Ziyech
Tammy Kai

7 of 11 started in the 4-1 reverse fixture.

vs Barnsley:

Kepa
Azpi AC Zouma
Pulisic Gilmour Jorgi Emerson
Mount Werner (or Anjorin)
Giroud


Would be nice if Ziyech could reproduce his best performance of the season against the same opponent.
This is how I’d approach next couple of matches.
That way every squad member gets a chance.

All these matches and continuity in variant back three systems (suits most of the squad presently) stands us in good stead for Atletico.
Fascinating to watch how we'll fare and stack up against Simeone' high-flying back three system, the acid test.

You missed out "NOT" just after the opening word in your title.

Line ups look good but unlikely Tuchel will rid of Alonso (unfortunately) or break up Kova-Jorgi just yet

I don't think James as a CB is a good idea. And Havertz and Tammy would be a disaster.

Tomorrow:

Mendy
Azpi AC Rudiger
Cal Kova Jorge Chill
Mount
Tammy Werner

Didn’t Havertz and Abraham play together in the last round of the cup - when Havertz scored a hat trick. I’d hardly call that a disaster.

No, Havertz was a used sub agst the mighty Luton and I don't believe Havertz and Tammy can work as a strike pair in anyway, I can only see it failing big time.

I'd be very wary of Mount picking up an injury, If he starts today that will be his 3rd full-match within 7 days (expanding a lot of energy) and fatigue will impact his performance. Shouldn't be overused with our wealth of options.
Silva was the warning sign...fatigue and injuries should be avoided as much as possible.

Those are my reasons for omitting Mount from starting lineup.

No outfield player in the squad has played more than Mount this season and by some distance ahead in the minutes played.

I agree in that Mount has been overused this season, but not sure using 36 year old Silva, who has been used spari gly this season supports your claim.
