Going for the jugular!

Really interested to see how we line up when attacking and of course (and maybe more relevant today) when defending.

5-3-2?

Thanks for staring the thread BE - Is that going for the jugular or juggler?

[Chris_Jephcott]

I’m trying to work out where the creativity is coming from…

There is a lot of creativity on the bench though. Disappointed Bailey isn’t starting, but hopefully will be on around 50-60 mins.

Chelsea will be going for a jog.

I thought Thiago couldn’t play?

[Drummond]

4 1 3 2?

I'm going to hyperbolise in the hope of looking like a twat after we win. Playing with five at the back when you have two of the best strikers in the league on the pitch, and leaving your two most creative players on the bench is gutless and invites a hammering. As somebody else said on the pre-match thread, Bruce out!

They can all play

[Bad English]

Their team has eleven players Silva etc.

[Risso]

5-3-2?

Either that or Tuanzebe next to Luiz in a 4-2-3-1. Either way, urgh.

[Monty]

3-5-2. Knew it.

[brontebilly]

3 at the back...some on here will lose their minds...Makes sense to try it today and match up with Chelsea.
