He’s also being hideously mismanaged.It’s tactics from Ole to be honest.
Chelsea will play on the counter so I understand Mata and I understand the lineup. Tuanzebe is expected not to start after being out for so long.
We’ve got James in there to stick to Pulisic I reckon and that’s not a bad tactic but I thought we would go for Greenwood here and make hay while the sunshines.
I guess it’s wear them down then bring on Greenwood, Cavani and Pogba.
I don’t think it’s completely baffling to be honest in terms of tactics guys.
Expect to see this if we are losing.
——————Pogba——Fred————
—————————Bruno——————
—————————————Rashford
——Greenwood—Cavani—————-
with Greenwood higher up.
Ohh ok yeah if Tuanzebes available he'll get games in but it'll all come down to who can stay fit imo.
Looks like he's going to go with keeping it tight for 60 and bringing on the likes of Pogba/Greenwood/DVB to finish them off again.I was expecting this line up given Ole would have wanted to reward the players who did well at Newcastle and PSG. Scott and Fred were nailed on to start with Pogba to come off the bench.
Maguire was going to come back in if he was fit. James is our only LW if Rashford is up top. Fully expect Cavani to come in at 60 or so mins to replace James. Of of Scott or Fred comes off for Pogba depending on form/ tiredness.
let’s hope this is good enough to win...
And yet no matter how often you scream or moan, no one will sack Ole for you.
tough gig man, what you gonna do about it?I should have enjoyed the midweek high more, the state of this place if we go behind early, it'll get grim very quickly.
For many of our fans it is about who is cool and has best instagram... Not what they can bring to the team on the pitch from tactical point of view. I'm loving that Mata i starting. Well deserved.Lampard gone 5 at the back which tells me he was fully expecting Ole to go that way too.
Let's see if Ole's decision is a masterstroke or mistake. Can't be doing with negativity before game even starts. We might play great.Pogba being benched after talking Madrid makes me heart warm.
I'm not happy with the starting eleven either, but lets play the game before we start sacking people. Okey?
It was one game, against a far weaker team. We've seen countless of crap performances from Mata over the years and I don't think he'll have much impact in a game like this, but hopefully I'm wrong.Brave as feck lineup. Worried about Mata getting pinned back with Chilwell and James being anonymous
yOu got the wrong K_ash, sorry!If Telles is injured, I’d have gone:
DDG
AWB Axel Maguire Shaw
McT Fred
Greenwood Bruno Pogba
Rashford
I love James, but his and Lindelof’s inclusion are ludicrous. Mata’s is debatable.I’d normally be quite optimistic but I’m not a big fan of that lineup, I must admit. The bench looks stronger than the starting XI, FFS!
perhaps - it’s also more important for us financially to get to the knockout phase, and we have a tough groupCome on James, reward Ole with his trust in you and get us a goal. Please.
You do have an incredibly short memory.
4-2-3-1 Got us to third playing some incredible stuff.People were chatting shit about our lineup prior to the PSG game. Chill out ffs. Not the lineup I would have picked either but let's see how we start.Feck off with the negativity in here, guys. Just about done with the Caf.
This place is full of losers and whiners . Sad lot really.
I think the big difference is we have a midfield that will outwork other teams. I don't see a massacre but that doesn't stop defensive mistakes.
Rashford Vs Silva won’t be just as much of a mismatch? Come on
Oh how the tune has changed from the last game they playedHopefully McFred will finally prove any remaining doubters wrong today. Would have gone Greenwood instead of James but hope James can have a good game today.That lineup really sucked all the excitement from me for this game, but you got to hope for the best I guess.As underwhelming as the lineup is, there's a lot of match-winners on the bench. Bringing on quality with 30 minutes to go can often blow the opposition away.
Would make sense: he calls his fatso agent to complain telling him ole picked Newcastle team, and fatso texts his mates in UK media.
If Chelsea are going to play mega-defensively, then I think we've chosen a decent lineup to go up against that. It all hinges on what we get out of James, because he is taking up a starting 11 spot. Considering some of those players that are on the bench, I think he has to count himself lucky to still be featuring, as he isn't really contributing as much.Very surprised at that team I must say. Was not expecting a change away from a back 5. Fred and McTominay did well against PSG so not surprised to see them keep their place.
No Telles. Not even on the bench. I wonder if he's injured? Or they don't think he's up to speed for the League or something?
Very surprised James is playing. Mata did well against Newcastle so good for him to start. We've a strong looking bench too which could prove to be invaluable. Chelsea starting team looks stronger on paper.
Alright, calm down.Who needs enemies with supporters likes this.The league cup lineup. No dressing it up today, if we don't win questions need to be asked. Daniel James shouldn't be on the bench, never mind starting one of the biggest games of the season. The bench options are ridiculous we have, on Ole this. I've been behind him and want him to do well but that lineup is shocking.
did you feel like that after the PSG line up as well? Be honest
Needs more doom and gloom
Poor Pogba: no-one in the entire world understands him.
Newcastle was just a week ago and Chelsea is certainly not Newcastle. That lineup would have been down 1-2 had it not been for DDG save? so what is OGS seeing here??Hope we win, such a meh lineup that against Newcastle we would still win, this is Chelsea.... hope he isn't tinkering too much.- Status
