Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

If Chelsea are smart, which they annoyinly are, they'll swerve Tuchel and go for Allegri

Yeah I've never really rated Tuchel that highly. Hell, I would go for Kovac over Tuchel honestly.

 

[Nymzee]

He was superb for Leipzig. I cant believe you cant just accept he's in a goal drought.

It amuses me that players who have underlined they can slot are seen as duds when they are in a rut.

Dave, trust me, he's not all that.

Just watched a vid of the 29 or whatever DBL goals Werner scored.

Goalkeepers are horrible in that league
SEVERAL actual assists from defenders, like actual passes.
Few pens to pad the stats.
So many sloowwwwwww defenders playing a high line making him look like Adama Traore

 

[Billy Dean]

If I was fat frank I’d be looking at front 6 like this for Chelsea

Kante
Mount Havertz
CHO Giroud Pulisic

Dave, trust me, he's not all that.

I only value my own opinion on football.

Paul Ince, the self confessed knob head, I mean Governor, a guest in the studio for MNF, don’t miss it.

I only value my own opinion on football.

[PITA]

Villa’s game in hand is against City isn’t it

Yes but our game in hand over other teams is also against City.

 

[zukai12_]

Marcelino to Athletic Bilbao

 

[PITA]

I only value my own opinion on football and eveything else.

Fixed.

I know the fixture list may point to an already decided time for a 'Covid' break (some teams including LIverpool don't have two fixtures on the week starting the 11th) but all the indications are now for a lockdown similar to the first one with shielding, schools closures and almost everything banned until Easter. According to the media lockdown by the middle of January or a lot sooner is almost certain. A further announcement on school closures is now expected as soon as this week.

With the way secure 'Covid' premier league bubbles are now being compromised and breached by a few players being prominent in our national media atm, prem league football is perhaps unlikely to be immune and may now have a few months long extended break forced upon it too.

Kovacic instead of Havertz and Ziyech for CHO for me. Or you can play 4-2-3-1 with Kovacic and Kante and move Ziyech into the #10 spot if you want to play CHO, which I think they should want to do more.

Unfortunately for Havertz the role he played so well at Leverkusen doesn't seem to exist in this Chelsea side. But he doesn't seem to me like a good player when he's not in and around the box so I don't like him where you've got him.

Ziyech has to be in the picture when healthy. The 5 game run of starts he had pre-injury was Chelsea's best form and he's been pretty close to the best creative player in the league on a per 90 minute basis this season. I didn't watch closely today but I imagine he didn't do great on his return. I'd persist with him though.
