It's going to harder for their back 4 to look after 2 strikers rather than 1. Or am I over-simplifying this?Why dont we go again with the 2 up front,why dont we make them think,they have the same work ethic as us ,but fabregas doesn,t.if the levels of commitment and HK supporting we may overload and win that battle?
[formation=4231, Lloris, Dier, Fazio, Verts, Davies, Mason, Bentaleb, Lennon, Chadli, Eriksen, Kane][/formation]
Keep it roughly the same just drop one striker, tempted to put chadli in just behind Kane with his physical presence, him and Kane to offer something of a battle.
Dropping Soldado after he's FINALLY scored a goal, way to ruin a man's already fucked confidence
We weren't playing 2 up front today
We kind of were when you watch Kane and soldado they were often pushed higher than the other players they are both strikers by instinct even if Kane has a good all round game I'd rather stick an extra midfielder in away to chelsea perhaps even Dembele or stambouli.
Going away to Chelsea with two forward type players is somewhat gunho. Perhaps as they game moves on changes things up but my memories of us playing top 4 teams recently is too strong to want us to be ballsy at least for the first 30-45 mins.

Fair point Yiddo, but I hope you know what I meant. Bobby and Harry need to start - which I hope they will. The 1-1 in front of the 4-4 if you will. Anyway g'night mate.Kane doesn't really play as a striker though. He was tracking runners all the way back to defense and linking up with the midfield. He was pretty much playing the central Bale role under AVB today. I say fuck the chavs, everyone will expect us to lose so hit them hard and go for it with Kane and Soldado. Costa out is a huge plus for us, we just need to stick the boot in on Hazard nice and early get him limping lol

No Diego Costa is a bonus
------------------- Lloris
Naughton - Fazio - Vertonghen - Davies
------Mason - Bentaleb - Dembele
--Kane -------- Soldado --------- Eriksen
Costa is a lucky bitch. Fazio has already exhibited a distinct lack of fucks when it comes to red cards. Would've definitely done the cunt had he not got this "injury".
