I don’t even want to talk or think about this turnout- just want the day to come go and be over and spurs beat the cunts. I’m predicting nothing - same as Islington- we always fuck up!

Less worried now to be honest.

Chelsea aren't even as good as Salzburg, let alone Leipzig.

Start Ndombele and Lo Celso in the same midfield. Even if we have to sub Ndombele off after 60 minutes. Please.

Problem is with the shortage of forwards Lo Celso needs to be played as an AM rather than a CM, and after the last couple of months performances, looks like we'll be lucky to get more than 45 minutes out of Ndombele (came on after 64 mins - so less than 30 minutes today)

Some of the forwards such as Bergwijn and Moura looked pretty knackered, so Lamela to start with Moura (and maybe Sessegnon) on bench to sub whoever looks most knackered

Lloris
Aurier, Alderweireld, Suarez, Tanganga
Winks Ndombele (assume sub after 45 mins - Skipp or Gedson)
Lamela Lo Celso Bergewijn
Dele
Subs : Gazzanigga, Vertonghen, Dier, Skipp, Gedson, Moura, Sessegnon
Good news is we have a week off after this game for players to recover

Dele needs to be dropped - Id genuinely play Lamela, Bergwijn and Lucas as a free flowing hard working front three.

Ndombele, Winks and Lo Celso behind them.

Even playing those 3 up front, and with Bergwijn and Moura looking knackered this evening, I think you will find Dele and maybe Sessegnon on in the 2nd half for them.

My assessment of Ndomebele's ability to last more than 45 minutes doesn't change, so only question is who comes on for him probably after 45 mins - Gedson who on his debut was probably the least influential player this evening, Dier with all the flaws we know or Skipp who has hardly played this season. No easy choices ?
