Team v Aston Villa

[journeyman]

Got two wrong v Brentford… Perisic, who I was pleased to see included… and Tanganga, who… well, not so much.

It should be a stronger XI for this one:

—————————Lloris
————Romero—Dier—Lenglet
Doherty—Hojbjerg—Bentancur—Perisic
————Kulusevski—Kane—Son

Fingers crossed that Romero and Bentancur’s fitness make that (pretty much full strength) lineup possible. And lads, let’s win the first half too, please, for once!

 

[PrettyColors]

Lloris

Romero
Dier
Lenglet

Spence
Perisic

Benta
Hojbjerg

Kulu
Kane
Son

#12 doesn’t make the bench.

 

[Flobadob]

It’s obvious what it’s going to be, I just hope Spence is on the bench because he did well in the friendlies and Conte’s had over a month to work with him 1 on 1 to coach him. He really should be in a position to start getting more meaningful minutes now. Hoping he was omitted last game due to the illness he had beforehand

Persic wasn't in the pre match formation, he didn't train at all..
Hats off to him, he was desperate to play, and Antonio threw him on the day of the game.

Is Romero definitely left the party in Argentina
Really hope so and Bentacur fit
Need good run before tricky fixtures come along

 

[michaelj70]

***Has Romero

 

[AJW]

Bentacur confirmed as out of the game. Needs another scan to confirm what’s going on. Blurgh

 

[journeyman]

Bad news that Bentancur out for what sounds like a while yet… is this why so many transfer links to a CM? Either way, it’s Bissouma’s big chance in coming games now.

Sounds like Romero fine & will start.

 

[cjbyid]

We have such rotten look with injuries.

He's in the form of his life too

MRI scan doesn't sound good, hopefully it's not too long out

Our medical team are honestly ridiculous ??‍ Sounds like Conte has had enough of them too.

And the need for another midfielder becomes clear....
Hopefully he won't be out for long, but that's not sounding good

 

[ukdy]

I'd like Lloris and Cuti back please.

Hugo

Cuti
Dier
Davies

Doc
Ivan

Biss
PEH
Kulu

Kane
Son

 

[H-SF]

Lloris
Doherty
Romero
Dier
Davies
Perisic
PMS/Skipp
Hojbjerg
Kulusevski
Kane
Son

As good as Bentancur is, it's not as pressing as last year now we've got Bissouma and Skipp back from injury. At least Harry Winks isn't the backup...

 

[WiganSpur]

Lloris
Romero Dier Lenglet
Spence ------------ Perisic
Bissouma ---- PEH
Kulusevski ------------- Son
Kane
​

Forster, Davies, Sanchez, Sessegnon, Doherty, Skipp, White, Lucas, Bryan

 

[Joshua shepherd]

Would like to see Dier dropped from this one if Romero is back. Stick Lenglet ccb and play Davies on the left. Poor form can’t always go unpunished.

Called it first. lol

You can WTF this one as well if you want @Joshua shepherd. Cheers.

Didn’t realise this was the guess the Paul O’Keefe predicted lineup mate.

You get a wtf because it doesn’t make sense to drop Lenglet, I’ll drop Conte the same message if he does but I highly doubt it.

It was also PoK's lineup after I suggested it first. ? Not dropping Lenglet, rotating!!
