Team for Chelsea...

[ClintEastwould]

Our biggest game of the season so far.

I would like to control this game a bit more than what we have done under Mourinho and not play simply on the counter attack but I really don’t think that’ll happen. Even if Ndombele is fit I don’t see Jose trusting him to protect our defense and so I fully expect Dier and Sissoko regardless of who’s fit.

Mourinho's initial team had Winks starting. So, don't be surprised if Winks starts ahead of Sissoko, if he is cleared to play

Can you elaborate please.

Can you elaborate please.

Mourinho’s first game in charge the midfield was Winks and Dier. Sissoko in the bench.

 

[nicdic]

First full clear week of training for Mourinho. Lots at stake on the game next Sunday. You would expect there will be minimal changes, but hopefully an improvement in our tactical play.

 

[Kiedis]

Guess Winks in for Lucas with Sissoko at right wing. We need one decent passer for this game, even if we want to play direct. Hoofing it wont suffice here.

 

[wpmcg]

You would honestly rather see Skipp? Based off what?

Yes, he seems to get better the less he plays.?

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Gazza

Aurier Sanchez Toby Jan

Dier Sissoko

Lucas Dele Son

Kane

Team picks itself at this point.

 

[Japhet]

Rinse and repeat I'd imagine.

Moura has stated that he was really tired after the wolves game . It may be time to give him a rest .

I imagine they were all tired. They did a lot of chasing shadows/the ball. A full week off and they'll all be good to go though, you'd think.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Possibly the only change would be if Jose was desperate to get Winks back into the starting lineup and you could see him and Dier in the middle with Sissoko on the right in place of Moura, that would be the more defensive move, having said that I cant see anything different from the Wolves game.

Lol at anyone that thinks Ndombele will start. He could do with losing his Nfatbelly first.

 

[JKendall13]

There will definitely be goals. Chelsea has been leakier at the back than even us this season. Only Arsenal have given up more goals than Chelsea in the top 12 of the Premier League.

Can't see Mourinho going away from our current set team, especially with a week to train them up.

 

[Giovanni]

Dier and sissoko defended quite admirably at wolves in cm. They knew that their opposite numbers were better on the ball than them but they battled hard and gave there all.
Having said that i dont want to see us use that combination going forwards IF it can be helped. I want to be on the front foot at home to chelsea not chasing around on the back foot. Kante will be all over them both and we will struggle to get a foothold in the game.

 

[CornerPinDreamer]

vs Wolves. We were consistently outplayed, outnumbered in the center. The mentality is what saved us and all credit to Jose and the team.

We have to change the setup in some way or we'll get overrun again.

 

[Jenko]

Dier has to play. He loves Chelsea.

Think we'll see this and Aurier having the freedom to play as a RW with Sissoko covering the RB position.

 

[SpursAddict]

Jose might contemplate making 2 changes, Foyth for Sanchez and Winks/Ndombele for Sissoko. The rest of the team surely remains the same.

I firmly believe Jose considers Sanchez undroppable atm. I see a big change in him and think Jose has promised to develop him into something special. He didn't have a great game Sunday but he is better than he was under Poch and seems to play with more passion.

No way Jose will drop Sanchez and he would be mad to do so
