Your team v Chelsea

[Nineteenx]

HAS to be 433 and as many Klopp players as possible who know how to play to our players strengths

Ali and Ekintike likely out sadly

Mamardashvili

Bradley Konate Van Dijk Robertson

Szoboslai Gravenberch Mac Allister

Salah Isak Chiesa

Get the team working to its highest levels again through familiarity of formation and personnel and the variation

Mix the passing up, have plenty of variation, use the switches, use the long to medium diagonals play in to Mo and Chiesa a bit longer with their full back or midfielder quickly supporting them to move us forward far quicker and give us that intensity cut and thrust and ability to rapidly create chances out of nowhere back again

The midfield three far better for the pressing gave and to protect our backing and make thrn easily able to see what’s coming the cohesive uniformed organised structures lightning quick pressing rapidly applied always

Don’t write the new lads off, let them sit and Hearn where they can fit in where they can improve and bring thrn in more gradually into a team that’s very highly functioning again.

Well surely that's the only team? Don't think bradley should start- but neither should frimpong, someone has to start I guess.

Now don't be thinking Chiesa starts. cause he can't even in get a champions league match squad.

Posted an article in the matchthread that with Chiesa, Slot was unsure if we could add Chiesa to the CL matchday squad for Leoni - as he is out for more than 2 months with a hig injury.

Anyway my 11, Frimpong for Trent & Isak for Diaz. Not sure if Alisson was precautionary or more serious.

Alisson/Giorgi?
Frimpong Konate VVD Robbo
Grav MacA
Salah Sobozla Gakpo
Isak

Subs: Giorgi/Woodman?, Gomez, Bradley, Kerkez, Endo, Jones, Wirtz, Ekitike & Rio.

Tricky one this… and I have no clue what he will go with.

It’s strange because last season - out of his natural position - due to the fact we failed to land Zubimendi - he (Grav) was a revelation at DM and BOY did we RINSE it. Now Slot seems to have confused things a little. Grav seems caught between the 6 and the 8… Macca looks have asleep - bizarrely - as though he needs a pre season..? Then there’s Wirtz ..? And Dom in at RB…)&”£&%#*!?

One thing is for certain - Chelsea won’t have a clue what we are planning.

I doubt he will go in with Dom at RB. You can't play Jones in the middle. hes not up to it.. I think we'll start with the traditional 3 of Grav Macca and Dom. You can bring on Jones later on when Macca tires.. we'll probably start with Bradley and have Frimpong replace Salah if hes being slack again..

[Steveo]

Back to as many of the players from last season as possible is likely but he might double down

[miller0863]

Chelsea’s strength is their midfield. I know that you know that, so let’s hope Arne doesn’t ignore what he knows about the opposition this week, like he did last week.

Strongest available midfield please.

It’s crazy when you think that we spent all that money and didn’t bring someone in to offer competition there , move Endo on for a nominal fee , get rid of jones and bring another midfielder in who can play naturally deep . It’s a huge oversight, imagine the stability a good dm and Marc guehi would provide to this side , I can see them buying another cb in January and going for guehi on a free next year
