When: New Year's Day, 7:30 EST Watch: NBCSN, BT SPORT Will Lampard start Pulisic? Hopefully. Will we stop using that back 3 finally? Hopefully. Good day of matches in general, I'm not leaving my home.
Pul confirmed he's healthy via TWITTER. Hoping to see Taminho Pul-Mount-Willian kov-kante azp-rud-tomori-we threw the new kind into the fire may as well start him (Lamp) Jorginho's positive work Sunday doesn't erase how central he has been to our terrible run of form. Don't need to see him start.
Love the line-up for a new year Tammy Pul Mount Willian Jorg Kante Az Zouma Rud Reese Kepa Basically what I always want to see except Tomori for Zouma, Kov hard done by but as long as you have him or Willian for the dribble past and take players out of the defense and mid
think I would use Jorg like today for the teams you will have to break down deep and Kov for the tougher teams that play
Tomori hurt? not on bench AC is and Emerson on bench, no Giroud, as one would expect pending his departure soon Willy, Kov, Em, AC Lampty, Bats CHO
Started brightly making good progress down the right and deservedly in front. James shows his strength with a 50:50 header that sees the Brighton player substituted.
think I'd bring in Kov for Mount who is not having a good day with the ball, Pul some very bright moments, still needs to get a bit stronger on ball, especially when the ref allows assault and battery muggings, butshows he should usually start
Rudi with some shaky moments on the ball but man, that guy can shut down a scoring chance. What a defender
Looked away from the TV for a second, and looked back to see Tammy acting like he pooped his pants. Any see what happened there??
Both Puli and Mount off for CHO and Kova. Probably fair! Neither was having a lot of impact on the game.
I've been dumping on Zouma all season, and he still makes me very nervous, but he's been massive in the air today
