sidcow Posted June 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2020 This game is just massive. If we can possibly win this it could change everything. Give us a cushion of 2 teams between us and the zone. I just pray we do this right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Very massive, we'd go up 3 places to 16th, right? Talking of a cushion I think I'll be hiding behind one! :s Not great for the old nerves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the technicality of the extended season delaying his loan to us he will just have to score 4 own goals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddytheVillan Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Not a huge fan of Hause or Konsa, but I am happy to mostly stick with the starting XI v Blades. Steer Konsa Hause Mings Targett McGinn Nakamba Hourihane Samatta Davis Grealish Got to figure out a way to get Davis and Samatta into the same XI - I think this will be vital for our season.

AndyM3000 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I can't see us winning this one, I think they have too much quality and the 5 subs rule is going to help them more. We played a few days ago, the likes of Grealish and McGinn will tire quicker than them and we can't afford to take them off while they can rotate their entire attack. The one weak area they do have is their CBs, I'd be looking to get Davis onto them but we need to get players around him when we do that. I am more concerned about us using too much energy before the Newcastle game, which will be 3 matches in a week. We have to win that and it is winnable.

Farlz Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Can't see us getting anything. I'm already looking to the Newcastle game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted June 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2020 Is Engels out injured? I'd prefer him over Hause at CB. He has an ability to occasionally head a corner on frame and doesn't pass the ball to the opposition at the top of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Engels is still out yes. Probably weeks away from fitness. Freddie returned to training but this might have come to soon for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 My side for this match would be: Nyland Guilbert Konsa Mings Targett McGinn Luiz Nakamba El Ghazi Davis Grealish Subs: Reina, Taylor, Elmohamady, Hause, Trezeguet, Samatta, Jota, Hourihane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips'ngravy Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 This match represents another opportunity to get 3 points which under normal circumstances you wouldn't fancy us at all. I say that based on what we've seen so far in terms of performances from teams since the restart. Games have started slowly and goals in the first halves have been sparse with only 4 coming in 8 matches. We've got that first match out of the way and so should be up to speed more than Chelsea. I think the first 20 minutes will be crucial in determining a positive result for us and coming out of the traps all guns blazing before they have a chance to settle will be key. We need to transfer that extra sharpness into goals early on before Chelsea have time to adapt and use their stronger squad later on in the game. If we're to avoid going down then we have to beat one of the bigger teams at some point. We probably won't have a better chance than today. Oh... and for once... no silly errors please!

Respect your opinion but to me i don't trust Nakamba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Morning all, have to say I have very little belief that we’re going to stay up (lack of goals, clean sheets etc), but a positive result today would give me some hope. We need a win against a top side and being their first game back, perhaps we can catch them cold? He’s hoping for a 1-0 or a 2-1 win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
