asvaberg Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 From what I have heard, ManC haven't taken the full first team squad to the USA. So maybe we can win this 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA96 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 not sure what formation that is with the 4 CMs - maybe a 4222 with enzo/KDH behind mudryk/nkunku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) Regardless of the side Pep puts out we know how they will play,,,it will be interesting to see how Chelsea perform against what is the closest to a "system" they will face in the EPL. I hate Chelsea to lose anything but a progressive defeat showing playerteam integration is far more advantageous in the long run (and the reason for preseason) than a walk to a pointless victory. Added after seeing lineup...glad Gusto is ok... Anyone got a Citeh lineup? Edited August 3 by chara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Liking that line up. Best available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen much of Veiga, Cucurella's been in hot form recently and even Gusto played well there and been inverting from there recently. Wouldn't mind seeing the back of him, maybe Utd will come knocking, they do like an injury prone English LB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboy1905 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Anyone enjoying this new way of playing ?? Two weeks until we play the Champions again. Apparently Connor is surplus to requirements in this new Tikka Takka system. Poundland Pep is a fraud with his myopic system with Championship standard players.

chiswickblue Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Three games against weaker opponents and we see a central striker, 2 wingers and a no.10. First game against top opponents and we get 4 central midfielders, 1 winger and a no.10. Seems familiar this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
