Chelsea must beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon to ensure Champions League qualification for subsequent season no matter different outcomes (until Villa win by double figures).
It’s an enormous sport and can as soon as once more be handled like a cup last by Enzo Maresca and the gamers, however it’ll even be handled as one by Forest and their formidable and demanding proprietor.
I consider we want all of our greatest gamers and large sport gamers on the pitch collectively on the identical time, beginning the sport. I additionally consider we want gamers on the pitch who’re the distinction makers and who can get a purpose from nothing.
No beginning Xl for Sunday goes to be supreme as a result of we’re with out a striker. Marc Guiu has been again in coaching however has not performed for 3 months. Maybe he will help late on off the bench on the most, however I don’t suppose he’s prepared to start out. If he’s, then begin him, as a result of his vitality and urgent from the entrance can be an enormous assist as will having an precise striker reasonably than a false 9.
But when he isn’t, then I’d go together with Cole Palmer because the false 9 purely so I can get Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Reece James all beginning the sport collectively. I don’t need to see any of our most vital and greatest gamers on the bench.
Lavia can sit and management, Caicedo can play near him as a box-to-box and have extra attacking and dribbling freedom, and Fernandez can play make as the opposite box-to-box creator.
If Maresca desires to invert a full again then invert Marc Cucurella, however I’d personally go together with the ‘old style’ 4-3-3. It’s easy, to make sure, now we have to win, so now we have to go for it.
I’m not saying go all out attacking, however our defence has been much more strong recently so we must always have the arrogance to take the sport to Forest.
That is what I wish to see, however I do know Maresca wont choose this. Properly, I’d be pleasantly shocked if he does.
As I stated, no formation is right with out an precise striker, however this formation and beginning Xl for me would enable us to manage the sport in one of the simplest ways and have our greatest and most threatening gamers on the pitch. The place do the objectives come from? Come on! Cucurella clearly!
For me, you simply can not justify having both James or Lavia on the bench within the greatest sport of our season. So if now we have to shoehorn a participant or two simply to get all of them on the pitch collectively, then so be it.
I’m additionally beginning Tosin purely to take care of Chris Wooden within the air. Tosin was excellent in our final sport and handled the presence of Hojlund properly. Wooden is a unique ball sport altogether however Tosin is an enormous man. It’s harsh on Trevoh Chalobah as a result of he’s additionally been good and sure, I did say I don’t suppose you have to be dropping gamers who’ve been excellent. However I additionally suppose Chalobah is most certainly to be offered greater than Tosin in order that might be a distraction, who is aware of…
Forest are having some off subject issues too and I truthfully suppose they’ve been actually dangerous recently. They’re there for the taking if we flip up and never only for 45 minutes like we regularly do, however for the total 90. The one factor that considerations me actually is our horrible away file this season and the house followers can be in full swing like at Newcastle, and this made our gamers very timid. We can not come out like that this time.
I so fancy us for the win I actually do. It’s going to be removed from simple however we are able to definitely discover objectives towards this Forest aspect in poor type.
Let’s go!!! I’m buzzing!!
