Rob B Report post Posted December 9, 2021 I’d go for something like this I think: Mendy AC. Silva. Rudiger James. Jorginho. Mount. CHO Havertz. Werner. Lukaku Timo and Rom both got goals in the week so why not try and build on that. Kai is also playing well at the moment and we could probably do with Mason’s workrate in midfield. I suspect TT will play Alonso at LWB, but CHO also has a chance at RWB if Jorginho isn’t fit and Reece plays CM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems decent to me with what we've got available, except I worry about CHO in any defensive duties.He seems to bounce off players rather than win the ball.Hopefully we will not need him too much defensively.

We’ll know by the time we play City on 15th Jan whether we’re in the title race or not. One positive is that only 3 out of our next 8 games are outside of London, so travelling is limited.
