Anything they can do to make us look bad they're there, never miss a trick. On 29/11/2020 at 9:30 PM, paulw66 said: Yes, a small portion will be paying 40 quid. The others 75 It's absurd money for what is effectively a massively diluted product so, read up on this on the website. Of the non hospitality tickets going, 20% are in the shed at £40 and 80% in the West Lower at £75 Am glad not applying in the ballot doesn't affect my ST holder status / rights in future.

I think Frank has no choice but to start Giroud after that masterclass against Sevilla. On the Giroud debate, we can all agree he deserves to start. His hold up and link up play is the best we have and right now his finishing is on fire. The one thing he can't do is run very fast, and I think this causes Frank a headache as he wants to play a high pressing game. Last night, he had pace either side in CHO and Pulisic, so it's not so problematic. Ziyech isn't the quickest either, so I am not sure Frank will want to start with 2 out of the front 3 as players who aren't quick. If Giroud plays, I think it puts Ziyech's place in doubt. I might be wrong, but that is how I see it. Edit - would be very surprised to see Pulisic start 2 games in 4 days after the injuries he has had. Think he will treated with kid gloves Edited December 3, 2020 by paulw66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But boy would it be harsh on Giroud if he was not starting... If you are right above, starting Giroud would then mean a front three of; Werner - Giroud - Hudson-Odoi Also, Ziyech hasn't exactly been awesome for the past couple of games and Pulisic isn't fit enough to start two games in four days.

Bridge Soldier Report post Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) I think it'll be Ziyech-Giroud-Werner as well which I'd be happy with. Mount, Kanté and the first choice back four returning obviously. Then the only other decision is Kovacic or Havertz. I would be fine with either choice. Kovacic had a good game yesterday.

My Blood Is Blue Report post Posted December 3, 2020 Giroud has to start, I don't see how Frank could not, if Tammy had been banging them in week in, week out then maybe you could make the argument for him coming back in, but that sadly isn't the case at the moment. The annoying thing is, I was expecting (and Frank probably to) that Werner would be coming back in as the main striker on Saturday. The question is then who either side of Giroud and whether Kovacic or Havertz plays... personally, I'd go for Kovacic as he's in good form and Havertz still hasn't quite got going yet. Mendy James - Zouma - Silva - Chilwell Kovacic - Kante - Mount Ziyech - Giroud - Werner Subs: Kepa, Azpi, Rudiger, Havertz, CHO, Pulisic, Tammy Won't be an easy game this one, but with a sprinkling of fans in the ground, I expect the players to be very much up for this.

Droy was my hero Report post Posted December 3, 2020 20 minutes ago, My Blood Is Blue said: Giroud has to start, I don't see how Frank could not, Giroud came off only on 84 mins, just after spoiling the perfect hattrick with a penalty. Kovacic and Havertz who may be competing for a place in the game came off after 67mins. It doesn't seem Frank was considering Giroud till then. Rather it looks like Tammy and Werner are lined up to play together again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
