I thought given the players missing, Frank set us up well and he clearly got the message to Barkley and Mount as how to play with Giroud. Also, Spurs were so defensive in their set up, we were never going to play expansive. Two excellent goals too.

Same team v Bayern?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel we are more solid defensively in a 3 4 3 and our very slim chances of beating Bayern probably depend on keeping a clean sheet at home. So same formation but not sure if it should be same players.

But it is a horse's for courses formation. Arsenal destroyed us for 30 minutes when we started 3 4 3

Didn't help having Azpi and Emerson as wingbacks.

Fair point. It's RJ and Alonso or don't bother

Think Kepa will play in the cup match, and Frank will make a decision then on whether he has learned his lesson or needs to stay in the reserves.

I still think it's unlikely Chelsea will write of an asset, no matter how dubious you may find its quality, that cost £73m - so I think he will be our GK next season and we just have to hope he gets better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it a case of learning his lesson, or that he actually is nothing special?

11 games left and I think 7 wins are needed for 4th

Well the whole sum won't be written off. If we can get at least £40M for him that could be sufficient to replace him with someone like Onana.

We can lose that after what we got for Oscar

I was amazed kepa didn't play today... I felt sure he'd be back in...I wonder if he's showing poor attitude in training... Got no problem with willy Cab playing on if Frank thinks that's best

Still the most remarkable fee we have rec'd for a player. Maybe only bettered by Morata

Very inflated Chinese prices though

I think six might do it, but your point that it will require superior form to what Chelsea have showcased since Christmas is correct.

I wonder how this City CL dispute will play out. UEFA and CAS will have to be a lot quicker at resolving the issue than they were our transfer ban because it affects other clubs.

With City banned, 5th is a CL spot, but this has to be confirmed by July otherwise it ruins the competition draws and prevents the 5th place team from operating proportionally in the transfer window.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the ban will be overturned

Watched him in the athletico game the other night and have a little chuckle how well we got shot of him
