I must admit when everyone's fit I really like the look of our squad for next season.

---------------------------Kepa---------------------------
Azpi/James--rudiger/Zouma-Christensen/Luiz------Emerson/Alonso
-----------------Kante-------Jorginho/kovacic-------------------
Pedro/CHO-----------RLC/Mount----------------Pulisic/willian
--------------------------Abraham/Giroud-------------------------

dont think Bats is gonna make it i think giroud will start with Tammy as back up, but we are playing ok football in segments and bad in others. mount not as good today but still ok Barkley did really well when he came on. Some good keeping from Kepa.Thought Alonso looked better of the two left backs. Tammy showed a good head for the goal but wasted a few chances as did Kenedy, but Kenedy is getting in great positions so far and is a very direct asset to have. We are still missing Kante and willian, will be interesting to see Willian as a nr.10.
Good showing from Pulisic today also some quite mazy runs from him in the first half.

I think we'll start the season with:

Kepa
Azpi Chris Luiz Emerson
Jorginho Kovacic
Pedro Mount Pulisic
Giroud

Willian and Kante to be eased in. Rudiger and Cho hopefully return in September.

Pulisic x 11

soccer?lol.

iVE put Pusilic & Tammy in FF...

Your lineup looks about right. Giroud hasn't start a pre-season match yet, safe to say he wont be starting the season opener.


Ideally 1st choice team ends up being (until the new year):

Kepa 
RJ AC Luiz Emerson
Kante Mount Jorginho
Cal Tammy Puli

Half youth, half experience.
Cal & Puli interchanging positions.

I'm not fussed whoever starts between Jorginho & Kovacic.

Kovacic no longer bind to Sarri's rigid restrictive patterns could be a joy to watch, on a consistent basis.
