Think we have another behind close doors friendly this weekend before this. Mendy Dave---Christensen---Rudiger CHO----Kante---Kovacic----Alonso Ziyech----Werner Havertz
Could see Zouma starting ahead of Christensen but probably not far off how we’ll line up for this one. I’m sure Lukaku would have loved to be here for that game to make up for his penalty miss all those years ago but I’m happy enough with the team available.
Pau Torres is actually in the squad. Just saw Pedri was also at Barcelona as well. These two, without any exaggeration, had no holiday.
Poor management of Pedri in my opinion. I know the player is keen to get back right away but the club should be making sure he rests properly because he’s played non stop for a while now.
60+ games for Club. Played in the Euros. Made it to the final in the Olympics. Went straight to join the Barcelona 1st team 4 days later. MENTAL.
Lucky to not go into halftime level. Chalobah’s inexperience allowing Villarreal ease of access on that left side.
As Gal P said, looking like he’s going out on loan but clearly Tuchel is a huge fan and think he will play a big part for us. This season probably too soon for him.
