I agree with that line up apart from I think we will see Tosin alongside Colwill.

Plus it's a must win big game so I expect Maresca will bench Reece James LOL

Unless Maresca starts using the overlap more, I think we and Palmer will struggle out on the right. He does not have the pace to beat his man.

I’m with you apart from one change - Tosin over Chalobah for me. Just think he’s in slightly better form like his leadership.

The only positive we have is that Jackson isn’t available to destroy our creativity.

Pointless having Palmer out on the right if you’re going to invert James instead of overlap him.

Can see this being a 2-0 Benfica win.

Come on you blues!!

Why is DAZN so fecking slow to load up ?

Looks like Channel 5 ain't showing it, so I'm stuck looking at a little disk turning around. I 'm scared to even look at it in case it doesn't like the look of me.

Here we go , clicked to accept cookies, now it's having a nap FFS.

Jesus Christ. DAZN is fecking useless, Now the Log in Page is frozen. I'm glad I haven't paid for this dog sh*te site.

Can’t wait to see that midfield three and Palmer back on the right.

 

[Caps_Lock_King]

lets hope Palmer is on the right, who knows with Maresca

Can’t wait to see that midfield three and Palmer back on the right.

Watch as Caicedo ends up playing RB and James moves into midfield with Palmer on the right with no overlapping fullback.....
