TACTICS (145 words)
We're basically a copy of the real life Chelsea team. Looking to be solid at the back to counter the pace of Otavio, Gray and Bernadeschi, making sure that they have no space to get in behind. I want us to stand off, not chasing down the lost causes higher up. Hold our shape and wait for them.

Going forward, Lingard and Redmond are in free roles behind Defoe, look to run with the ball and find space both in between their defense and midfield, and in behind. Defoe is to lead the line and be clinical in front of goal. The full backs must get forward to provide width, and Cyprien should also push forward.

If winning - Khazri for Lingard, fresh legs.
If losing - Khazri and Borini for Sarr and McNair, move to a 4-4-2 diamond with Borini upfront and Redmond AM.

Tactics:
Sit deeper and limit space behind back four. Counter attacking style to utilize passing of Defour and Huddlestone, and pace up front

FBs to pick up wingers – sit tight and keep them wide
Ward stay back, make back three when attacking

Defour and Hiddlestone sit back, protect back four, pick passes, act as the link between attack and defence to launch quick counter.
Bernardeschi attack LB, coming inside creating space for Klostermann
Otavio to attack full back, go inside and out
Vokes – target man. On the end of crosses, hold up the ball and bring support players into play.
Gray – play in and around Vokes, picking up the second ball. Try and get in behind the defence.

VS

HULL

Jakupovic
Henrichs---Davies---Dawson---Stafylidis
Keita---Kimmich
Mor---Pulisic---Sabitzer
Dembele

We want to play a high pressure game on them, niggle them early on and keep them encamped in their own half. If the opposition attempt to counter-attack then feel free to do intelligent fouling to hold up play.  Fast one touch football from ourselves, pass and move having them chase shadows. Dembele to poach, drift offside to keep their defence deep giving space to Pulisic who's given remit to shoot from distance.
Our defenders keep it simple, isolate the striker and force wingers onto bad foot. Midfield pairing to spread the ball out quickly to the wing men. Double up on the wings both offensively and defensively.

Set pieces: Pulisic
Subs: Isak & Snodgrass for Dembele & Mor 75m

Good game Nando, thought my luck would come to an end and well deserved victory.

Completely agree that my midfield isn't good enough, Romeu and Gueye hopefully improve it.

Good game Afro

Cheers Trebs. When I saw our tactics were quite similar, I was thinking it could go either way, so more than pleased to get a win from it.

Gueye has looked brilliant for us so far this season, so should make a huge difference.
