So injuries aside what would your starting 11 be?
Kepa
James Zouma Rudiger Emerson
Kante RLC
CHO Mount Pulisic
Tammy
Maybe a bit youthful and inexperienced but shouldn't lack enthusiasm or hunger, something we've always seemed to struggle with. Definitely missing a Drogba/ Costa type up top.

Replace Emerson with Dave, replace aMount with Barkley.
09 Aug 2019 15:27:38
Swap CHO and Pulisic and I won't argue.
09 Aug 2019 16:58:17
Replace Emerson with Dave 🤨🤣.

If everyone was fit I won't Reece James at right back for this game against Manchester United. I will gradually ease him into the team as the season progresses (esp with matches from other cup games) . I will also not play Loftus cheek as a double pivot with Kante, I would rather play him behind the striker; Xouma and Rudiger starts in Central defence for me; Tammy Abraham starts as my point man.

Obviously there would need to be adjustments when playing top sides but for general games against teams outside the top 6 I’d go for:
Kepa
James Rudiger/ Zouma Christiansen Emerson
Kante Jorginho
Pulisic. Mount/ Barkley CHO
Abraham
I think it’s a bit too early to tell who will play better out of Mount/ Barkley and Rudiger/ Zouma. Also feel a Rudiger and Zouma partnership doesn't have the passing ability required for the lower end teams.
10 Aug 2019 11:39:31
Kepa; Dave, Zouma, Rudiger, Emerson; Kovacic, Kante; Pulisic, RLC, CHO; Giroud.
