E no easy bros, me self I never get peace of mind. That Psg team na devil!

forgiveness:
No sane coach will bench Enzo in this kind of match.

Person wey fit do magic with one pass or score unexpectedly.

Enzo5:
some are removing either of the three but all three need to start

Griffon:
I don over reason am, e no gree me.

Na so I run come to suggest Santos starting, you can never tell if Maresca visits this thread

swiz123:
You are wasting your time. Maresca’s football philosophy has always been controlling possession by inverting full backs to offer more bodies in the middle. I wonder why you think he will suddenly change today because we are playing world club cup final.

Instead of focusing on us pressing aggressively and rattle PSG defence and midfield and cut passing lanes to the width.

lordfalcao:
Since Friday to now, una don plot 500 formations

Emaprince:
The boys are confident.

I wonder what people are scared of.

This is a final - a one off game...and PSG will be foolish to run into it to walk us over. They will be well punished!!

We are bringing the trophy home.

Thecassanova:
I’d start

Sanchez

James - Colwil - Tosin - Cucurella

Caicedo - Santos/Lavia

Palmer

Npedro - Jpedro - Jackson

Jackson npedro assisting James cucu & pressing high up. Solid midfield with a solid palmer & pacey wingers for counter attacks & JPedro as 9. Long aerial balls from Sanchez towards jp or Jackson in wings. We should not try playing from the back at all. Replace Jackson with Madueke if available.

This game is a great test for Maresca.

Skimpledawg:
I think am too senior man.

But, Maresca can just make us go mad by starting James in midfield.

I cannot can.

@Nateevs pls take this to Maresca.

nateevs:
While this is largely true that he's played with inverted FBs, it is not true that he hasn't done anything different for other games.

For instance, at least two games in the CWC, instead of an inverting FB, he's experimented with a full-on attacking FB providing the width. This allows him to play with an unconventional RWF/LWF like Palmer, who then tucks in to do AM duties along with their WF duties where necessary.

That extra body required for midfield overload in an inverting FB is then created by what is now the less advancing no 8. He uses Enzo for this.

It's complex to explain without a tactic board, but if you've seen what I am explaining, you can see it unfold. And he has to do this, because he knows that he needs to develop solutions for when we play the likes of PSG.

Contrary to the general belief on here. I think he's actual a smart tactical manager. Inexperienced, but smart.

Griffon:
Then the positional indisciplined Gusto starts against Kvara and Doue?

Mbanu!

swiz123:
My point to popi is that he overloads the midfield in order to provide passing options and control possession. Popi wants us to be booting the ball long.

Whizlight:
Today will mark the birth of a new generation at Chelsea, led by Italian Enzo Maresca, if the team succeeds in earning everyone's respect with its performance.

◾353 days ago Chelsea took on Wrexham in Maresca’s first game in charge, that ended 2-2.

◾328 days ago Chelsea lost 2-0 at home to Man City.

◾324 days ago Chelsea were booed off at home at HT in a 2-0 win over Servette in UECL qualifiers.

◾45 days ago Chelsea secured UCL & won the UECL in Wroclaw.

◾After 354 days Chelsea season ends tomorrow. It could end being World Champions or it could end with a visual sign of progression.

Not a single person predicted this 12 months ago that Chelsea be facing the European Champions. 💙👊

Samueltemi337:
Which home?
You guys will be lucky to lose by 2 goals

Trevor012:
Just say you are jealous no one is afraid of your Barcelona like Psg. Nor dey disguise

Ihebu4chelsea:
I have been enjoying this new version of Andrew, you now discuss football without sentiment recently, Kudos!

andrewbaba44:
True true na brace man him be

airmark:
Hater.

Meanwhile look at this PSG press, fast attackers will get their chances. Long accurate passes will be crucial.

Trevor012:
You literally qualified for the competition since 2021. Stop all these capping. Psg will still flog you today.

Ihebu4chelsea:
with the way things are going, when do you think Man utd will qualify for this competition? Maybe 3035

Trevor012:
The worst are those Chelsea fans giving themselves false hope. Better accept reality and relax. You will lose even if Jesus Christ plays for you .

Enzo5:
PSG defence is something else, compared to ours and our gk
