Having seen us so far I’m fully expecting us to sit in a mid-block and press from that base. I just hope we press and are aggressive.

Big test for Romero today, Lukaku can roll him if he tries to step in front, Dier needs to be ready for this.

Would be interesting to know how he did against him last year in Italy
Genuine question. How did Romero cope last season against lukaku? Does anyone know?

Hopefully the plan is for Rom to engage whilst Eric sweeps up in behind.

As if - when defending deep - we have a shape of:

Dier
PEH / Rom​
 
If it is the diamond, it would seem like an odd tactical choice against Chelsea system wouldn’t it?
Give them the wings and attack from the middle. We will depend alot on Romero and Dier if that happens. But Kane can bully their back 3, for sure.
 
Don’t want to say too much and jinx it, but this isn’t the scariest version of Chelsea in my view. If Alonso didn’t always get a goal against us I’d be feeling even better.
