Bring back Chambers to pair up w/ Sokratis until Holding is ready to come back. Play Luiz instead of Xhaka.

Luiz on the other hand is a PL veteran, and isn't doing anything different from what we saw at Chelsea. He's 32 and unlikely to adapt his style to our needs so I say play to his strengths; replace Xhaka with him.
Chambers OTOH was POTY at Fulham and probably knows this is his last chance to be a starter for a Top 4-level team. I want to believe he'll step up this year.

He's 195 cm. How big is big for you?aniym wrote:The free header was definitely a big mistake. Matip is not a big dude, no way should he have been allowed to get to it first.
