ffs nil 1 arse

Aubameyang

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Arse has an embarrasement of riches up front. Either one of Laca or Auba would take our team to a whole new level

[Vesper 27,283]

we are so fucked as all the teams we are chasing save Manure have world class strikers

[Johnnyeye 7,405]

the difference between us and Arse, they have proper strikers while we have 2 sticks up front

[Vesper 27,283]

what also kills me is that all these other teams play youth a lot

we play ours for shit, to point where most leave

[lucio 5,371]

arsenal winning already.. Hopefully this is our last game tonight with dysfunctional attacking players, and we can get in some genuine quality in Jan

if we get quality, a big fucking if

Just sad seeing these clubs we've laughed at and made fun of over the past decade or so now completely eclipse us both on and off the pitch. Liverpool and Spuds have been laughing stocks and are now so much better placed going forward. Whether it's the new stadium for Spuds or the massive investment by Liverpool, it just feels like Chelsea are being left behind.

What we do next month in the market will say a lot about our ambitions. If we do nothing but hope shit gets better we'll see Arsenal and even fucking United fly past us in the league.

HUGE if

and

If we do this Higuain swap and he bombs out, we are well and truly fucked.

Hopefully he rolls back the years to 2015–16 level

if we approach the str position like we approached cm in the summer, we will be alright.

Str will make a big difference IMO

It's a whole new team when you got a CONFIDENT striker that will comfortably score 25-30 goals a season. Right now our strikers can't hold on to the fucking ball nevermind finish the chances they get. That makes the all the other players more cautious on the ball and force them to keep passing sideways

i'm not sure, I haven't watched him since his real madrid days. I think he will be a lot more clinical than morata or giroud though, I don't see him consistently missing easy chances like morata

true, giroud loses the ball more often than not. they then pass sideways to willian or alonso and it all breaks down

he is in a huge slump atm, looks for shit

hasn't scored since October

12 straight games no goals

only 5 league goals all year

I am super worried he will bomb out
