Kane making a statement against City. Nice to have a CF that does something.

Ziyech will have to do till the summer.

We did it for quite some time with Hazard.

Big goal! It was only going to be him.

Try to play Lukaku in again, and we might have more joy.

I guess this is going to be ruled out...

Six defensive-minded players & two of our front four are out of position, so it shouldn't be surprising.

Tuchel has this thing where he likes to go against the norm and put players out of position.

Pulisic at AM is horrid. Need to take him off & move Havertz into that position.

You know what you're getting with him, so either play to his strengths or leave him on the bench. We can't keep going on about the same things almost three quarters into the season. Having two wide men that can't outrun their man is another stupid choice. Either swap Havertz and Pulisic around or bring on Kenedy.

Aside from Ziyech, we've had no attacking threat. I could single out Lukaku, but he's had no service at all.

Opposition shouldn't matter at this point. Look at how we played against Plymouth. I'm worried that our team is more defensive-minded than anything. Hopefully, Pulisic will do his thing against his favourite opponents.

Ronaldo has previous, though. Messi has missed countless PK's when it matters. His issues with Giroud not so long ago would lead me to think otherwise.

No idea how he's their first choice taker. Seems solely based on reputation/status.

Newcastle are supposedly after Leao too. They could be an issue for top teams sooner than most expected.

I'm not sure how I'm coming across, but despite the latter lacking in terms of finishing, I want the same thing. Money could be better spent elsewhere. High pressing for starters. Tuchel has two windows proper windows since joining & look who we signed. Hakimi would have fitted like a glove & would have added depth in a position/positions that have effectively cost us this season, in the league at least. I do agree that Tuchel has poorly utilised some of our players (something I've previously discussed) and needlessly playing them out of position to our detriment. It's something a number of players have started to bring up as well. On the topic of Haaland, if we push for him again, what's happening with Lukaku to facilitate such a move?

What do City have to do with us? Our issues are poor scouting & having players that aren't catered to our style. Having played 14 more games... 🙄

We need goals, though. Getting a Raphinha in the door won't address that IMO & consistent goal getters from out wide are few & far between. Have you actually watched him play regularly in the last three years, as you couldn't be further off the mark with "subpar".

You have to wonder what they are working on defensively in training, as they seem nailed on to concede from one every match.

Leicester & set pieces - name a more iconic duo.

If you are talking about incomings, we should be done chasing Haaland. I'd rather we save the hassle of him/Raiola & go after Osimhen (someone I've been raving about for long enough).

He hasn't won the Community Shield, but it isn't anything of note anyway.

I should have probably pointed out corners specifically. We've been dire for a number of weeks, 20 corners against Plymouth being the most recent example.

I have this odd feeling he'll be sold to Southampton along with a buy-back clause. This would only make sense if a deal for a first team CF is lined up & we all get our wish where a certain someone is concerned.

We need more from set pieces after recent matches. 20+ corners & not even troubling keepers.
