Saint-Maximin is some player. He's someone that would add directness to our team, but the chance of signing him is probably long gone. He couldn't even get into Fulham's team last season as well.

It's generally a popularity contest where these things are concerned, unfortunately. Salah being chosen ahead of Toko Ekambi in the Team of the Tournament is another example of that. Edit - Mendy thought the same thing:

Former Prem boys (Ighalo & Pereira) put Al Hilal ahead.

Giroud showing us what we're missing out on.

A Kalou would even do at this point.

Just about got over the line. We're going to have to improve drastically to have any hope in Qatar.

Kepa!!

How am I not surprised? We were denied a clear PK and they go on to get one.

The Spanish double act. Alonso will now retain his place.

I was just about to say that 😄

It's a regular theme.

Another 30 mins. Last thing we needed.

Not sure how we can have all these corners and not capitalise one at least one. It isn't a one off either.

Three strikers? We need a goal, but I'm not sure about this.

One set piece could be the difference at this rate. We need a second ASAP.

Havertz on is long overdue, just disappointed it isn't in place of Lukaku.

This has to stop at the club. It's held us back for years. Edit: On cue, he misses what seems to be a sitter.

Lukaku seems disinterested. I'd take him out for Havertz & we'd have a much better chance (even against a league 1 side).

Defenders having to bail us out again

Now the post. I really hope it isn't going to be one of those days. Doesn't seem that way. Lukaku just walking around whilst Ziyech is chasing things done. 🙄

It's him against them tbh. No idea what Lukaku & Mount are offering.

CHO in a nutshell. No idea why he just stops his run.

It's just a block with these four. No attacking threat at all.

Weird to see Kenedy back in the team & slightly surprised by Kante's absence.
