Worried about Jorgi

Just like Kante against Arsenal. Joke defending

I guess Tuchel thought his pace would be useful & on the back of a goal too. Clearly not the right decision in hindsight.

I'd take Werner off. If he isn't in the box when needed, what's the point of him playing?

Last time I saw him play (against Scotland), he was far from great. Also, if it ain't broken..

Nice to see we don't have certain starters anymore tbh. You continue to play well, you keep your place.

Hudson-Odoi & Ziyech retain their places whilst Werner leads the line. Pleased with that front three.

I know. You just singled out Sarri for that reason but not the latter.

This variant is meant to be more transmissible, so we have to hope the above doesn't come to fruition.

I have a feeling they'll be on the end of another hiding, or it will end similarly to our match against Burnley.

Didn't Pirlo? They snuck into the CL thanks to Napoli choking on the last day of the season, IIRC.

It wouldn't be surprising (Arab Cup is taking place in a matter of days). They postponed it early this year, so the changes of them doing it again will be very slim unless things get drastically worse in the next month.

Who should they take places from in that case? Qualification in CAF is already a joke and has gotten worse. I believe there should be more intercontinental playoffs; we would see who really deserves to be there rather than "names" being more worthy than others. Saying that, we'll have 48 teams in 2026 🙄

Why is signing Chiesa unrealistic? A number of reports circulating that we are going to make a big offer for him & the uncertainty around his situation should work in our favour.

They were top of our group prior to kick-off, so they haven't faired too bad in Europe.

You could use a number of superlatives to describe that performance. Almost perfect & that was without three of our main attackers. We are playing some of the best football I've seen at the club in my lifetime, with everyone chipping in, especially upfront. Top spot in our hands now.

Our best performance of the season. Perfect way to start the weekend & set the pace.

I'm surprised we've been so dominate. 3-0 is extremely flattering to Leicester.

As I stated previously, money talks.

Agreed. The generalisation is something I was getting at; judge each player on their own merit. I think that has become an issue in the last decade or so. I guess the overall lack of quality has a lot to do with that.

What about Suarez? I'm sure there's a few others as well.

van Dijk? Might have played in Scotland for a bit, but I wouldn't say the league is any better than the Eredivisie.

It was the latter, surprisingly.

I'm sure that will come tomorrow morning

In terms of transfer fees, but they will want excessive signing-on fees, not to mention big wages (Alaba is earning £400k+).
