Ziyech?

Still wondering what Saul was brought in for. Seems like a waste of a spot tbh.

Cobham lads doing the business. Probably the best we've played this season.

I really hope he wasn't, as I thought those days were behind us.

Mourinho suffering his worst defeat and our "C side" beating Tottenham. I guess it won't be a walk in the park for them after all, @NikkiCFC ? 😁

If we go in with that three, we aren't beating Norwich. Pace is a must.

Exactly. He won't get a better chance to prove himself in the position he wants to play.

We need a convincing win. Hope our front two find their scoring touch.

I've been singing his praises since he was playing in Belgium and hoped we'd sign him before he joined Napoli. Just a shame that we probably won't be in the market for a CF any time soon.

I'd be quite surprised to see Lukaku dropped. Also, if anything, this double header should be the perfect chance for him to find some form.

Not at all. He effectively had an extra week off, so fatigue shouldn't even come into play. Tuchel was just trying to deflect from his poor performance. Will be interesting to see what Lukaku & co do against one of the worst sides in this season's CL.

😄 There isn't on this occasion.

If his distribution was better, he'd have no comparison.

Tuchel trying to say the right things.

We were fortunate to get anything from the game based off that second half showing. Mendy with some performance. https://twitter.com/NizaarKinsella/status/1449431657744945157?s=20 Seems like deja vu again. Tuchel needs to find a solution that will get the most out of our attacking options before reality sets in.

We've been rather solid and have a deserved lead. Kovacic needs to improve his final ball in the second half.

They play us on 1st Jan and Palace & Leicester during that period. However, I expect Liverpool to ask for their respective confederations to keep them till after they play us.

I'm pleased with the XI. Surprised to see Sarr start, but I'd rather that than Cho at RWB again.

Gilmour starting on the bench for Norwich. Looking like another bad loan move for a number of reasons. The fact Salah has probably taken his game to the next level is a big factor. I think how they cope during the AFCON will be telling (potentially four games depending on how well either nation does).

Werner should start alongside Lukaku.

Watford might as well not have taken the field today.

Hope he starts today

They still can't kill off games, so nothing has changed.

Tuchel recently said him and the board made a lot of effort to keep him, but he decided to move on. Can't blame him on recent events & potentially being on the verge of the England squad. The big issue I have is, we went for Hakimi when we already had someone as well-rounded in our academy.

We'll have to hope, as I don't believe this will be Lukaku's only dry spell.
