One player actually offering something You said midfield and I gave you options. We have 0 reliable options with end product.

I would have understood Lamps decision had he kept the same midfield from last week, but bringing Kante back in against such opposition baffles you.

Dire need shake things up. Lampard actually needs to make a change this week

Keita/Ox

Abraham and Mount in the box together has to arguably be the worst duo around.

All fit - Pulisic

"Starts the press" [emoji849]

Seems like James is the only one that's going to create anything today

I'd probably liked to have seen Barkley keep his place, but I'm pleased with the XI.

I still think it's far too early to put him alongside those youngsters below Mbappe. However, he could bag 20+ going by that defending.

Too many spoke too soon about Southampton [emoji1]

This was something else, though. Just look at Haaland's third.

And Haaland does just that. 20 min hattrick, but the defending has been horrific.

He now had a brace & Dortmund lead 4-3. No doubt he'll get a hat-trick with 20 mins remaining.

Only taken Haaland 3 minutes to score on his Dortmund debut

Looks like Wolves will be on the end of a defeat

Didn't he want Alex Sandro and ended up with Zappacosta? Radja was a different player when we were linked with him to the one Conte ended up with (not to mention personal problems as well). The guy smokes like a chimney & people expect it not to take a toll. None of the clubs he's been at have had the pulling power or funds do wrap things up, so these failures being 2nd/3rd choices can't solely lie with him. Can't think of a first choice target he signed during his spell here.

I think this sort of deal is all Inter will clear with rumoured moves near completion. Conte at a club with unlimited funds would be a sight.

We have to effectively handicap ourselves to please him? If that really is the case, I know what we should be doing. Competition never hurt anyone.

Nice to have him tied down for the long haul. Hopefully, Tammy isn't far off as well.

With the players absent and their league form, it shouldn't be. No "home woes" to cry about as well.

I keep well away from the village idiots of this world that report anything. Just makes you think, should we end up with Benteke's of this world, what good was actually fighting the ban (one we seemingly shouldn't have even faced to begin with) ?

Haven't we been in the same predicament the last few Winter windows and how have the ended up? The closer it gets to 31/1, the more likely Marina will sign any shit.

Two ACL injuries in the same game. Sad sight

They have four points from a possible 15, so we need to be getting the job done, especially away from home.
