Back to square one again

I think it's a given at this point. CHO inclusion will be the only surprise.

He's a DLP, isn't he? I get the fact that runs aren't being made around him as much as we would like, but that hasn't stopped Luiz completing almost twice as many through balls. Our midfield needs to offer more than just retention.

We didn't in the summer. What's magically changed in 6 months that will result in different outcome?

The board better be as stubborn with Bayern, if that's the case.

Take anything and run!

More change of the latter, but I can see a last minute deal for Higuain. I seriously don't want that to happen either

People bidding £35m for Arnautovic aren't helping.

He is by far the best option around. However, we aren't dropping £100m~ for anyone.

The fact he hasn't even assisted a goal this season (24 games) is extremely alarming.

We need a CF soon as, so Sarri can't finally drop this false nine shit. That City result was a double-edged sword.

Yep. Giroud on for Willian would be the logical move

No threat down our left whatsoever

Not pleased with the false nine, but happy CHO has deservedly kept his place.

Willian shouldn't be anywhere near the XI. If CHO doesn't start, we might as well do away with him swiftly. Tonight will say a lot about Sarri

It's on Sarri, though. He did everything he needed to in preseason & was never given a chance.

Arnautovic rumours seem to rearing their head quite often. If we really are after a CF during this window, I would prefer us to get someone with potential value down the line for a host of reasons. Higuain is the last name I personally want to see here regardless of what he did under Sarri.

I really hope Sarri backs up his words with actions in the coming weeks. CHO just wants to play, so his future lies in Sarri's hands.

He certainly deserves game time (should he remain) against sides that are just going to sit back. Sticking with Alonso & Azpi makes us even more ineffective going forward.

Agreed. Bayern aren't offering those wages to no youngsters

We need to stop going after/being linked with CF's that have past their prime.

The board surely can't be stupid enough to sell him to Bayern. However, a potential move with a smaller club with a clause could be feasible.

Fair play to Morata

And people question VAR. The officiating in this country is abysmal. They need as much help as possible.

Morata missing chances like that and Sarri still thinks we don't need a CF.
