I just can't see how they'll be able to keep hold of Kvaratskhelia after the season they're having. The president is only after money & the players in question are showing they're worth it. Transfer clauses will play their part.

Things have to change at some point. He'll get everything he's ever wanted and more at PSG. Napoli will lose at least two key players in the summer or more, so they have their chance to make history now before those around them close the gap. Also, I'm sure Inter would take him back without any questions asked if the opportunity presented itself. All things considered, if he wants to continue in club management, he will need to learn to hold his tongue sooner rather than later.

PSG or somewhere in Italy are the only logical options, tbh.

I wouldn't put much weight on penalties for youth sides. However, his injury record is probably reason enough to have him slightly lower in the pecking order. Pulisic is the only other one that comes to mind considering his efforts for the US NT in big matches. He's another player that isn't nailed on to start, so it's the same old story of "there's no one better," which will probably continue to work in Havertz's favour.

James. His winning PK's in back to back shootouts say enough.

I hope he's taken off PK duty. It's only of time before it really hurts us.

I've tried to ignore the events of last week. However, KK was just as much at fault for stupidly going in to intercept for no reason, which presented the chance for Everton's attacker. Away to West Ham and the obvious one against RM are the two most vivid memories of Mendy's distribution. The fact we're even having this discussion goes to show a new GK should be a main priority in the summer.

Do miracles come true? Chance of winning the CL (he had a 100% record this season) & potentially knocking his former employees out in the process.

I don't believe people are against him per se, but his limitations are more prevalent with the style of football we're trying to play. As they say, possession football starts from the back; you can't exactly do that if your GK is hoofing it long.

Flamengo didn't even want to sign him permanently a few months ago. I'm hoping it's just the usual Twitter gossip that holds no truth.

I see you're picking and choosing plus points as you see fit. A few good months, aka reaching back-to-back CL finals, and boasts the best CL win ratio over 50 games. I needn't say more. Lukaku was HIS signing... 🤣 Just rewatch the Carabao Cup final and tell me how that defeat was his fault.

Potter has a habit of changing formations on a regular basis, so the formation argument could well be irrelevant should he stay on. It's the lesser of two evils at this point.

That's what happens when money is the driving force. Mbappe is the only notable name that might have joined because of his obvious connection to the club, but him turning down RM on multiple occasions wasn't based on footballing reasons. The driving forces were the front three. The bottom line is that; it's up to you to decide if you want to disregard it. I have no idea why you're using Carlo as an example to support your point since he had a track record before joining us. Also, look at Xavi's & Arteta's record in Europe for starters; the former has failed to get out of the CL group stages for TWO seasons in a row. To answer your question, Tuchel. I know there's no chance of either party building bridges, so I'm at a loss in that regard. I'd personally wait till the summer at the very least to assess our options before making any hasty decisions, even if we sack Potter in the meantime.

For starters, are you really comparing this Messi to the one that was at Barcelona? 🤣 Also, there's a reason that front three hasn't worked - none of them are a CF.

His track record. He had the best strike force to grace modern-day football, so that stat isn't nearly as impressive as you might believe.

It's a sad predicament we're in. I'd hoped Slonina would at least be in the matchday squads with Mendy being out. No idea what is planned for him at this point. Mendy is far from the GK that lifted the CL. He ultimately got us knocked out last year. We need shot of both, tbh.

Do we need flashbacks of RM last year?

We were nowhere near because Lampard was leading the team for half the season, not because of Tuchel's shortcomings. This idea of long-term managers needs to be reassessed at this point. Boehly has pumped plenty of cash into the club within a short time scale, so we need to deliver something sooner rather than later.

We managed to beat Pep's amazing City side three times in the same season. I believe if Tuchel had been backed, he would have built a team capable of competing on all fronts.

I still feel like Maignan is probably the best all-around option.

I guess the countless numbers of replies aren't getting the point across. He really isn't the answer. We'll play some attractive football, but we'll be found out when it really matters.

My bad. Stupidity is contagious. A CM for a winger makes perfect sense.

Gallagher is a box to box, Felix is an AM. It isn't hard to understand.

Potter still thinks he's at Brighton. It's inexcusable.

He brought a CM on for a winger. There's a few words for ya. 🙄
