Willian is on so no corner goals

Looks like Willian for Pedro. Can you imagine if he takes on hazard

Great pass my Pedro

I'll get stick for this but fuck it I've chucked a fiver on a Bournemouth. Do me a favour and make me lose money you fucking rats

More early crosses. If the fullbacks go wide, Kovacic and Kante have to be positioned to stop the counter. Can someone fucking LOOK UP for Higuain before we get the box.

That cross by Pedro was much more like it and you can see Higuain appreciated because it was EARLY. No fucking around so 8 men van stand in front of the box and left a few metres of space between the defence and keeper. Cross was shit but defiantly the right move.

Players standing too still in the final third including Higuain

Pedro stood on the left hand side for 3 full fucking minutes. This is pissing me off. Kovacic is pissing me off too. Guy

I guess if it breeds generations of USA fans we improve once Pulisic retires

Who saw Emerson lose that header in the box. Guy is too short

From what I've seen, CHO will improve us more than Pulisic. Fucking figures of CHO leaves

I tell you what, CHO will make this team much better in virtue of hugging the touchline and giving width. Kante will stay more central and better snuff out counter attacks. Pedro and Willian both cut in too much. Kante is forced wide because that's where the space is.

Jorginho reading the game like a boss

Pedro is really intense when he loses the ball

Higuain with the little whisper to Kante tell him what to look for. I'll gonna like this guy.

Higuains movement is sexy. It's a shame Kante won't be able to find him

How the fuck are they starting the prick? If he doesn't what to play then he's an entitled little shit. Give him what he wants. Don't play him and send him to the Germans

How tall are Walker, Mendy and KDB? The Liverpool fullbacks aren't short. Neither are their cms. Kante and Jorginho definitely are.

I do understand what he's saying. None of Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic or our two wingers are tall enough to defend corners. That leaves our 2 cbs and a striker (if we play one). IIRC Azpi stands on the post. So playing Alonso literally adds a third to our tall players. Having said that, Emerson doesn't seem too short to me.

Barkley Ampadu Kovacic

Give Jorginho a rest

After Courtois left, it's a testament to how good he has been that this thread has been quiet

Thank You!! We won 2 league titles thanks to Diego

As mourinho said, there's s fucking reason Pep spent £100m+ on fullbacks. They are imperative. We have slow ones with poor technique

Typing on my phone hopefully this comes out making sense. Sarri is spot on the money, but First i accept sarri deserves blame for; • our midfield problems. Kante cannot be the furthest forward midfielder. Though I sympathise with Kovacic being toothless, Barkley being brain dead and RLC being so lazy that he isn't considered as a cm. Nonetheless, Sarri doesn't seem to have even CHANGED it. • the false 9 has never looked like working. Again, in some fairness it takes Hazard off the wings to provide more support for the fullbacks. Overall, it's failed so spectacularly this isn't an excuse anymore. • I fucking hate that he likes Alonso so much Those are the 3 areas I think he's responsible for. Now for the squad. He's absolutely bang on the money in this interview, and it hasn't started with him. Mourinho in his last season bemoaned good players suddenly turning shit and going into their shells. Conte got beat in the FA cup by an arsenal without Lacazette or Auba because we were toothless yet again. This has happened in seasons gone by. He's fucking right. The players just don't have the aggression needed. They can be outfought. If you want to play an attacking possession game, that's suicide. You will be bullied. I'm honestly just as pissed at the squad as I am at sarri (even more tbh). They deserve a bollocking. If Hazard wants to go and join big nose in Madrid be by guest. Willian and Pedro will be gone in the summer Mark my words. GET SOME FUCKING GUMPTION
