DANILA

Agree, Kante has been one of our worst players all season

I doubt ziyech is starting so I bet Mount will play

Welcome fellow Canadian!

He'll have plenty of time to show how bad he is and how weak his football IQ his this season; but yeah, hopefully someone will offer decent money for him!

Pulisic has to play on the left. Mount on the bench for this one and can come on for Ziyech later if necessary. Remainder of the team likely stays the same except Silva in for Zouma (due to this mistake and laziness) and Mendy in if muscle is ok.

Improving players is a second priority right now - we have immense talent all around except in defense which we will have to spend in Jan or summer to reinforce in any case. We have fundamental problems like ive stated numerous times across the forum which can only be solved with a manager change - we need a manager who has experience at the top level and is tactically strong. Nagelsmann would be a great replacement for Lampard - he is ruining this club. I can't recognize our team anymore. Every game I am unsure if we're going to win or play well, even against bottom feeders.

couple of players missing does not enable us to play this poorly - we have an inherent, fundamental issue with lampard's chelsea; no attacking tactics, horrendous defense (do we even practice defending in training?), park the bus philosophy, and having bottom table teams dominate for 10 minute periods (driven by no tactics). Patience is running low with FL - if we play this way in the next 3 games I hope he's out

Absolutely disgraceful - individual talent got us the goals once again. The same theme over and over again - we score and then get DOMINATED for 15 minute periods where we can't even touch the ball. Defense was bad but there are fundamental issues as a team here

Wouldn't be shocked to see Mount play GK ahead of Kepa

Listen I completely agree with you, but I really think this is our only option. For clarity, this is NOT what I want.

What would you change? I don't think we have any other option really given pulisic, ziyech, chilwell, silva are unlikely to start?

Stay away. At this point we actually need players with more experience; We could almost play our starting XI in a U23 league lol

Kepa James Christensen Zouma Azpi Kovacic Jorginho CHO Havertz Mount Werner Pulisic and Ziyech off the bench.

Kante needs to be sold ASAP while he still has some value; can't play more than 3 games straight without having an issue

We need to sell Kante in Jan while he has value - hasn't been fully fit for a consecutive 3 games for 2 years now...

What a pass by KDB, wow

Retirement / injury

England getting absolutely dominated by Belgium

If dems were in power the covid situation would be even worse - it would have been "politically incorrect" to ban flights from China. You had the witch Pelosi taking the piss on Trump by saying everyone in SF should go to china town in late february. Ultimately, it was inevitable USA would be worst hit by covid due to its size and "free" nature of Americans. It's really in the governors' hands what they do per their respective state. Did lockdowns in March and April really help? I think its obvious they didn't looking at what's going on now around the developed world. To blame Trump entirely for the covid situation in the US is a joke. EDIT: wanted to clarify I agreed with the lockdowns and am not an anti-masker or anything, but its pretty clear we're back to the starting point.

stick to football m8 you are profoundly out of you depth on economics and politics and I did not even get into the open, blaring (not a dog whistle, but a foghorn) racism and white nationalism that Trump is suicidal leading 35% of the country to re-embrace openly or his maniacal and mass-murdering shambolic handling of the COVID-19 pandemic these videos are FROM ACTUAL REPLUBICAN LEADERS To just start throwing insults is classic and what I expected of both you and the left. I have zero financial and economic acumen? Right on, guess I work in PE on zero basis. I noticed a large imbalance on this forum to the left and wanted to even things out by posting a quick one liner and to make people laugh. I will go back up and read what you posted since I appreciate how much time you put into it (not being sarcastic), but I have my reasons as to why I support Trump and am right wing / conservative. While not an extensive list, I've had enough of political correctness, SJ, and high taxes being spent inefficiently. Trump is much better for equities and it's not even debatable although it seems like the market has accepted a Biden victory and aren't so negative about it - thank god. You post all this nonsense against Trump and you look at Biden and can seriously tell me he's fit to be president? He's completely senile. No wonder why China wants him in.

Go trump! Dems win and the western world is done along with my portfolio

We should win comfortably even with main players injured. Having none of this nonsense of one player out leading to us dropping points against Soton

waking up at 7:30am in toronto to watch this match... hopefully the lads don't disappoint but I'm nervous about this tbh

I don't think Liv are as good as people are saying, I just think the premier league is pretty weak tactically besides city who are just inconsistent. Was looking at the way Napoli and Inter were playing this weekend and was so jealous... Liv does the basics right and play as a team, something we're not even close to doing right now and last season
