Clockwork

Tuchel is just making excuses, it was absolutely embarrassing how he talked about Kante injury being the difference where we finished in the league. whenever Kante was healthy he wasn't that good. Kovacic injury hurt more if we are being honest. Kante is only good for a few games at this stage of his career.

Conte won’t stay at Spurs long enough, like I said he is way too chaotic. There is no harmony with him, he is like Mourhino things will deteriorate or he will leave before that. Spurs can’t attract top players, add some solid players. Maybe win a cup, I don’t see them becoming a legit threat. They are bad news for Arsenal and United. If you see our positioning barely staying at the top 4 yes they are a threat, but if the goal is to compete for PL then I am not worried.

Not worried about Conte and Spurs at all. Seriously why worry about them? You guys worrying they will compete for CL qualification? we are 20 points behind Pool and City that should be our worry. Maybe you guys feel catching up to City and Pool is out of reach. Conte is very chaotic, he will be leaving Spurs in a couple of years. Maybe win a Mickey Mouse trophy along the way, that is all.

Taking transfer fee and wages out of the equation, I would take Neymar in an instant.

A lot of what I see translates over, I think he will be a good fit in the PL. skilled, athletic, and has low center of gravity. Fits the type of players that tend to be a success in the PL. Really like how he has his head up all the time. I think Dembele is the most talented player on the list, but he has been around for a while he still hasn't pulled it all together. 1. Dembele 2. Antony 3. Raphinha 4. Gnarby- I am not convinced by him tbh

You don’t rate Antony?

The more people talk about the back 3 and the players we are signing the more depressed I get about next season. Because what is changing from this past season to next season? Talking about Kounde and Gcardiol as WB occasionally gets me as depressed as thinking about Lukaku next season.

I am banking on Lukaku forcing his way out.

Very different players, he is more of an attacking CM than a CDM. Plus he is only 17, would need time. I think he is more skilled than Pedri.

It seems negotiating not going smoothly with Gavi and Barca, heck of a player.

I value a wide player based on their ability to beat players 1 vs 1, I just don’t see the ball control, acceleration, dribbling. I like the off the ball movement though.reminds me of Arsenal Pepe. I watched Luis Diaz before he went to Liverpool I knew he would excel.

Nkunku does not look Chelsea quality. Prefer Sterling.

I agree with you on Rudigar and Kounde. btw what is the opinion of Darwin Nunez?

I personally never understand the luck argument, or when players, managers, fans, etc argue the result wasn’t fair or they deserved better. Our 2012 CL was no lucky either, many years of success and failures lead to that. In fact that team was less lucky, if you consider losing to penalty against United years ago, Andres Iniesta late equalizer that sent that to the final.

I don’t recognize the irrelevant flag of your country, so I wouldn’t be able to insult you. Rudigar, AC, and Azpi all have expiring contracts. Back 4 is the norm in football, the majority of teams are able to field it. The situation is giving the opportunity to recruit those players.

So did RDM, Tuchel has done well enough to buy more time. People complain about our attackers yet at the same admit, Tuchel tactics only benefits our defenders. Unless he changes we are going to continue to be competing for 3/4, anyone is watching this team toward end of the season thinking wow this team could be PL winner?

I don’t see Lukaku here next season, his ego is too big to fight for his position. He will push for an exit.

Worse winning percentage than Sarri.

Who is benefiting from the 3-4-3?

I see Danjuma as a better finisher/scorer but I like Antony close control and acceleration. See a bit of the left footed version of Hazard.

Got to judge players on skill and traits. Because that ultimately translates not what league they played. I liked Ziyech, but not as FW. I was hoping he would be utilized like he was early in his Ajax career as a #8. If he was at City he would probably an alternative to KDB. In the PL you have to have the acceleration to beat players 1 on 1 if you are going to play as a wide forward.

Thoughts on Antony?

MBZ drives a lot of influence.

I also dislike City because they are state owned by UAE, who are very much responsible with what is going on in Yemen.

We are not catching Pool overall count, not in my lifetime anyway. But Pool has 1 PL title in the modern era so there is that, we can brag about that.
