We just need to GET HIM THE RIGHT PLAYERS!
His system is NOT a gimmick (like Conte 3 4 3 was, as it was found out massively last year)
Given the right players (NO, not Messi or CR7 or some other uneducated footie fans idea of who they would drop in) it can win a CL.
There was one break, around 40th minute or so, where Willian should have done a one touch pass to a flying Hazard, but no, he had to fuck about with leg overs and slowed the whole thing down. That is what so frustrates me about him. He is a goddamn ball hog.
Shitty don't desperately need anything. They want to get Fernandinho replacement (Neves is by far their preferred option, with Weigl 2nd or maybe use Frenkie de Jong there, although he is more wanted by them as a CMF, with Rabiot also in the mix there). Backup/rotation LB (Junior Firpo is their number one target) and add another truly WC CB (Marquinhos or Matthijs de Ligt or José Giménez or Dayot Upamecano or Benjamin Pavard)
Džeko would not get a whiff of playing time, he doesn't fit Pep system at all. Jesus is hardly shit as well at aerial duels.
No Pedro,not even on bench is a fucking massive miss, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
We need the whipping boys (Luiz, Alonso (on defence) , Azpi (on offence) and Willian to have monster games. Would be GREAT if Giroud actually scored for a change too. Hopefully this is the game Kante finally settles in to new role as well.
We have to win 9 nil or 10 -1, etc, to go clear top of table, ffs
In other words, this may be the last time, other than if the scousers win, that Shitty aint top
