Need a midfielder. Our whole system under Tuchel was born due to the limitations of our midfielders. Bissouma ran circles around them tonight. Not getting Tchouameni last summer is looking more and more ridiculous by the day. He signs for another club we may as well wear a red nose.

Are you genuine? The team that has 90 points has far less to build on for next season vs the team that finishes with 60 points. We finish 20 points off City again then all of our efforts building on the CL and last season will have meant nothing.

Love when people bring up his ‘metrics’ compared to our other attackers when CHO is the biggest failure when it comes to the eye test. I’m finished with him.

Two games in a row CHO has a absolutely bottled goal scoring chances. He lacks pace, is one dimensional and is an atrocious finisher. It’s so pathetic he is our best winger and no surprise we are now 8 points off City.

Looking forward to the inevitable Alonso/Azpilicueta wingback combo. 0-2 Liverpool

Scoring but playing like shit. Why’d we sell Tammy then? Could’ve saved us a 100 mill…. The difference between us and City is a significant one. They have a vision. We dont.

Jorginho, CHO, Alonso, Azpilicueta, Pulisic, Ziyech, Werner, Ruben, Barkley, & Saul need to go.

Really dislike our team at times.

He was holding his ankle?

Zero control of the game. Getting out worked on tackling, passing, and retention. We may have scored but we literally lost every metric. Pathetic from some.

Lamptey also needs to defend against Pulisic/James and CHO…

I like that team.

Rumors he’s off to Barcelona.

Close to joining Barcelona.

Start by beating both Brighton and Liverpool.

I wish I can share that same optimism but for the sake of the club I don't think it's wise to gamble whether or not Chilwell can return to form... As someone alluded to, (I believe it was Greavsie), the club should look to find a replacement for Alonso. One that is either level or even better than Chilwell.

There is no guarantee considering there are many factors to consider. Benjamin Mendy became literally half the player he was after his initial ACL tear and suffered multiple injuries before his second knee injury. The main issue is that the surgery itself changes the overall mechanics of your body, which can attribute to other muscular injuries moving forward. It is all dependent on how the body reacts to the change. If it is a patellar graft, Chilwell has a risk of suffering more knee injuries in the future. If it is a hamstring graft, Chilwell has a risk of losing his pace and will have loads of macular imbalances in his thigh in the long run.

Everton will push for an obligation to buy I reckon.

Who available in January is starter material? If the club does have someone in mind then we are best recalling either Maatsen or Emerson for the rest of the season.

Everton still need to comply with FFP. Digne is their joint highest earner on 120kpw.

And yet this system demands attacking fullbacks over defensive ones. Makes no sense we spent the majority of last summer going after Hakimi when he is bang average defensively. I'd prefer Dest for the simple fact he has a good attacking output and can play either LWB or RWB.

Prefer Dest.

No guarantee Chilwell comes back the same player.

Not just him, but the rest of the attack. Our recycling of possession vs being more direct is often an issue for us.

Rudiger at the very least is keeping it professional ala Ronaldo 2009 and Hazard 2019.
