This. It isn't even remotely an exaggeration. Liverpool or City would genuinely be 4 or 5 nil up right now. This team is so dependent on Tuchel and our set up its frighteningly embarrassing.

I wonder which Chelsea player will make the cock up to gift Everton their goal?

When Ziyech is the best attacker, you know the attack has been poor.

Actual attackers that put away chances.

Pitiful from Mount tonight. Wasteful

Just get through this game and then proceed with the lockdown.

Really is absurd there is talk of league postponement and lockdown when the main symptom of the omicron variant to those unvaccinated is a runny nose.

Chiesa or no one. Can't trust any more Ajax players outside of their own league and never been impressed with Raphinia.

What is "ready"? We just need a backup ST to Havertz who fits the system. Broja fits the bill.

Game is still going on from what I see.

Broja has outscored Lukaku whilst playing nearly 250 minutes less.

Broja again.

It isn't. Matt Law is suggesting its closer to £300kpw. Rudiger and his team know Real will offer him that amount so he's basically asking the club to match it.

Digne now out too it seems.

Again, both City and Liverpool are incredibly balanced with quality. City's team has been in the works since 2012 when they appointed Txiki. Liverpool 2015. Our team has a combination of players from three different managers prior to Tuchel, who is figuring out a system to get them all playing. It's going to be a rough ride to compete against them, however, making wrong signings like Lukaku will just take us two steps back.

City's team is a combination of quality and Pep's influence. With us, Tuchel's influence dwarfs our individual quality.

Because we continue to show that we are beatable.

Leeds play for their lives against us, completely allow City to walk over them. Standard.

For what ever reason the club and medical staff will not release the grade of the tear.

I want to know more about the significance of his tear. The grade is of most importance. If its grade 1 then it was only a few torn fibers, where as a grade 2 is a partial tear. The ACL cannot heal itself if there is a tear so, so more than likely if it is grade 2 it will be needing surgery. By the sound of it, it could only be a grade 1 which is absolutely fantastic news.

Richarlson and Townsend out.

But it's that type of thinking that can hinder squads for years. Both Klopp and Pep have always preached that if the right signing isn't available, don't go for the wrong one. This is exactly what happened to us in 2017 when Conte's first choice options weren't available, so he opted for his plan B's and C's. These signings have hindered us for years and we are still feeling the affect. This is something I am amazed neither Tuchel nor the club especially considered before buying Lukaku. As many have alluded to, we should of just took our chances with who we have + Broja and wait for the right signings.

The CM's in Tuchel's system are in my opinion the most important. People bang on about how our midfield two cannot provide enough in the final third, being goals or assists. I think this system prevents, or limits them from doing so as it will always be a trade off. Kovacic, Kante, and Jorginho make the system tick because they are very disciplined in their possession and position. Adding a creative midfielder in there is going to create an unbalance in that midfield.

An absolute gem in FIFA 22 career mode. Best CM in the game imo. Given how Ziyech, VDB, and De Jong have faired outside of the Eredivisie, he would be a gamble.

Throw Sarr into the list as well. Despite who is leaving, I think we may only get 1 or 2 CBs next summer on the suspicion we may go back to a back 4.
