And to add to that, they have a fresh schedule compared to us. Worrying.

He will overtake SAF should he continue to manage to his 70s.

Remains level we are only 6 above Arsenal… Let that sink in.

Kovacic has to come in at some point. No link between defence or attack. Constant long balls to Pulisic.

So that isn’t reckless from Jimenez?

I would be surprised if we score today.

Vlahovic is essentially now a left footed Harry Kane. Doing even better this season.

Wish this animation would continue on in this man multiplying by 1000x and then being transported to an overcrowded hospital.

Tuchel publicly stated he wanted a #9 who was a presence in the box and had his back against defenders. He then went on to praise the likes of Haaland, Lewa, Kane, and Lukaku. From everything I've gathered, he pushed for this move. If this move sets us back, (which already has) he needs to be held accountable.

There's also a self confidence issue. We've completely lost it. Maybe due to certain player uncertainties? Don't get me wrong. I back the club fully in not wanting to extend certain players contracts and rightfully upgrading on them, but you do wonder if this has taken a toll on the players and Tuchel in particular. Rudiger is as good as gone. Christensen and Dave seem to be both out the door. Barkley and Saul have nothing to play for anymore. Talks the club won't extend Jorginho's contract. Kante's fitness issues remain a concern for the club so there is a delay there.

Literally going into this expecting nothing. That way if we lose and/or throw it away I won't be half as angry. If its a Ruben and Jorginho midfield then a defeat is inevitable.

Suffers the same mental illness as Bakayoko in having a very fragile self conscious and confidence in oneself. Must of had an abusive father growing up.

This.

Again, one side provides science, the other provides crazy conspiracy theories. I don't even consider myself left but I side with them because of the science.

Yeah. Let's listen to this guy.

Can someone post direct links or articles claiming Pep wanted Lukaku?

Output isn't my main concern. It's forming a dynamic front three that can be cohesive together in the long run. You look at Chiesa at Juventus and he is the only player pressing and providing any sort of dynamism. They look to him similarly to how we looked at Hazard to create anything. For me, he is playing in a system and with players that don't complement him. He presses, he isn't predictable in his attack, two footed, and a workhorse. He would thrive in our set up and especially with Mount.

Tuchel will only be a concern if he approves more absurd signings like Lukaku. Clear as day the issue is personnel Who gets into City or Liverpool's team? Not even Kante anymore considering his injury record. I'm expecting a massive fire sale in the summer with loads of players leaving on a free.

Come on now. Everton fielded their U23 team.

They need to be a dynamic goal scoring winger.

Nah. Think the floor has finally collapsed. We've papered the cracks for far too long. Our structure and defence got us to this point so far. It was in no way sustainable considering how wasteful our attack and midfield have been. As others have alluded to, only Norwich, Juventus, and Leicester were performances where everyone was in sync. Three games. All season.

Give it a few weeks, we will have gone from a title challenge to a battle for Top 4. Embarrassing. Every shape imaginable. Signing Lukaku is just the pinnacle of a season that was doomed from the start.

On his strong foot as well. We should be playing the kit man over Saul

I think this club has every right to not extend Dave, Christensen, or Rudiger's contracts. What we can hope is that they've realised these are system based players only.

Thinking a straight tie between either Ziyech for giving the ball away so pathetically or the marking from Saul.
