We aren't winning the league with Alonso. It's honestly ridiculous the levels this team is when you compare him and Chilwell in the side.

I like that front three but that midfield and the wingbacks make me nervous.

I think he could do a job as a starter but not as our focal point. As you alluded to and many others (including myself) I'd like us to continue the false 9 with Lukaku as the RF/RW.

We were warned by Bundesliga fans that Werner thrives in a counter attacking set up and that he was wasteful. I think I'm most shocked of his horrid footballing IQ in the final third.

Matt Law indicated on the London is Blue podcast he could potentially leave in the summer. Dortmund or Bayern main suitors. Ruled out a move to United as he doesn't expect Werner to stay in England.

I agree. I did say in August that this signing could inevitably get him sacked.

Tuchel made it pretty clear Lukaku will always play unless he can't walk.

To be honest he is now entering Morata/Torres territory with regards to his positioning in the box. Just no IQ what so ever.

A doubt according to Tuchel

If we are preparing the worst. Mendy Chalobah Christensen Rudiger Azpilicueta Saul Loftus-Cheek CHO Mount Pulisic Lukaku

Whether it be now or a few years from now, I fully expect UEFA to reinstate the 2020 award and give it to Lewandowski.

You lot realise these are votes by players and journalists? Criteria is bound to change as this award is completely subjective.

The competition itself is embarrassing considering the criteria changes every year.

This. Our chance to secure Chiesa greatens if this becomes reality.

The only thing I read was that the Chiesa turned down Liverpool in favor of playing for Juventus. His father said he does not want to play in the Premier League "at the moment". This can all change as there is breaking news Juventus are currently under investigation regarding how certain players were valued/funded. If they cannot afford Chiesa we should be all over him, with reports stating we are preparing a bid still.

Chiesa should still be our #1 imo but this is still all dependent on who leaves. Havertz, Ademyi, Chiesa, Mount, and CHO would be so ideal for next season.

To be honest I think the only 'safe' ones are Havertz and Mount. The former is a generational talent and the latter is our poster boy. Werner, Ziyech, CHO, and Pulisic haven't shown enough that they are good enough to help lead this club to a title challenge. Obviously we have to wait until the end of the season for a final assessment, but I reckon maybe one at most will show their worth come the end. Still question marks over Lukaku on whether he is willing to accept a minor role as its become evident we operate better without a focal point.

Adeyemi

Think it's a loss cause at this rate. That miss against United perfectly summed up his time with us. There will not be much space in this league so you will need to be good on the ball to succeed.

Ziyech and maybe Werner the only two likely to leave next summer.

Need an immediate response here.

What I will say getting only 2 out of 9 points against the clubs that finished above us last season is not good enough.

Mendy is far and away from the issue. We saw Allison and Ederson fuck up more this season alone

And we couldnt beat them. Again.

Aguero was also world class on the ball. City's gulf of goals with Aguero was due to his ability on the ball and not relying on him making runs off of defenders with the odd chance he will score a goal.
