And Ruben? 6 midfielders for 2 roles?

Still far too early to say he’s ready. Barkley took the piss out of Arsenal this time last year for Villa and many said we made a mistake loaning him out. That being said, I am intrigued to see how he’d fair here in this system.

Gallagher looking more and more like a box to box whereas Mount is continuing to develop as a CAM.

How’d he do against City?

Can’t see where the goal is coming from at all

Mount injured?

Anyone beheading to St. James park for this?

How's Ruben? I know he had a hip flexor scare earlier in the week?

Would remind me of that time Barca and Real faced each other 4 times in a month.

Balon d'Or's criteria changes every year. From which player had the best individual season to which player had the best influence to their club winning silverware.

Need to be wary of the shitehouses. Expecting this. Mendy Christensen Silva Rudiger Azpilicueta Jorginho Kante Ruben Chilwell Mount Havertz

Sarr and Alonso is a recipe for disaster.

He provides too much leeway for the keeper to know where he's going in his run up. Lampard did as well at times but when he did he slotted it bottom corner every time. Impossible for the keeper to get.

There’s Kepa. Was wondering where he’d show up

Scratch the assist too. Not from open play.

Being prepared for the inevitable 352 on Saturday.

We are playing like a team with zero directness in attack...

Virtually no point in Ziyech anymore.

Keeping rhythm would make sense had he'd continue to play in a role that is natural to him vs something that isn't. And if anything this means he isn't playing Saturday against a shitehouse side like Newcastle.

You do not take a young player as raw as CHO by playing him out of position constantly and expect him to continue to develop. It's maddening and I for one cannot find any legitimate reason to play him at RWB when Azpilicueta didn't even play against Norwich.

If anything this means he isn't starting Saturday so we will likely see a 352 I imagine. Which would be a mistake as Newcastle aren't Brentford. They are dreadful.

I'm seeing a back 3 on Livescorehunter. Unbelievable and quite frankly ridiculous. No JWP or Livramento but its still their strongest XI

So it looks like we are back to zero width and CHO back to playing in an unnatural position.

Please tell me that is a back 4. Please tell me. Because if CHO is being shoved at RWB again I might just break something.

It's now at a point where we should simply abide to his demands. He's become absolutely crucial for us and can provide us at the very least 4-5 years of elite performances under Tuchel.
