We'd be 10th and knocked out of all competitions had we continued with Lampard. I'm glad Roman and co are not on board with managerial 'projects'. Especially with inexperienced managers. We'd be in a similar position Arsenal find themselves in. The 'project' the club is striving for is becoming more sustainable. Fairly certain if we win both the FA Cup and Champions league this season, and go on not to win the league next season, Tuchel's job won't be on the line should we still see signs of progression and sustainability. Ancelotti wasn't sacked for not winning the league.

Yeah I'd play that as well depending on Kovacic's fitness. This for the FA Cup final. Think if Leicester continue with their 3 at the back Werner will enjoy running between the lines. Kepa Dave---Silva---Rudiger James----Jorginho---Kante----Chilwell Mount------Werner Havertz

My opinion, Christensen’s injury may be a blessing in disguise. Dave/Silva/Rudiger back three. James and Chilwell wingbacks. Start with Kovacic and Kante, bring Jorginho later on to regain control or to retain the ball better. Start Werner/Havertz/Mount, bring on a Pulisic and CHO against shaky City legs.

Jorginho coming on completely changed the game. Should take notice if that for the final.

Yup. He and Gilmour read the forum at half time

Left side none existent with Alonso

Pen was a joke and Sterling not sent off a bigger one.

They are breezing by Alonso every time

Bad ball judgement

Could at least switch both Pulisic and Ziyech send half

He and Ziyech having shockers

Kante’s and Pulisic’s hamstrings my primary concern over the result.

Wtf

I'm referring to individual mistakes vs having no protection in front of them. Varane has had a hand full in recent years.

Not really if you've watched Varane recently. Calamity of mistakes Luiz would be proud of.

I would be totally fine with a shitehouse performance here. Mendy Zouma---Christensen---Rudiger James----Jorginho---Gilmour----Emerson Ziyech----------Pulisic Tammy

So another Cahill/David Luiz? No thank you

Thought Varane was awful against us as well. Not been too impressed with him the past couple years.

Mental. We have to risk another 90 for Kante which is worrying for his hamstrings.

Think we should learn by now we work in the dark with regards to transfers. No one has a fucking clue. I tend to trust BILD for anything Bundesliga related though. They were right about Werner and Havertz.

Marquinhos beat Ruben Dias for his goal against City. It happens. Should City address this issue because he was beaten ONE time? What other times this season was Dave beaten in the air? If this is such a liability as you are making out to be, why aren't other clubs specifically targeting him?

What's this got to do with us having zero issues of defending set pieces this season? And if I recall correctly, Dave only got beaten once by Deli Alli in 2017 and that was due to a worldie of a pass from Erikson.

Is he fit for Saturday?

He'd ideally be replacing Dave. (who are the same height). And we haven't had a problem all season with regards to set pieces.

He's won 90% of his areal duels and has one of the highest verticals in Europe.
