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.

Arsenal preferably considering they play Sunday and we have The FA cup final on the horizon.

Mental just last year we got spanked 7-1 on aggregate in the round of 16 and now we are in the final. Seeing Mount life the European Cup would make everything beautiful.

This. The space in the middle worries me the most.

Playing on the counter I imagine given Werner's inclusion. Worked against Atletico. In Tuchel we trust.

Some fans were wary of Tuchel because of his behavior with the board. Look at Icardi tonight. A ghost. 50 million. This was a Leonardo transfer, when Tuchel was begging them for full backs. You can see why no manager can work with them.

Probably because City/Pep aren't 16th in chances converted.

That's Mount for a full 90 then.

Dropping points against Wolves, Saints, Leeds, Brighton, and West Brom isn't what I consider yielding results. We've failed to capitalise on several games and are fortunate enough Liverpool experienced this utter collapse. This system is useful against top teams but completely redundant against lower opposition when we need more attacking influence vs only 3 this current system provides.

I've stated that the priority next season is an Elite DM and CB, and Aguero for a couple seasons considering the lack of real options. I like the 343 but when 80% of the teams we face will have a low block, it makes the system redundant.

This system has a time and place but if you think we can carry on next season utillizing only this system for 60+ games, I think you both will be in a very rude awakening. The part in bold is the biggest misconception. The problem is collective with regards to decision making. What isn't making things better is the lack of attacking options, which only further emphasizes how wasteful we are. We are relying on 3 players to provide the attacking influence in a 343 when a 433 offers 5. Also, who is this mysterious ST that is going to come and solve our attacking issues single handedly?

BILD saying its us and Liverpool after Sancho? Really? Hopefully that means we'll see less of the 343 next season.

Andre Silva I'm skeptical about as those that watch the Bundesliga don't seem to rate him and I am taking their opinion ever so highly considering they predicted the Werner flop.

Hope Tuchel is wary about Real Madrid's corner kick strategy. Felt it was the only way they hurt us last week and they did it again against Osasuna and could of had a hattrick of goals just off of corners.
