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.

That's Carvajal and Varane out. Mendy, Valverde, and Ramos with fitness concerns.

Ruben looks out of place in bloody Fulham’s midfield. Honestly the most overrated youth product we have.

You really think that?

Andre Silva

Aguero for a couple seasons would be nice.

Neither of which likely to start. Valverde as well considering his fitness has plummeted after having Covid.

So that's Carvajal, Marcelo, Mendy, Valverde, and potentially Ramos out for the home leg.

All three midfielders will stay I reckon. Someone will definitely come in though. Preferably an elite player.

I agree but Kovacic is needed big time here.

Mendy Dave---Christensen---Zouma James----Jorginho----Kante----Chilwell Ziyech---------CHO Havertz

Kovacic will be needed for the next leg

Another game where we saw the best and worst of Kante.

It was a bit of cheek considering they both started. But I'm contempt with Werner being a squad player at best. Utilised based on the opposition. As far as a starter, that ship has sailed for me.

He isn't starting over Pulisic.

If Real had the breaks we had it would be 4-1

Need that 2nd

Think we've come to a point where we have to trust Tuchel's game management in the big games. He's delivered so far.
