Fuck this ref. That is all.

Lots need to be said about some player's performances. The midfield two and James need to step it up.

Judging by Tuchel's reaction at half, gaining attacking control is far from his concern.

All the more reasoning why an elite CM should be a priority.

And again just a truly awful pass from Kante. We have to worry about him seeing the open pass and playing an accurate ball.

My dead nan saw how open he was. Bless her.

Best and worst of Kante. Steals the ball, plays the worst pass option

This is genuinely worrying. Are we playing down a man? It seems that way.

Not so sure. Marquinho's being out could be a huge miss.

Only reason why I believe there could be some truth is the Moroccan influence that is already at Sevilla.

If Kovacic is unavailable Mount has to play. Only one just as good in transition.

Did the club not set a fixed option to buy amount? I thought they did and that Milan were trying to lower it? He's won over 90% of his aerial duels to be fair. And before you say, "it's La Liga", Kounde's vertical is better than most CB's in Europe. And 99% of those CB's on that list are unavailable.

But wouldn't of it made more sense to utilise Werner today instead of City?

Would've rather that front three was rested for City.

Not entirely sure any Muslim footballer fasts during the season. Football is their profession and they need to take care of their body. Fasting takes a massive toll on that. It's well known in Islam that if you are unable to fast, you must give to charity instead.

They don't fast. They give to charity instead.

I'd sell Zouma. Keep Tomori. Buy Kounde (1) Tomori-----Christensen----Kounde (1.2) James-----Tomori/Silva-----Kounde----Chilwell (2) Dave----Silva-----Rudgier

You don't think the lineup I posted is capable of finishing off the tie?

What killer is available? We're not getting Haaland so let's be realistic. Look at the impact Cavani is having for United. Look at what Drogba and Eto'o did for us. I'm still for having Havertz as our CF, but having the likes of Giroud and Aguero as depth options would help us loads.

Where? CM? That is the only position I'd argue is more important than a CB. Add a backup GK. Aguero is the only ST available that could improve us, and he'd be on a free. So that is funds saved for a Top CM and CB.

I'll say one thing, Chelsea fans are genuinely the most gullible in having the wool being pulled over their eyes. After seeing posts about Kepa being trusted whilst Mendy is at AFCON, this only confirmed it.

And again, Silva is injury prone and Dave isn't getting any younger. That leaves Zouma. And if we were to revert to a back 4, not one of our CBs are fit to play there at an elite level bar Silva.

Erm.... we are facing either Saints or Leicester in the final if we beat City. A second chance for these group of players. I say there is a lot to care about,

Why on earth would it not be a priority? Silva is injury prone. Dave is on his last legs and Zouma is a calamity on the ball and a disaster waiting to happen. I'm glad there are reports we are still after a top CB.

Which makes Kounde all the more attractive.
