It’s come to a point where the club needs to make a decision on him. Continue to invest in him in the hopes his injuries go away, or sell on.

Thing with Owen is that he had multiple tears. Multiple tears of the hamstring leave indents in the hamstring where the muscle tissue initially was, making the hamstring weaker and more prone to injuries. I'm not sure if Pulisic suffered any hamstring injuries in the severity of Owen. Just hoping proper rehab can get rid of the problem.

I think he needs to focus the entire summer on improving his muscular strength and mobility. Last summer with the season ending so late and having zero recovery and preseason may have prolonged this issue.

I posted in the transfer thread if anyone has kept a close eye on him. He's having a terrific season numbers wise and maybe a potential alternative.

Micah Richards had a reoccurring hamstring issue that he sorted out. I remember watching a video of him where he stated he and the physio team focused primarily on building strength on him hammies in the off season.

We might have to. Mendy Dave----Christensen---Rudiger CHO----Jorginho---Kovacic----Chilwell Ziyech/Mount----------Werner Havertz

Muscular imbalances is fixable.

Oh well color me fucking surprised. Pulisic and a muscular injury. 🙄

I'd save Mount and James for Palace. Ziyech, Pulisic, and Havertz for me will be key for us in the CL considering they are all picking up form.

Mendy Dave----Christensen---Rudiger CHO----Jorginho---Kovacic----Chilwell Ziyech----------Pulisic Havertz

Those are needed ahead of a ST.

Don't think there was any issue with the XI, bar Werner at ST. Jorginho's capitulation really cost us today. 3 misplaced passes leading to two yellow cards and a West Brom 2nd goal. Silva may have been rash but he should've never been in the situation in the first place. Especially when he's just come back.

Anyone still think we don't need a new CB?

No one expected us to get 10 points from United, Liverpool, and Atletico twice. Still have faith in Tuchel. Hopefully this is just a blip.

The fact Tuchel wanted him at PSG is worrying me. Clearly obvious needs to be improved on this summer.

No idea how anyone can be Alonso > Chilwell after that. Who ever said it was spot on. I will take Chilwell at his worst over Alonso.

We could end up 6th by the end of this weekend. Cheers lads. Thank you yet again for a great start to the weekend.

Need 4 points from Arsenal and City now.

Starting Werner at ST is a big question mark for me.

Werner as the ST just such a bizarre decision by Tuchel. So, so bizarre.

Anyone know Jorginho and Kovacic's turnover of possession that 1st half?

Jorginho gave the ball away three times. 1st led to Silva’s yellow 2nd led to Silva’s red 3rd led to West Brom’s 2nd goal

Take off Alonso!!!’nn

So poor.

I'd say losing Kovacic would be the biggest loss with regards to midfield. Hopefully he's fit by Man City.
