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.

Check out his statistics on areal duels and his vertical. He's pretty good. I rate Jimenez a lot. He was the only thing standing between us and a 5-0 victory in the 2nd leg. But his release clause is bonkers.

Ruben Dias. Signs of potential and under a great manager has turned into one of the world's elite. Same can be done with Kounde imo.

He and James both offer something different in that role. One very attacking and direct, the other defensively strong. CHO against bottom half clubs. James against top half.

We hoping for a draw here?

So keeping clean sheets against two potentially relegated premier league clubs and Championship club Barnsley enough to completely disregard the fact Kepa is a horrid shot stopper and poor at commanding his box?

If we are to persist with this formation an elite CB and CM are still needed along with a ST. We all trusting Kepa to take over Mendy whilst he's in AFCON?

Sit back and counter here. This is what I would do. Save Pulisic, Kovacic, Dave, and Mount for City. Mendy Christensen---Silva----Rudiger James----Kante----Jorginho----Chilwell Ziyech------------Havertz Werner

Havertz fuck sack

And as I say that we get 4.

We may have 3 but the same problems are still there

How is it only 3

Havertz should have a hattrick

Poor that

Saving Jorginho for Porto?

Yeah this front three should be utilized as our first choice so long as Pulisic's hamstrings say so.

Dear lord Zouma as the sweeper again.

Giroud I'm not so certain is leaving, and COVID still has played an incredible impact on most clubs in Europe. There is no way we sell either Pulisic or Ziyech for more than what we initially bought them for.
