No one should write off a player after one season, especially one as absurd as this.

Liverpool will likely offload Matip as he and Gomez are far too injury prone. Reckon they are in the race as well.

4-4-2 narrow, which Tuchel has played before. (as if we are getting Haaland) DM Mount----Kovacic Havertz Haaland --- Werner

😂 I'd love to see you post with this much confidence when we start playing a back 4 again. The system will be found out. It's the very reason why Tuchel isn't strict on one formation. Come next season once teams have figured out how to suss our formation, Tuchel goes to a back 4 + Silva out injured, will you still optimistic then? We may have won titles with that formation but it wasn't sustainable, as the very next season proved. Cahill was 26 and premier league proven. Guehi and Ampadu are 20 and the latter still doesn't have a full premier league season under his belt. Also, you remember the very next season once DiMatteo tried to play progressive football vs protecting our back line? Shambles.

A championship level CB and a CB playing for a relegated premier league club going to solve our defensive woes? Tuchel, will, not if, will go to a back 4 at some point once our formation is sussed out. As it inevitably will. NO ONE, bar Silva, can play in a back 4.

Yeah bit of Essien similarities.

Yeah he was rapid

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I admit, Guehi does look impressive. Thing with Konate despite his injuries, is his reading of the game. His tackle rate is incredibly low because of it. He has however avoided any injuries this season due to muscular imbalances, so there's hope there. I want Konate and Guehi a loan move to a prem side.

I don't think there is balance in that attack. All three like the ball at their feet and tonight showed Havertz needs space to have his free role of creator and focal point. Werner and CHO stayed wide and through the channels, Mount will undoubtedly come through the middle. I genuinely don't think one or the other can play together in attack, but its worth a punt.

Skeptical about both Mount and Havertz being in an attacking lineup, but it deserves a go. He's missing chances but shit performance? Think many of you are forgetting how awful Morata was. As poor as Werner has been in the third, we aren't playing with 10 men with him on the pitch. Tuchel's system is incredibly dependent on ball retention, and Werner + Mount are arguably our best players not named Kante in regards to pressing.

There's still a worry in my head Havertz + Mount can't work in an attacking lineup, much less the latter being an influential player in the final third. Tricky. Mount needs to play, but I want to see more of the Werner/CHO/Havertz front three.

Werner, Havertz, and CHO was probably the most fluid front three we've seen so far under Tuchel. Ziyech and Pulisic have done nothing to warrant starting over Werner. I'm still against Mount involved in our attack. Tonight was another display why.

He's pretty much become a key clog in our press right now, which has been the basis of how we've managed to control games under Tuchel. I don't think he's done much wrong other than his decision making in the third. He's also our only direct attacker given CHO, Ziyech, and Pulisic like the ball at their feet. And there again likes the basis of our biggest issue, the latter two not performing. What have Pulisic and ZIyech done to warrant themselves starting over Werner?

This along with Spurs are arguably the games where Mount has to be #1st name on the team sheet. Mendy Azpilicueta---Christensen---Rudiger CHO-------------Jorginho-------Kovacic------------Chilwell Mount Havertz----Werner

Incredibly debatable. And I thought out of all of our attacking combinations, Havertz, Werner and CHO looked the most fluid.

Because he offers a lot more than just scoring now.

I want him to start utilising Mount deeper. Would love to see at some point. Mendy Azpilicueta----Thiago Silva-----Christensen James-----------Mount-----Kovacic---------Chilwell CHO---------------Werner Havertz

Screw Haaland. We have our ST.

Havertz gets sandwiched, no foul. Allan trips himself moments later, ref gives the foul.

Left side is dead with Alonso and Zouma

Massive performance from Kai needed. 👊

One thing that desperately needs reminding is how average all of our CB's are in a back 4 (bar Silva). Not going to let this change in system that protects our back line immensely, sway my perception again. Some could even be argued are mid table level. An Elite CB is still needed, preferably Konate. Sell Zouma. Keep those on loan still on loan.

Against a high line. Won't see anything like that tonight.

I don’t think they’ll press us.
