And that is why Kepa will never be #1 here. Can't control his box.

Getting mugged off by the 13th placed club in the Championship

Starting all three of Grealish, Maddison, and Foden. Because that makes complete sense. Austin should get off FIFA

I think the most shocking thing about Cesc was that his legs completely blew out in a matter of months. After the 2015 title win, he was genuinely a turtle.

Thought there were pretty strong reports that Ramos + Messi to PSG in the summer was a done deal.

Whilst I appreciate Tuchel building the foundation first ahead of doing anything else, we desperately need to see the attack clicking soon. Werner looks to be back, now just need Ziyech, Pulisic, and Havertz to find their form again. Thursday the perfect opportunity to do so and to implement the 4-2-4 formation.

Rory Jennings probably feels that way

Haven’t even realized they were both out

I’d of started Ziyech/Havertz and Pulisic but good team.

Imagine the scenes should Arsenal overtake us.

Kepa Livramento---Tomori---Rudiger---Emerson Jorginho---Gilmour CHO----------Havertz---------Anjorin Tammy

That's just so fucking bad. Infuriating. Especially when you see experienced players in Kante and Silva ball watching. Shades of the beginning of Sarri's tenure when we were so open in midfield. At least Sarri addressed that issue immediately and had a game plan.

Merely playing to his strengths is what Lampard's rarely done.

Great title for a news article.

That's pretty good for a 21 year old player working under a manager that has Thou Shall Not Play a Through Ball as one of his 10 commandments. He should be doing more, but until we see more dimensions in how we transition and build up vs ping it wide and cross, I'll reserve judgement.

Mitch McConnell also played his part by denying Americans $2000 stimulus checks amid the vast number of unemployment due to the Covid impact. Anyone that was on the fence at that point went straight blue.

He's like Muller imo.

So essentially a 4231 with Havertz as a CF or CAM. I agree with you, but again, means nothing if Lampard wants to continue the pinging it out wide approach.

Or Lampard can coach his players to actually play through channels instead of pinging it wide every time... Bruno Fernandes and Salah have played more through balls than our entire team.

Hard to do that when the system only benefits one player. Giroud.

Christ, is this going to be another RLC League cup final vs City moment again? Let's not hold on to hope for a few seconds worth of 'brilliance'. Unlike Ruben, I believe Havertz will come good at some point as he's proved in the past. Needs to be doing more but not at the expense of an inexperienced manager.

We have an incredibly talented squad where an experienced manager could potentially steer the ship until the summer. Ultimately, I'm for the Benitez/Hiddink route for now. Tuchel, who I rate, I admit is a gamble and reports the club were already warned about him back in 2017. Lampard has proved he is well and truly out of his depth.

But United haven't lost since the Arsenal game....which was over 2 months ago. Agreed, anything can happen but what evidence suggests we will finish above any one of our rivals when they are all on course to finish higher than us?

Mate, I genuinely can't tell if you're taking the piss here? Liverpool, City, United, Leicester, and Spurs are on course to finish above 70 points. We are on course to finish well below that. We haven't beaten anyone currently above us, and we sit 9th. Add the fact we are getting progressively worse as each game passes with zero signs of progression, how do you genuinely expect us to finish Top 4? Which, you know, was the bare minimum for this season?
