If we do get Havertz I hope he's operated at ST. I genuinely think Mount at CAM is vital in our build up. He will get the ball to the feet of Ziyech, Werner, and Havertz quicker.

As of now, a comfortable top 4 finish and a trophy expected for next season. However, expectations can change. We win every game in the league, plus the FA Cup, and/or our rivals fail to strengthen next season whilst we get Chilwell and Havertz, I think its safe to say we should be expecting a title challenge.

All of them are. They are doing something virtually every game

Rudiger + Christensen vs technical/speedy attackers. Rudiger/Tomori + Zouma vs Strong aggressive attackers.

Moreso #2. I remember in the Ancelotti era, Terry, Drogba, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Ballack, etc. We were abysmal at marking set pieces.

Give it time. He'll grow into the game. I'm more worried about him being in an advanced role vs his natural regista role

Mount/Gilmour/Kante is actually the lineup I'd like us to see moving forward against the top sides.

Unless its fitness issues I cannot see why Jorginho isn't playing

Let them enjoy it. This is virtually the highest point they will experience with Klopp. All downhill from here.

His end product is fantastic. Lampard definitely improved him on that regard. If he stays fit, (knock on wood), he could develop into a player like Hazard, but more ruthless in front of net.

It'll be us and United. Their fans have already accepted defeat.

I'd like to win it just to keep the streak of averaging a trophy a season in the Roman era.

This. Kante cannot be the lone wolf there

Lampard has something to do with improving his end product. Virtually had none at Dortmund.

The point is we royally shithoused that game and were fortunate City imploded. Kante cannot be the lone DM and it was yet again proven tonight.

We owe a lot to Fernandinho, Mendy and Gundogan doing everything they could to prevent City getting out of first gear. Some of Lampard's decisions today were bizarre. Gilmour on for 5 seconds and already put Pedro through on.

City finally getting out of 1st gear

So you're contempt with shithousery? I'm glad were winning but if this is what we will do moving forward against the big sides, I will worry. City's mistakes the only difference.

Right, well when we see the countless hoofing and inability to string 3 passes together tonight, let's revisit this post.

I think the point is having a midfield with both Kante and Jorginho. Kovacic included as he is a combination

We are genuinely going to be outclassed in midfield and I look forward to the surprise pikachu esq comments from those thinking this would work.

Cool, we have Kante who can defend. Who exactly in that midfield will actually allow us to retain possession and transition the ball without hoofing it?

Im going to save this post and I will reply back to it after the match.

Desperately want to get inside Lamaprd's head right now. Not having both Jorginho and Kovacic essentially forfeits our ability to retain the ball. Remember this post here lads.

I think both Frank and the millions of people that think Kante can play as a lone DM, will get big reality check tonight.
