Isn’t really that vague when you read the past page. We aren’t held back because we are losing Drinkwater/Bakayoko, and dozens of loan players that’ll never kick a ball for us. We are held back because we are losing Hazard. My point is that if those 6 players, players Lampard will undoubtably utilise, show their worth, they can fill the void Hazard left.

@Vesper I’m speaking in terms of influence and how it’ll impact the side. Not one of those players bar maybe Zappacosta influenced the team. We are losing Hazard and bringing in 6 players where if everything goes right, could all take the influence Hazard had, distributed among them. At the very worst, we would stand still as a team.

Who

Out: Hazard In: Batshuayi, Tammy, Pulisic, Mount, Janes, Tomori/Zouma

Because we are at a point where football has evolved where even CB’s need to be technically gifted. All top clubs have ball playing CB’s, and it’s actually embarrassing how poor Zouma is on the ball. I almost had a heart attack when Reading’s strikers were pressuring him. Reading...

Jorginho

No

What a troll

Kepa Dave/Christensen/Luiz/Emerson Kovacic/Jorginho Pulisic/Mount/Barkley Tammy

Lautaro is bloody quality. Easily Argentina’s best performer at the Copa and hell of a first season in Europe. Can see him Barca bound to replace Suarez

Khedira to Arsenal for free. They are having a great window should they land their targets.

Really hope Lampard isn't planning Luiz+Zouma as the starting pair. So many mistakes waiting to happen.

I would've played Pedro 1st half in the wings and Pulisic this half behind the strikers.

Lazy from Kovacic. I'd say all 3 goals we've conceded have just come from lazy/careless play. Best way to get it out of the way is in pre-season.

Exactly why i'm afraid of Zouma playing for us

Pulisic really is a tidy player. Great touch and intelligence on the ball. Fantastic dribbler. End product is the only real concern. Off the ball, our press is the only real highlight of the performance. On the ball, still very poor, which is mainly down to personal. Relied on individual brilliance for the goals.

Despite the goal, Kenedy needs to leave. His overall game is so poor.

Bakayoko needs to retire

Horrific double pivot. And we thought the Mikel+Ramires pivot was bad.

Fee agreed and medical pending for move to United

People are honestly forgetting how solid the Holding+Sokratis partnership was. Arsenal sort their left back (which they will) and Bellerin comes back, they have a massive case to finish top 4

They won, and even beat City, their preseason friendlies last year as well.

Just got bullied by McTominay

This was during a time many of us, myself included, got caught up in the whole Mourinho work rate > technical ability hype. Oscar+Ramires > Mata + KDB Willian > Salah

Some may argue that the fact Poch has won fuck all is because he never sticks with a philosophy
