He had months to sort this out. It's on him and only him. Not once did he reiterate to Boehly his desire to add quality to midfield. Only after the Leeds match.

Which makes him a good fit for us, no? I like Alvarez simply because he has something we desperately need in midfield. Alvarez partnering Kovacic make since.

But Ajax play a progressive system, no? If he is the 'glue' to their team, how do they have a DM who isn't comfortable on the ball a component to their progressive and attacking football?

I just want Jorginho off the pitch. Saints 2nd goal is giving me nightmares.

Unbelievable we had 2.5 months to address it and nothing. This transfer window will either be a 6/10 or a 9/10. We need that CM to decide.

Good

This wouldn't happen against any DM in the Top 6. We are so far behind the back its pathetic.

Because we have a manager that implements this.

And to think I had hopes we'd still be above Liverpool. We are a joke.

Pep will go down as the greatest of all time once he is finished. Especially if he wins a CL with City.

Bakayoko 2.0

Alvarez on the scoresheet now as well. City have two quality STs whilst we have Havertz and his 1 goal in 15 matches.

@Tomo still believe we will finish ahead of Arsenal and Spurs?

Good thing we have Lukaku.

Thank fuck for that would've genuinely lost my mind had he been a CB.

Of course defence was the priority but when you analyse last season, we struggled mostly due to Kante and Kova being out vs the wingbacks being unavailable. The midfield is incredibly weak and has been weak for years. Another CB 😂

We had the chance to sign Tchouameni last summer both both Tuchel and the club prioritised Lukaku. We then brought in Saul instead. We then again had the chance to sign a midfielder that January and now this summer window, and again Tuchel didn't deem it a priority.

Which I understand but at the same time he hasn't addressed the midfield crises since he's been here. 2 seasons now. Considering that, he obviously values them to a higher esteem than the fans which could turn out to be a costly mistake.

Its incredibly how much he praises Jorginho and Kovacic + Kante despite the severe flaws all three of them have. The latter two have no end product and are injury prone, the former a complete liability off the ball and is primarily responsible for the slow possession play.

Wow. If no midfielder is brought in than Tuchel deserves to be sacked if our midfield continues to look poor. And it will.

Give me Zaha. Zaha, Sterling, Broja front three.

Can he play midfield?

Havertz at LW over and over and over again. Can’t shoot, can’t beat a man, can’t run the channels, can’t hold the ball, can’t win 50/50s. So done with Tuchel and his persistence on the matter.

We got Marko Marin’ed. Big time.

Like a deep rooted curse.
