You mean X?

What were you doing in Serbia lol

He has clause just 35m so won't be a issue. Anyways, I hope City beat us in this race.

Only City guarantees titles and they did try to get him a couple of years ago but that ship has sailed. Why would he come here with no CL and so much uncertainty. He's been criticized for staying in Spurs too long and not winning anything so teams like Bayern and PSG make most sense for him.

Just realized we gonna lose him for over one month mid season because of AFCON. Same if we buy Kudus.

Even prime Sterling wouldn't have a chance against Saka, Grealish, Foden and current Rashford. He should not delude himself.

Broja will also go on loan I think. And Maatsen loan or sell.

I just watched the game. He did very well. Paid attention to him. Don't understand critics during the game. I feel he is scapegoat like Alonso before for no reason. Unfair. From what I saw so far in 2 games all Gallagher, Casadei and Santos deserve to stay with Enzo and Caicedo. 6th MF will be attacking one like Kudus. 3 of those 6 players should always be on the pitch. Pretty much everyone thought Nkunku would be AM in 4231 but cannot see it after first two games. He is goalscorer, exclusively final third player. When he is on with Jackson, he will play winger I think. We thought we don't have numbers in MF just a couple of days ago but all of them impressed so after we buy Caicedo I don't see a reason to even think about Lavia. With no European football we need to be careful with numbers. 11 players for 6 positions is perfect. 3 MF spots we have Enzo, Caicedo, Santos, Casadei, Gallagher. 3 attacking positions we have Jackson, Nkunku, Sterling, Mudryk and Madueke. Plus Kudus who will occupy both areas. So he fits like a glove. Hopefully we wrap Caicedo and Kudus next week and that's it. After that only need to think about Kepa competition and maybe new CB because of Fofana injury. Broja, Chuck, Hall, Moreira all need to go on loan. Angelo as well because of work permit. Not sure about Maatsen. Cannot see him getting minutes here. Interesting in later part of the game how Cucurella moved to DM area when we were attacking hence why assist. Good game a lot of positives. Just a friendly but first win against Brighton after 5 games.

Unfortunately, I can see Angelo going on loan to Strasbourg being one of the best players in Ligue1, performing every week while we are stuck with Sterling who will just continue from last season. But on a positive note, Mudryk will start as LW, Kudus as RW, Madueke sub there and Nkunku can occupy that positions as well so hopefully we won't see much Sterling.

Why numbers had different colour in first game?

I mean, after the game finish, can I watch it somewhere?

Link so I can watch game now? @Vesper

Maybe I'm drunk... but I don't see a point to continue as a football club if we sell Gallagher. What a gem...and proper Chelsea.

Just come back from Saturday night out. What did I miss?

Double digits goals in Holland. 4 CL goals, 2 WC goals... Constant goal threat, I'm sure he would take RW starting spot easily. Sterling is shit and Madueke is nowhere near that level either.

6th place is not really a mid table tho. I'm sure he means about manager.

We won't report them for tapping Colwill not to break relationship before Caicedo transfer.

Apparently Al Hilal offered 200m to PSG plus 400m for Mbappe salary for a season. 600m cost all together and he walks on free next summer.

Just before this game tonight we can watch thriller Havertz vs Mount.

We play them in 48h I'm sure there will be f2f talks and this is where we should expect agreement.

I also always feel empty after one night stand.

They were top6 last season. If you look table last half season only City won more points. Top4 in last 25 games of 38. Basically with Emery they are there. Pau Torres, Tielemans and Diaby. They strengthen every line with 3 great players for just around 70-75m pounds.

Because PSG and Vlahovic also not likely at the moment. They want Oshimen or Muani.

Don't expect Caicedo in this one. First minutes for some other players like Kepa, Mudryk... Change our kit James 😠

Could not ask for better first pre season game. So many youngsters impressed. And there is definitely big hope Poch can work wonders and turn around what we saw last season especially from certain players like Gallagher for example. New guys Jackson, Nkunku looked great. Maatsen, Casadei impressive. Santos will be that player that does all the dirty work that may be invisible to some viewers. Moreira and Angelo great talent, give them a couple of years. Conor great goal and a couple of great passes. Cannot judge defense, did not have anything to do. Chuk biggest disappointment, loan or sell. Was always a weird buy from Villa for 20m.
