It looks like we are movingly to different system that actually have wingers so it would suit Pulisic better. Not sure where would Timo play plus he seems most likely to push for a move due unhappiness.

Selling Werner for 40m and getting Dembele for free is good job imo

I watch Australian Open every night. Tried to watch AFCON but it is horrid.

Juve and Fiorentina found agreement for Vlahovic. 67m euros + bonuses. When there is a good player in Fiorentina he always ends up in Juve.

Lock him already, not only that he is our maybe best player last 12 months but you also need big personalities like that.

Great for Gallagher as well.

After TT, in a year or two, absolutely. Utd has no chance this summer because he will not drop WC.

Great business. Got him for free, we will get at least 20m maybe more for him after recent good games.

This is what he said after the game about formation and Ziyech. This is what happens when he finally plays on best position. I think we are switching to 4atb permanently. “We tried a 4-1-4-1 formation today because we tried a 4-4-2 against them in the first match and that gave us an advantage but then they reacted to it in the second match. “[We] had the players for the formation, players in shape, players who wanted and should be on the pitch, and good positions for them. [We] thought it could give us solutions to escape the high pressing, put the game in the opponent’s half, and have a bit more width without having wing backs [to] cause them problems. “[Now] it gives us another option so well done.” “It was one of [Ziyech’s] best matches today because he was very reliable. It was also maybe his best position to be on the wing. We had the wide position on the right wing, that position does not normally exist in that particular manner when we play 3-4-3, it is more of a wing back. “Maybe we can think about doing this. It was good because it gave him the opportunity to take risks where it was possible to take risks. He was very reliable on the ball in moments where it is necessary. The work rate was always outstanding. You can always rely on him on work rate and counter-pressing. So yes, well done and he needs to keep on going like everyone else.”

FFS!

FFS no break for Silva, he will play for Brazil on January 27th and February 1st. Still give him at least 5 days off after that, he can miss Plymouth and get match fitness against Al Hilal on February 9th.

First time since TT is here Hakim started 3 PL games in a row. With Frank also just once he had 4 starts in a row. Apart from that never more than two. Tbh he was never given run of games. His return in Chelsea is actually very solid considering this: 12g 8a in 3381 mins (minutes equal to 37,5 games).

There is also this interview where he says: I will never say Neymar and Killian what to do, they will find solutions... So from this I take that attackers pretty much have free roles when attacking.

24 games for United against big 6 in all comps. 1 goal and now 9 more for Chelsea with just one against Arsenal.

Why? It's just a flight like anywhere else in Europe. We will do full rotation for both games Plymouth and Al Hilal. Actually we will use those games to get players match fit after the break.

One week off now. I bet majority of players are off to Dubai 🤣

14 games so far this season against top10 teams on table. Best goalscorer Silva with 3 goals.

Spurs didn't score against Kepa this season in 4 games.

He is giving them a treatment.

He is not part of our best 11.

Maestro Mr. ZIYECH!!

Only Conor Gallagher can beat City.
