Today was the great chance to fix goal difference on Juve and we failed. In the last round we also have more difficult match in Russia. They play at home against Malmo. So to finish 1st we need to beat them with 2.
Both goals in injury time. Also late wins against Wolves, WH, Villarreal, Atalanta... They are shit but without those goals they would be even more. I dont mind, let Ole stay, they are out in round of 16 or QF for sure.
I see he is still most criticized player in game thread and among fan base...
But to be fair to him he started last 3 games and somehow delivered... Assist against Southampton for only goal, against Newcastle scored great goal but disallowed because of offside and hit the post so was unlucky not to score there... And today scored only goal... Just like CHO played part in goals... Was not this our biggest problem? Lukaku is 100m striker who did not scored in last 7 games he played... Mount went almost 6 months without goal before Norwich... Havertz is missing a lot of chances... So Hakim deserves some credit and to start more games just like CHO...
Damn, tremendous player. This season he played minutes equal to 5 games. Already got 2 assists, especially the one against Norwich was impressive when Mount scored he did everything and deserves 99% credit for that goal.
Today robbed for 2 assists by Kai. His shot against Newcastle led to Reece goal... Against Zenit should got easy goal but Lukaku was selfish in the last minute... So much influence in very limited minutes.
And he just started and will only get better. Deserves to start more often than not. TT will get best out of him.
Guys like SMS and Tielemans were mentioned before because we wanted MF who is good in the final 3rd, well we got that with Ruby. Plus Kova improved a lot, already on 1g and 5a this season.
Not necessarily in double pivot because Kova, Jorgi and Kante are also all playing great, today for example he left Jorginho alone and went further so when we play 3412 he should be starter as AM without a doubt.
He delivers again... He got run of games like never before... Malmo sub in first half got assist, scored against Norwich, played as RWB against Southampton which should not happen anymore, against Newcastle had great game, played big part in first goal... And now again. This is what you want from an attacker. And he is still just 20. Another start against Burnley please. Has pace, dribbling, creativity...
It's in February.
Also about Saul I don't see much sense to play him over actual Chelsea players like RLC. It's pretty much clear we won't buy him in fact we can send him back to Madrid in January.
