How much game time Billy had? Gallagher or someone else can easily cover that role in the stands. If anything now with Jorginho and Kante being ballon d'or candidates and Kova doing good they established their place in team even further. Even if we sign guy from Monaco for example he would struggle to get game time.

We didn't do anything because everything is related to Haaland deal. Everyone is fine with signing just him this summer because it's such a big fee. If we know Haaland deal is off I imagine Rice or guy from Monaco would be here by now.

Henderson is decent keeper. Back 4: AWB, Varane, Maguire, Shaw. Probably best defense in the league if you dont count us but we play with 5. I heard now that they plan to replace Pogba with Saul so Bruno, Saul and dont know who is going to be 3rd guy? I like McTominay but not sure any of them is DM which they need. Cavani, Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood, James and Martial is attack that should provide goals but nothing crazy. Ironically they are Haaland and Rice (I dont rate him and dont want him here but for their boring football he should be fine) away from not having any weak links.

Pretty sure Roman promised him Haaland on the pitch in Porto after CL final.

For such a low fee, do not understand why many other top teams are not after him? For Mbappe I guess everyone is aware that he wants only Real.

After Conte winning title we spent close to 200m for 6 players. Plus 3 more in January. Many of them have been flops but that is different topic. And for now, TT wants a striker and club is doing everything in their power to secure most exciting striker in the last decade or even more... Not to mention he is going to be one of the most expensive players ever.

Doesn't matter. This is so rare, maybe some kind of a record. Top teams play every summer against these teams and they get high wins but one player scoring 7 goals? In just 35 mins? Amazing! After all I think Spurs got knocked out by 4th division team lately.

Vlahovic scored 7 goals today in 35 mins 😱

Surprised by no interest in Zouma from other PL teams.

After we drop 150m, Haaland will push for the move when he realises that Jorginho is not any younger (30 later this year) so he would want one extra year to play with prime Jorginho 😎

In the last 8 games for Norway he scored just once in friendly. And all games have been against shit teams. He is definitely dependable on service behind.

Since we continue with this formation most expected is this: Haaland Mount Havertz Another option: Werner Haaland Havertz My favourite: Haaland Pulisic Havertz

On the beach.

This is good question and next season will tell if we bring him. But TT also wanted Hakimi. In games I mentioned above I dont think he would help us that much. Because: My big hope is Kai playing behind Haaland and delivering in terms of creativity. Ziyech should also be much better. Ben and Reece can be useful if Haaland is good with head which I dont know.

Yes, CL title changes everything but if you look only PL, Conte in first season won 93 points. 49 in first part of the season and 44 in second part. TT 38 points which is 76 full season if he did the same. Conte in 2nd season 70 but also won Fa Cup. But again RDM also won CL. So this season will tell a lot. Less than 85 points with this squad is not acceptable for Tommy.

My examples are almost 50% of games under Thomas. If you remember these games or watch them again you will see the struggles. I never said a bad word about him, sacking Lamps was such a relieve and he improved us massively from day one plus delivered biggest trophy. Big fan of him. But we need to point out at struggles, it was not ideal. With Ben and Reece as wing backs and MM as one of the 3 attackers we had pragmatic approach with 9 players you dont expect to score. Tactics was to nick 1:0 wins with amazing defense which we did successfully many times. This is something I would like him to change next season and to put at least 4 offensive players because I dont think it can work in long run.

We may created many chances when you count half chances, set pieces and everything possible which these stats do but I remember many, many games where we struggled to do anything. If team has 2 or 3 shots on target that cannot be a good game offensively. Wolves first game, what was our best chance? Spurs away, just 2 shots on target but not really good chances, won the game after the penalty. So that is one shot and the other is CHO attempt from 25m... SU away after also penalty needed and 3 shots on target, overall created very little. Barnsley game after in Fa Cup, just one shot on target, only goal. Southampton 1:1 again pen only goal, created nothing. Atletico away, was solid performance but again created shit from open play, Olie wonder goal saved us. United, Porto 2nd game, Brighton, LC in final... LC at home in round 37 again corner and pen needed for goals. Even Arsenal at home 0:1 Kai missed sitter but that came after Arse defense mistake. We struggled in all these games to create something from open play. I agree we created a lot in Madrid for example, Liverpool, Leeds and some other games where we should score much more and converting the chances was a problem. But this is 12 out of 29 games under TT where we struggled to create badly from open play. Not sure how good we were in WH, Porto first game, SU in Cup wins either. WBA and AV losses were weird games and different things decided. So yeah, we are not really creative team from midfield and wing backs under Tuchel. Far from it.

Dont expect players who came yesterday to be involved here.

From Dortmund POV not only I would sell but I would be really excited to have +200m pounds in this market. They lost all money last season for always sold out Westfalen. Malen is already there. So many great players available for low prices, with just one year left on contract many of them. Aouar, Vlahovic, Zouma, Kostic, Kabak, Abraham, Ginter, Sule, Zakaria, Corona, Kamara, Belotti, Lacazette, Romagnoli, Milenkovic, Cantwell, Di Maria, Boga, Bakayoko, Tolisso, Isco, Emerson... They could bring back Dembele. They could possibly buy 7 or 8 players and make really strong team. So many options, they just need to be creative with Haaland/Sancho money.

Package absolutely makes sense tho. It was expected number. Potentially 150m pounds for Dortmund. Or 65m next summer. They'd be very stupid to decline. They already sold Sancho under the market price. So from potentially 250m pounds for both no chance they lose them for just 135-140m. Haaland is coming 🤩

Mangiante confirmed that tweet.

'with the chances Tuchel's team create game after game', is most controversial.

TT: Even I cannot make players out of you guys.

Palace is making very interesting team. I think they will play with 3 atb if they get all targets. Kabak, Andersen and Guehi. Gallagher in MF with some of the guys they already have. Some solid GK options as well. Zaha and Eze are deadly from flanks. So they would need to sort wing backs and striker to be very solid team.
