It is early kickoff so we will have enough time to rest and prepare for Atletico. Plus we have big squad so 3,4 changes are hardly going to impact the quality of the team. City is cruising the league without Aguero and KDB. System is important. I mean put Mendy, Chilwell, James, Kante, Pulisic maybe Ziyech or Havertz if fit and that team is even better at least on paper. I think for Atletico we should definitely go with more experienced players like Giroud, Kante, Azpi.

Lets put it this way. If VAR was the thing back in the day I do not think they would won once of those 3 titles. Same goes for Pep in 2 CL titles in Barca. Your avatar is about one. Ok maybe Real once in first season when they had easy road to the final but then got lucky against Atletico with last second goal and penalties. 2 seasons after that they stole games from Bayern. In Spanish footy is always about Real vs Barca so one LaLiga in 3 season is hardly a success. Last season it was the fight who is more worse and Real won. No one deserved title. This season again and Atletico is using very well this situation.

I expected him to regress but he barely put foot wrong this season. Also, apart from City game he didn't play in any of our losses this season. Definitely RCB with 3 in the back is his best position.

They are under contract. This season is like rehearsal for all of them. They will all get chance. We are speaking for 3 most attacking positions on the pitch. Who delivers in terms of numbers and in the final 3rd will play.

This is overreaction. They played very bad lately and don't deserve to play. It is just a matter of time before they are back at top level.

Outrage over Kepa starting was funny to me. We have rotation for every position, why not GK? Made some good saves against Luton and Burnsley and today again. If you read this pages you will see people had zero issues with him in first season under Sarri. He can be that guy again under Tuchel. At least it is nice to have 2 solid GKs. Mendy had clean sheets lately but he didn't face anything yet under Tuchel unlike Kepa who did solid and deserves to play. Tuchel will help him to get his confidence back. This is great management. Lampard for instance after Kai scored het trick was completely left out week later against Spurs and we played that game 4231 which was best for him. Also after he scored and had assist against 4th division team he didn't start against Luton like week later. So Lamps didn't help him which is Tuchel doing now with Kepa.

After not playing in Cup I expected him to play today but clearly Alonso is ahead now. Rightly so.

Wow! Great performance. Could have easily had two assists but Tammy was clumsy and Werner missed a chance. Best player so far under Tuchel.

That is funny coming from the guy who was always optimistic under Lampard even when we were 2:0 down.

Reece nice 👍 Now we play 352

Pulisic and Ziyech not even a minute today 😅

Kepa great.

When you could score 5 goals in one half, opposition didn't gave you any trouble and you controlled everything it is great half for me.

Great half.

Lol I'm big Pulisic fan but he is very bad last couple of months. He has nothing to do with Jorginho and Kovacic. Different positions completely. He and Tuchel have great relationships as we saw on the touch line. Only has himself to blame for not playing.

Kova would have 2 assists already if our strikers are not useless.

Olie 😍

Great play from Olie and Alonso. But Timo...

Kova now every game with world class long balls.

My only surprise is Chilwell. Why he didn't start in Cup if he was not planned for tonight?

Surely Soucek and Gundogan will make team of the season?

Fulham draw 8 of the last 11 PL games.

But Chilwell is not playing good for 3 months. Against Wolves he and Ziyech were very bad. This is the guy who lost place in LC lineup last season.
