McGinn, Grealish, Luiz > Jorginho, Kante, Mount. How sad is that Villa have much better MF?

Best front three for the first time I think since Sevilla 0:4. Ziyech is missing yes, but I think he should play number 8 because we do not have any good ones.

It is good for us in the long run because Frank will be gone.

Hahahahahaha

Lol

You have the power And I mean great chance for him.

One season wonder? I guess his price is much cheaper now.

Manchester derby in semi final. So Spurs likely in the final. Mourinho always wins trophies. This is great chance.

Luiz and Willian know everything about us and Lampard's style so no chance we surprise them tactically. We will hope for individual quality to make the difference as usual.

It's not that, against Aston Villa we will face best player in the world.

You will double your money on our win. So if you are so sure you can make a fortune.

I agree. Not only stylistically but also statistically. I am sure some will see this as hating on him as always but can we really say he is the real deal for the future? Many, including pundits and Frank speak like he will 100% be starter for Chelsea and England in the next decade. But to be that he must improve massively in the final 3rd. After he scored 4 goals in his first 8 games for Chelsea I thought he is going to be easily that 10-15 goals per season MF. But in the next 65 games for us he scored just 5. That is on average 1 goal per 13 games. And one is DDG howler and one is free kick. Also he is great set piece taker, 6 of his 10 assists are corners and free kicks. But from open play not so much. So maybe thinking of him as attacking midfielder was a mistake? This season if you take away corners he would have 1 goal and 0 assists in the PL. This is Kova level numbers or Essian like Tomo said. I did not used any forums back than so maybe same of you can say what was a general opinion about Oscar in his first two years here? His numbers (same age as Mount when started at Chelsea): 12/13: 12g 12a 13/14: 11g 10a Also Mount played 14 CL games: 0g 1a. Oscar in his first 14 CL games for Chelsea had 6g and 6a. In his first 2 seasons here Oscar also delivered numbers against top teams like Juve, Spurs, Arse, Liverpool, UTD... Can Mount deliver against top opponents? So far he played 19 games against top6 teams and has 1g - DDG howler and 1a - Leno howler after FK. So Mount and Kova at the moment look better than Kai but we are never going to reach heights with them as number 8 duo because they do not produce enough. I mentioned Oscar because we know how that ended.

I agree. We had reports that Haaland will likely leave in 2022. So what do we do if we want to wait for him? Do we go with just Timo and Tammy next season? Olie is out of contract and I imagine it will be really hard to find 3rd striker for just one season. I think Giroud should get one year contract extension. Not sure he would accept it? But he likes London and may retire from int. football after Euro so why not?

Pretty sure Lamps decided that Alonso will never play again after WBA.

I know Mount and Werner were ahead but from now on only Pulisic playing ahead of him as LW in acceptable.

CF or winger I can only imagine what would Giroud or Abraham or even CHO get if they didn't score 9 games with so many open chances.

What if we play like today for 75 minutes and Arsenal play their usual game. Is this going to be even watchable? Also Silva can't play two times in 48h. Aston Villa attack is much better than Arsenal's.

No excuses not to beat this Arsenal side comfortably. I said 9 points before City and Villa is way more dangerous to stop this goal. Don't forget two games in 48 hours. Rotation needed!

Is it storm in London? We lost picture on TV.

Wish we have 5 subs to introduce CHO, Giroud and Kai.

We need miracle to win here.

Werner is laughable in every aspect of the game.

Lol just realised Abraham is playing.

Werner again 🤦‍♂️
