Krasnodar won just 18 from possible 36 points this season in Russian PL. Mid table. They have some Swedish players. Today they lost 1:3 to Spartak and Moses scored against them. Should be easy. Also this one will have crowd.

Are not Mendy, Silva and Chilwell starting enough to fix our defense without changing our approach to games? I think we look better in defense because they played not because Frank needed to change something. We kept clean sheet with them against Palace unlike WBA and Southampton because they played and we had the same approach in those games.

Felix Brych was sent home from World Cup in Russia after this... It costed us elimination and today was even worse foul.

Frank is mad because Kova won POTY and not Mount

He played for PSG last season regularly in the league and in the CL midweek. Why is now different? Plus in this two games we will have like 70% possession so it will be like training to him. He had his rest against Southampton. CB position is not demanding in these type of games at all. When we are up 0:2 or 0:3 early in the second half we can make a change.

https://streamable.com/yafuo1 Scored on a debut. I heard if they get CL this season they will sign him for 10m.

Are we that impatient? He is midfielder who gives you 20 goals per season. This is so rare. He is been played out of position today and in first two games against Brighton and Pool. In other games he had 4 goals, one assist and one penalty won. But yes he is a slow starter, not on 50% yet. Last season with Bayer he had 3 goals and 1 assist from August to January but from late January till end of the season he added 15 goals and 8 assists in just 24 games. None of our front 4 has been great this season but I expect them to step up in the coming weeks.

4-2-3-1. Mendy, James, Chris, Silva, Chilwell, Kovacic, Jorginho, Havertz, CHO, Ziyech, Giroud. I hope we put to bad this game early so Silva, Chilwell, Kai get some rest in the second half. Werner needs rest, CHO deserves a chance, just like Olie and Hakim should have his first start. Kante not needed. I expect us to have +70% possession so this is why I put Chris over better defenders like Zouma. Time for a first win after int. break.

Sevilla another loss.

Finally 💙

3 clean sheets with Mendy, Silva, Zouma, Chilwell. I think that problem is solved. But offensively we are shit now.

Mendy another motm performance!

Go forward ffs!

Mount lost the ball again in dangerous area.

Exactly my thoughts. I give up.

Like Mourinho in that league opener with KDB.

What is interesting. Rudiger on the bench ahead of Chris and Tomori.

Fucking Timo selfish! Pulisic was alone.

Kante is such a disappointment.

Pulisic also still not on his last season level.

Silva knows Cavani anyway.

I wonder when Atkinson see this penalty on TV does he get angry to people in VAR room for not telling him?

And when you think for how much less Real Madrid got penalty today.

You want to play this formation and tactics? You play Giroud, otherwise it's pointless.

Unbelievable!
