You guys remember Rudiger, Jorginho, Giroud under Lampard? He watched them every single day in training and decided to freeze them. And remember what Tuchel did with them in the same season? One become arguably best CB in the world, other was UEFA player of the year and last one was scoring in every opportunity he got.

We need to do everything in our power to get rid of Felix, Nkunku and couple of others so we can pay 80m for Duran.

Neymar and Al Hilal it's over.

Nkunku used to score hat trick against much better City team at Etihad. It's either he is much worse player now or we don't know how to use him and system is the problem.

For me biggest problem is apparently we want long term manager for long term project. So why we didn't give 2 or 3 seasons to Potter and Poch? Both actually showed signs of improvement before we let them go. Now Maresca says plan is top 4 next season and in 3rd season fighting for title. But we are in 3rd season now?! Why changing managers every season and back to square one? Now we may sack Enzo and next manager will need a couple of seasons 😂

Santos also scored again. 5 points away from CL now.

Not many teams can lose against City. This is embarrassing.

Optimistic now. This is our best 11 available. City lineup doesn't have much pace and 2 new players plus some players out of position. Won't settle for a draw. We can create 5 points gap over City and come just one point behind 3rd place and Nottingham.

For that league draw against Arsenal yes. Jackson finishing let us down in Cups against Liverpool in final and City in semi final last season. Mount in 2022 also.

Both. But there were reports Chelsea is planning to utilize him as AM. I mean similar to Palmer. He was also winger before.

So next season we can expect something like this: LW Sancho and Garnacho RW Neto and Madueke AM Palmer and Estevao CF Jackson and new striker Nkunku, Felix and Mudryk out. Guiu and Paez loans for a couple of years.

New board has been extremely successful in offloading players. Remember Lukaku? Saudi deals? Great money for Hutchinson, Maatsen, Hall, Mount, Havertz...

Last time we won against City was in 2021. Same with Liverpool and Arsenal. It's 2025 ffs! Almost 4 years without a win against top3 English clubs.

With losing Veiga and Casadei we are out of options for LB and midfield. Who will play Conference League and backups there?

Just what we need. Another Enzo.

Where are people who said we won't get striker?

Just blowjob? Not worth it...

I would be optimistic if we have 2 midfielders available. But only Caicedo?

Not only Chalobah. Same would happen in GK area with Kepa and Petrovic. Two best goalkeepers on our payroll are on loan. How crazy is that?

That's a bad thing? You watched Yes Man with Jim Carrey?

3 young CBs. Clearly for the future.

We are. 8 seasons without fighting for a title. Since Roman bought a club over 20 years ago CL place was pretty much guaranteed thing and we were never happy with just that. In his era 2003-2022 we missed CL just once. Now on a verge 3 in 3.

City just beat 2 teams that will most likely be relegated in Leicester and Ipswich plus West Ham not much better. Just a couple of days ago they draw with Brentford. Next 6 they have: Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Spurs and Nottingham. Let's see how many points they collect there.

Bournemouth is serious team.
