  1. This guy really is just the midfield version of Cahill. Wow.
  2. They’re both of the same ilk, that’s why Jose could tell. Two of the most pragmatic managers in the world.
  3. Guy is actually happy to have lost against City, because we didn’t lose by 3/4 goals. I’m tired man.
  4. Make sure you copy the direct link of the tweet. Then paste it in here and it should automatically embed into a viewable tweet.
  5. We had a week to prepare for this. City just played a few days on Thursday against Arsenal. Shambolic.
  6. I don’t even think he deserves that. Just give a new manager a go/chance to do something with the 1-1 result. Let the new manager weed out the dead wood early so he knows what we need in the summer. Of course this won’t happen.
  7. Absolute coward. His tactical ideas are excruciating to watch (Hazard F9/long ball Target Man role, just don’t understand it). He isn’t that interested anymore clearly, he’s off by the end of the season. I say just get rid now.
  8. Yeah, he’s publicly resigned to this sort of mentality we’re showing for ages. We should just cut our losses now and try and salvage whatever we have left this season. It’s clear he’s not staying beyond this season.
  9. Think it’s time for Conte to go, clearly doesn’t care too much about the season any more. He’s completely given up and it’s clear that’s translated to the players.
  10. There’s a logical reason as to why imo. Torres came with the reputation of being one of the deadliest strikers on the planet (could argue that he was the best striker in the world in his prime) whereas Morata does not have the sort of rep and has a lot more to prove. Given that, I’ve always said that he should be allowed a season or so to bed in anyway so it’s not a shock to see him struggling atm.
  11. As the saying goes - you create your own luck. We didn’t invest into the team correctly and ultimately that’s the reason why we crossed those fine lines between winning and drawing/losing. If we had better overall quality we’d definitely win the last two games.
  12. Would not include Giroud in your post, he was only on the pitch for what, 10 minutes? How can you blame him or his signing on the result? He was bought to provide a nice reliable back up for Morata and so far he’s done all right. 1 goal and 3 assists so far isn’t that bad (considering he should probably be on 3 goals).
  13. Yeah it was, by Lukaku is still well on his way to scoring probably 30 in all comps this season with around 10 assists. That’s a respectable output. I’m afraid Morata won’t even hit 20 goals this season.
  14. In the same seat sort of. Always said we should give him a season to bed in. Next season we’ll truly see what he’s made of. Things aren’t looking great at the moment after a really good start though.
  15. All that Lukaku slander about how Morata is definitely much better than him and here we are, in a very important fixture... Romelu had a quiet game but still finished with a goal and assist.
  16. Go as far to say that based on pure CB talent he’s already top 5 in the league.
  17. If he continues to play at this level at the very least you might be right in the long run for sure. I know a lot of people were mad at the Aké sale but he’s certainly an upgrade. He still seems to be quite under appreciated it seems though.
  18. He’s a good player that’s still quite young for a defender, he’ll only get better. His weaknesses (concentration, positioning) will only get better. We’ve got a top player in the making here if everything goes well for him.
  19. The phrase wasn’t meant to be taken quite literally Henrique lol. My main point was that we’re much more sturdier defensively when he plays instead of his alternative, Cahill/Luiz. Is this false?
  20. Ironically they scored right after this. Willian in a nutshell. But honestly, a top performance from him last night.
