That West Brom team is absolutely diabolical. I see almost zero quality in their XI. So we’ll make extremely hard work of this somehow. 😂 Better not fucking lose...

Thought Barca were totally broke? Ah well, if it ain’t us him going to Spain is best case scenario.

That is quite possibly the nastiest kit I’ve ever seen. 🤢 Please be fake.

Think about what Levy would demand for Kane. Surely more than Neymar or Mbappe. Nobody is paying that. Would be funny if City did though because Spuds would tumble to mid table for years without him.

Yep. Think he’s nailed on to go there now. And good lord at the prospect of him playing in that team.

Worth a punt on a free if Oli goes? Or too injury prone?

Timo is going to explode for us next season I feel. Same with Kai. We’d be mad to even consider selling him.

Liverpool fans and many in the English media have rated Joe Gomez very highly and bigged him up as the next great CB. Guess he’s not gonna see much of the pitch next season. Seems Liverpool have bought about 5 CB’s in a row now.

Think Lukaku would be an awesome fallback option, actually. Not as though there’s a bunch of top strikers out there. He has some frustrating attributes but he scores and scores in lots of different ways. You feed him service and he puts it away. But for me the priority should be a striker who’s excellent technically and can create for himself if necessary. Someone who isn’t almost entirely dependent on perfect service to score like our current #9’s Tammy & Oli are. This is why Dybala would make a lot of sense. But he’s rumored to leave Juve every window seemingly and never does. I’m not even giving a thought to Haaland. Unless Roman reaches in his pocket for a sum that Dortmund can’t say no to that’s not happening.

Man, we have a pretty brutal run in as well. West Ham, Arse, and Leicester all in a row I think. Plus a couple of teams that may be super desperate for points to stay up. Sprinkle in some massive cup games and CL and I’m not sure we’re anywhere near favorites for top 4. We 100% have to win those top 4 head to heads and also not pull a typical Chelsea in between and drop silly points to sides like WBA, Fulham, or Villa. It would be pretty inexcusable to miss out on top 4 to a Liverpool side who have been without a starting CB for months and went on a historically poor run, a Leicester side who have also been ravaged by injury to some of their best players, West Ham who have maybe 1 player who makes our starting XI, and fucking Mourinho and his horrific football carried by 2 players.

Right then. Come on you Villains!

The very rare occasions when we actually want Arse to win and they fucking piss it away like clowns. We keep waiting and waiting for West Ham and Leicester to fall away but they keep winning. Annoying as hell. Pretty much every game the rest of the way will be absolutely must win for us at this rate. West Ham having the season of their life where everything is going their way. They don’t have any truly top class players yet look where they are.

My goodness, what a horrendous second half that was. Result is all that matters today but wow. Easily our worst half since TT took over and perhaps our worst half of the season since going down 0-3 to WBA. Thats back to back shocking second half’s domestically after Leeds last week. We just straight up stopped playing.

Under Sarri we just played a million sideways passes and did fuck all with all the possession. Same with Lamps at times. Now we dominate the ball but are frequently penetrating through the lines. We’ve seen Werner in so many 1v1’s with keepers and he fluffs the finish. Just like CP today. We are much more aggressive and and vertical under TT already in just a few weeks. It’ll get better.

Totally disagree. We play very neat and tidy football under TT. We just have an entire attack that can’t finish to save their lives.

Pulisic looks totally devoid of any confidence. Being out of the team for so long has killed him. Struggling to dribble past defenders which he usually did for fun, sloppy passes when teammates are wide open, easy 1v1 with the keeper where he looked like a deer in headlights. ‘Sad to watch him like this. A bit like Ziyech a couple of weeks ago before he got a run of games. Pulisic needs minutes badly to get his confidence back. Hope we don’t get rid in the summer.

We should probably expect a very disjointed match here. This is a strange team selection. No clue how this’ll go.

I think every conceivable star would have to align perfectly for us to have a shot at Haaland considering how many big clubs are in desperate need for a top class #9. Think it would maybe take a Hazard sort of scenario where we win the CL this season to prove to him that we can take him to an even higher level. Feels weird to say after so many years of Barca & Real Madrid hoovering up the top players, but I don’t think we’d have to worry about them for a while. Aren’t both still in dire financial shape due to COVID? Juve and Bayern never spend this sort of cash on a single player so can’t see them being in play. What sucks is our two biggest rivals for him are the Manchester clubs. And it would surely be extremely difficult to turn down City if they make a big play for him. Liverpool may also be a sneaky club interested. Firmino has dipped and doesn’t score much anymore. Whichever PL club gets him is instantly the title favorite I think. And if we don’t get him the club I’d least want to see him end up at is fucking Man United. The media would be unbearable. Let’s hope they blow their load on Sancho instead.

As absolutely hilarious as it is to see them get embarrassed like this, it probably would’ve been better for us in the PL if they had a few more EL matches to focus on.

Hope we draw Dortmund. Think we match up quite favorably.

Our defense and midfield look impenetrable. No matter who we rotate in. Imagine telling Chelsea fans that a few months ago. 😂😂😂 We also create chance after chance after chance like we did today and scuff the final ball. If we had some killers up front we’d be title contenders, ffs.

Damn, I think Mount 100% buries that chance Kova had at the end of the half. 😩

Chances are going to be very hard to come by with that midfield, methinks. Both Thiago and AC being out really hurts us at the back forcing Zouma to play in that role. Hope our boys don’t succumb to the pressure here and we try to really assert ourselves like we did in the first leg. Can’t just stand off them and play scared of conceding. Because if they score first our players may panic.

Well, Atleti cannot possibly be worse than they were in the first leg. And they probably got roasted in Spanish media for their tactics so they’ll be desperate to make good tonight. I really expect a totally different beast here. Very curious if TT sticks with Giroud again or tries to catch them off guard with a funky XI.

What a horrible second half that was. Didn’t create much at all after a decent first half. How do we produce our best attacking performance against Everton and then produce this?
