Cantwell has midtable mediocrity written all over him. Everton or Wet Spam will probably buy him. I think Grealish is overrated as hell too and if he goes to a top club he'll be decent at best.

I watched Mourinho's pre-Leicester press conference and he seems ultra motivated to win their last 2 matches and get a Europa spot. Like, he seems borderline desperate for his club to get a EL spot because he thinks it'll be fantastic for their development. He says that he has been really hammering home how massive 3 points would be for them in training. With Leicester's injuries and with the pressure they'll be under, let us hope that serial bottlers Tottenham can squeak one out for us. We need a Mourinho miracle! ππΌ

If 2-3 of these players we're linked with come off I certainly think we'll be a title contender next season. Not the favorite, not even the second favorite, but I'd back us to finish within single digit points of the eventual champion. A genuine threat. With the caliber of players the top teams are buying and linked with, I don't think there's any chance any team pulls out of sight of the pack like Liverpool have done. And if Liverpool don't invest a bit and freshen up their team they could take a step back.
-
I know. π Just gotta hope the Scouse bastards are still out of sorts like they have been lately and that the Wolves players are down having been ruled out of the CL running.
-
Really kinda fucking sad that in no scenario we have been discussing as possible do any of us give us a chance against Liverpool. We're basically all just inking that in as a loss. Which is fair considering our defense. We need our lads to summon the spirit of Napoli/Barca/Bayern 2012 for these last two matches. ππΌππΌππΌ
-
Rodgers apparently confirmed that Maddison and Chilwell are done for their last two matches. So if we can get a Mourinho special and United beat them on the final day we'll be good.
-
No chance am I having OGS as a better manager than Frank. Ole has been there longer and spent an absolute fortune adding to his side this season. And they're STILL behind us, however small that gap is. I don't think it's even fair to really properly compare them until the end of next season when Frank has his own signings in. OGS definitely deserves credit for his buys and for getting them very organized defensively, but that's what happens when you buy some of the most expensive defenders out there.
-
I'll hold my hand up and remind you that I really wanted him. Thank fuck our club were smart enough to shy away. He has been shocking this season. Think a big part of that is because he has been angry that a big move didn't come off, but still. Massive bullet dodged.
-
I haven't bothered watching United for weeks now because they've been nearly automatic. Won't start today. We have to hope the good Mou/Spuds show up now rather than the shocking one. If Leicester win that I think it's over for us.
-
Mourinho was already complaining that his players were spent during their game yesterday. So watch those bottlers allow Leicester to beat them this weekend. Its not panic time yet. But it will be if Leicester beat Spuds. Because United and Leicester will 100% play for a draw and fuck us on the last day.
-
Every small team treats us like their cup final. They unfortunately can't summon those levels every match. Bastards.
-
Leicester team look so mediocre. So many of their key players out. For the love of God, PLEASE win this, Sheff United!
-
Anyone else roll their eyes when people say things like "Abramovich really wants ___?" Like he sits on his ass watching YouTube highlights of every star talent around Europe like we all do. π It's well known that early in his ownership he personally really wanted Scheva and Torres, but that was a different time. I highly doubt he is hands-on with specific players anymore. Not with highly trusted people under him like Marina and Cech. The most he likely gets involved is giving final approval when the board go to him on a huge transfer..

One option: -----------------------Werner------------------- Pulisic--------------Havertz---------------Ziyech ----------------Kova-----------Kante------------ Another option: -------------------Tammy/Giroud----------------- Werner---------------Mount---------------Ziyech -----------------Jorginho/Biily----------Kante-------------- Another option: Werner---------------Havertz-----------------Ziyech ------------------------Mount-------------------------- --------------------Billy---------Kante---------------- Thats not even taking into account players like CHO, RLC, etc who will of course play a lot. I think (hope) that we'd play Havertz as the #10.
-
Yep, and if you watch his YouTube highlights that ball is basically his signature move. He executes that pass perfectly time and again. Now imagine Pulisic or Werner getting on the end of that pass. Mouthwatering.
-
Playing Ziyech centrally in our team seems like it'd be a total waste of his most dangerous assets. Probably 90% of teams we'll be playing against will pack their entire team in low blocks surrounding their box right in the area where he'd be if we played him centrally. Perhaps in more open games against the big teams where we have more space he can play there but I hope Lampard is primarily going to use him on the right.
-
Ziyech will have a better season than Sancho. We don't need him anymore. If Havertz doesn't happen invest that cash at the back or maybe even Oblak if that's remotely possible.
-
Meh. They looked hopeless and barely touched the ball up until the VVD mistake. They probably don't have the funds to buy all the necessary players to compete. Don't see them getting near the top 4 once again next season.
-
Liverpool will be nice and rested and also pissed off at somehow losing that game.
-
Tbf, the last few appearences for Alonso he's getting loads of space and getting into fantastic positions. He just falters on the final pass. Be a great squad player for us next season.
-
Right then, let's have Liverpool batter Arse for some AFTV lolz tonight.
-
GINGER FUCKING MOURINHO! π
-
If we are indeed even after Havertz and the rumors haven't all been bullshit, I wonder what the alternatives are if we can't land him? His profile is pretty damned unique when you think about it. Or would we just say forget it and dump all that money elsewhere, I wonder.
-
I truly cannot even remember who won the FA Cup just 2 years ago. That's how quickly the memory of that trophy leaves my mind. We miss out on the CL and it hurts us for years. We go full strength and fatigue our players (thus harming our CL hopes) for a trophy people will forget about in a year just isn't worth it in my eyes.
-
Attack and midfield performance were very lethargic but honestly, I'm not super pissed overall. I think our defense had to make only 1 important tackle the whole match so I suppose that's an improvement. Thought Willian and Pulisic looked completely gassed as the match wore on which is why our attacking play really suffered. Honeslty, fuck the FA Cup. I would heavily rotate for that one. Put out a competetive side, yes, but the last 2 PL matches are far, far more important. We need Willian and Pulisic as fresh as possible.
