I think Mount in a MF two is a disaster waiting to happen though right now. The Fulham game for instance, he left Billy overrun most of the first half to go over to the sort of role he usually plays, linking up with Chilwell, playing in that sort of wide 10 role. In a 3 man MF maybe but in a 2 he is not disciplined enough and it looks like we will play 343 still. Unless we sell Zouma or dare I say it Christensen (although hopefully he stays), we should prioritise MF first imo.

Big season coming up. Has to perform or will be out the door next summer. No excuses now with Lukaku coming in.

I really do wonder if people slagging his link up play realised he got 11 assists last season?

Played well in pre season and yesterday, think he could be a surprise addition to squad for the season.

Not sure if we are linked but talk Bayern want €10m to sell Tolisso to go for Sabitzer. Be an interesting move for €10m. Linkee with Spurs, Juventus, West Ham, Arsenal and United. Would think we would be aware of him and potentially a good deal at that price, no? He is a combative box to box player.

Kepa Kepa Kepa lovely. Wheres the idiots who said the penalties were over after first one 🤣 Big balls by Tuchel to make that sub. Big balls from Kepa considering he probably hadn’t touched the ball too as he came on at 119th minute or whatever.

Fucking hell miss one pen and its over, where were you in 2012 when Mata missed our pen yet still won the CL?

Not as if hes put a foot wrong. And in the other pre season games he has done well. So him playing is probably more warranted but whatever.

And what about Kante and Kovacic’s performances since HT along with the rest of the team which is when we actually surrendered control of the midfield… I see the anti Jorginho brigade are back, how long to the anti Mount brigade come out after him playing only 20 mins tonight too?

You can tell if a players going to be different though. Is Werner really looking better than last season which he was poor for for 3/4s of it? Or has Pulisic done anything consistently since his first season? Kai looks totally a new player, fitter, stronger, more relentless without the ball. More quality on it too. Big wake up call, we’ve done nothing since HT.

Werner and Pulisic very frustrating. Offering next to nothing. I know its one game but its same old same old, doing very little. Cannot see them starting a lot this season if they keep at this sort of performance, more so considering once Lukaku is done he will start every week and Mount probably be back in once he gets up to full fitness.

Hes at Southampton….. Werner looks like hes going to struggle against this season. Not good.

Ruidger knew what he was doing with that. Love the aggression but decision to go in that forceful to a ball he was always likely to win is Rudiger down to a tee. Just never thought about it.

🤣

Ziyech has been on fire this pre season. Mental people were wanting to sell him because Hakimi went to PSG and he “convinced him to not come here” jesus 🤣 Is Timo Werner convincing anybody? He isn’t convincing me at all. Thank god we are getting a proper goalscorer in though maybe prop his game up a bit.

True and he did have a worse record than Tuchel but he’s had a pre-season now and they’ve had an amazing transfer window in all reality. If he doesnt win Ligue 1 it would shock the whole footballing world. I think PSG will quite rightly be favourites for the CL this season also, even more so if the front 3 gels because it is going to be lethal. I mean look at Neymar-Suarez-Messi under Enrique, theres the potential for that level of output. And don’t tell me Luis Enrique is a better manager than Pochettino because he is not.. Atletico? Really? Whilst a good side I’d be shocked, even more so shocked if that PSG team don’t click together too and cannot get into the last 4 at least. If I were a betting man and they get out of the group’s convincingly I’d be thinking they will go very far. But do you really think he wont win the league now? I mean Lille beat PSG in the super cup but it wasn’t exactly the same team they will play most weeks. Poch is a good manager, doesn’t have the medals to be considered elite but a good manager nonetheless.

Wait what? So sack Poch, who has won only in France and give a top manager who usually wins, who wants a lot of finances a lot of finances? Do you want PSG to do well or?

When Messi is announced, I am sorry but Pochettino has to win the CL with PSG. I mean Messi, Neymar and Mbappe upfront, who has a better front 3 than that. We’ve already seen Messi and Neymar in the same team, Mbappe through the middle for them also who is a high level player, looks unbelievable on paper and cannot imagine there being any complications. Throw in Sergio Ramos, who is still very good, in at CB. Another good player in Wjinaldum for MF. Hakimi at RB. Donnarumma too for GK. On top of the top of quality they had as it was, he cannot afford any fuck ups in Ligue 1, the domestic cups or even going for the CL now you’d think he’s got to get to the final at least.

So we are to take he’s not a good signing off of a video that is 1 minute 52 seconds long when he played over 3000 minutes in Serie A, 474 minutes in the CL and 473 minutes in the EL last season? Aye ok then. People are looking too much into it though. Hes an elite goalscorer first and foremost.

And teams in Italy dont play like that against Inter Milan? Or other national teams against Belgium? No? I mean we created a lot of chances under Tuchel IIRC just didn’t convert them so I think he will be fine. Plus you’ve got him occupying central defenders which also means players like Havertz or Werner don’t have to.

Lot of talk they want Dzeko and Zapata to replace Lukaku, which seems odd why 2 players to replace 1 CF?

Thats him saying he wont fight to leave and is an Inter player but still not exactly him saying he is 100% staying is it?

Lets hope so. Because I think as far as front 2’s go, they would be a very good partnership. Then throw in Son too.

Martinez apparently going Spurs €60-70m to play with Kane. Kane and him would be some pairing.

Talks of trying to do a swap deal for de Ligt with one of Jorginho or Werner going in the deal.
