Are you going to ask CHO to track Robertson?

Nope

There is a news saying that it was 40 m in instalments, only around 5 m for first year or something like that.

Thiago is dpl, he doesn't play between the line. It won't affect firmino game much. Firmino just won't drop very deep. Thiago will replace either wijnaldum or Henderson. He will help them build from the middle.

It is difficult to find playing time for ruben in this team, we have so many attacker, even Barkley right now is so much better than ruben. Unless we have injury crisis, It is hard to see ruben get enough playing time to get his mojo back

I am curious to see how lamp will handle Robertson. Last year, it was no brainer willian or pedro. This year, it is going to be interesting.

I think the key question from this Thiago signing is that whether wijnaldum is being moved this season.

I am not sure what do you mean how thiago impact firmino game, very little imo. In term of Werner it is obvious without covid, he is a pool player but pool don't want to pay his release clause.

Nope. I want them to keep their star until 33 when they have 0 value and they have to rebuild from 0.

It is actually both. It is not a problem if kepa cannot catch crosses if he is a wc shot stopper. But if you are suck at both then we have a problem.

It is imperative for kante to stay healthy this season and get back to his best. With our current squad and setup, he is imo our most important player. We simply have no alternative.

I don't think it has anything to do with system with ruben, he need to go somewhere and to play consistently and hopefully he can go back tk be ruben

Pressing is not the same as tracking back.

Honestly, let's wait till season start to see who is right. I said playing thiago, with Christensen, and Chilwell with werner up top will make us very weak against set pieces. Most people said nope, it is the organization not the personel. I think two or three perso said Chilwell is better in the air than alonso. It is also very easy to check, if Chilwell is being tasked to mark opp cb one on one than I am maybe wrong.

Nope, i want to know how are you going to defend set pieces with that lineup. What is the plan against pool. I gave two scenario.

He was on the front post. Just watch the replay. Wait so werner is better in the air than Giroud?? Chilwell will defend cb? Silva is better in the air than zouma? And I have barely mentioned height, I said aerially good player. LOL, you keep mentioning height to the point that it confuse me but I have never mentioned height, I said aerially gold player.

Striker position on corner is usually in the front post. They are usually bad at marking hence they are not tasked to mark dangerous player or key area. Everyone keep talking about height is not everything, of course, it isn't. Ivanovic is 185 but absolute monster in the air. Christensen is 187 but very2 bad in the air, awful in fact. Now back to our team. Let's start with my original point, now you have watched Werner play, is he better in the air than Giroud or tammy. Alonso with Chilwell, people say Chilwell is better in the air. If lamp ask Chilwell to mark opp cb then your point is right because that is alonso job on set pieces. Thiago Silva, if anyone have watched Thiago silva play, he is good aerially, but he is no Zouma let alone vvd. So now let's say we play Werner Pulisic - Mount - Ziyech Kante - kova Chilwell - Silva - Christensen - azpi Kepa That is perfectly reasonable lineup. Now Lamp set a perfect organization. Forget playing big team like west ham, let's play pool with only 3 tall players, 2 cb vs two cb, who will mark fabinho?? Ok now you said man marking is stupid, let play zone, silva and Christensen in the middle. Who will defend far post. We saw azpi got beaten in thr air by Soucek for west ham goal, or are we going to wait for Kepa to catch cross. I haven't talked about Christensen beaten easily in the air.

@JasonI think Lamp pretty much agree with me,he even mentioned pool example. It is not about getting 11 tall player but you need enough of player who can reall fight in the air to defend important area, 3 is good, 4 is better. It is ok to get shorter, for our case get a dominant aerial gk like Courtois and a tall dm and we are good to. But I don't expect this two signings to be done this summer which is why I have concern for next season.

Bot sure how can you make that conclusion when Barkley - Mount (which is what Havertz and Mount combination will be something like) was played less than 5 games last season

Is there any interesting thing that Lamp try in this game?

I don't know. But Havertz n Thiago are two different type of player.

My expectation is very simple, become a more annoying team to play. Albeit a fantastic 4th place finish, I don't feel like team hate playing against us.

Thiago is interesting but it will be very2 difficult to fit thiago, Bruno and Pogba in the same team

Fans : These players are mercenary that don't love the club, we need to give our youth a chance. We want academy player who love the club who want to fight for the badge. We got to top 4 with 4/5 inexperienced academy making key contribution. Fans : tammy not good enough, Mount not good enough, james not good enough, let's sign experience player to replace them. 😅😅😅

Actually I don't believe we have the worst cb, they are fine,not great, fine. I have said countless of time, we don't need good cb, we need a great commanding cb. That is why silva is signed, we need leadership at the back. Not sure I like the signing because I have major doubt of silva ability to last in epl due to his age and the way we defend. But it is a very low risk signing so no problem. People don't give credit of how our defender need to deal at people running at them at will especially when kante is not playing. We have only one ball winner in the team albeit a wc one, but when he is not playing or not fit or not playing well, all hell break lose. Btw saying that we need leadership at the back is not a shot at azpi. I am 100% think azpi is our captain. Imo those people who said azpi should not be captain and can't organize defense need to get their head checked. FB can't organize defense. How in the hell azpi can instruct LB to do anything plus fb also need to go up and support the attack, good luck organizing your defense after making overlapping cross
