Against a packed and deep defense, that is one helluva difficult job. Plus with no striker, West Ham was happy to give up the wing and let their fb play our winger one on one knowing that they can handle crosses.

I have no problem with mount. Mount will never wow you with skill, but his movement and energy is very2 good. Since he is more of a ss, he is actually suited to play with Giroud. I remember Giroud created 2/3 good chances for mount and Pedro in the 1st half against Leicester.

This. It was a bizarre game. I honestly thought both are pretty much goner. Then suddenly both started. I am interested what is the thinking behind our last 20 min strategy.

Willian crossing is suck but We only have kante, Pulisic and Mount in the box.

The question is who is better as no 9, Pulisic or michy. He will pretty much play poacher. I honestly thought cho will come for mount

It is a bit Bizarre imo. He has been part of rotation. We are chasing games against packed and deep defense without a no 9. This is interesting

Wow, what a big call

Btw what the hell is that from Zouma. Willian was beaten too easily but man that was bizzare

Thank God for var, that is clear handball

What the hell

I said again and again. Our set pieces defense is just horrid.

He is our only true am. Kovacic is a more of a cm. They are different player.

Drop jorgi bring kante in.

There is massive difference between training and game time.

You got to be joking. I was surprised when I saw both Giroud and Pedro started. They haven't played for us more than 1 month I think.

Both Giroud and Pedro barely played this season. Not sure how do you expect them to be sharp

Giroud and Pedro start. They haven't played any minute in recent weeks. Hopefully they are not very rusty

I did not watch our game against Ajax but against pool in istambul, the moment firmino came on, it was all pool. Of course in UCL with luck anything can happen. I am just not confident. For me against big team, we are exposed sefensively. Teams can create chances when they want to with us. So if we come to play against big team thinking, we can create so it is fine that they can create, we will lose more than we win. We have Willian who is not clincal, and two kids up front, it is just suicide to play toe to toe. If the mindset, then we will sign a RW next season who is clinical, so it is fine. Sure if the winger is basically Willian with better number, absolutely, if the winger is a direct winger, it means even less control.

We won't get smashed but I am not confident at all even if we get easy draw, I mean we got Valencia and Ajax. Both are good but not exactly upper echelon good. Ajax maybe last year but we all know how Ajax operate.

Watch Palace game. Against Valencia, It was Emerson for Jorginho, 343 = you don't care about possession and you control the game by being solid at the back

With double pivot, you don't need you CB to be brilliant passer. You have two dm that will play close to them.

Watch Palace game

I disagree. I like kante + Kovacic midfield. Other than from set pieces, I didn't feel like conceding at all. We were extremely secure everywhere

For me I don't want us to follow pep way. He has blank cheque with city. His fb were too old in his first season, so he spent 130 m on fb alone,not sure that is our way to go.

Lamp has done a wonderful job with this team, I am glad that I am so wrong about Lamp. But I want us to have one game against big team where we don't just concede so many chances, yes it is difficult against monster team like city maybe we can do it against spurs.
