Tomori has been very good

Fantastic first goal for Tomori

Back 5 vs back 5. Both team are having trouble doing anything.

The amount of hatred toward Alonso as wb is mind-boggling. We won the league with Alonso as wb. Azpi side is more concerning, Azpi is not a wb

Lol. If you want to protect your fb you play defensive winger and problem solved.

Azpi as wing back is a bit bizzare. Not sure he has the ability to go one on one.

3 CB to combat wolves 2 st (Jota n Jimenez)

I am not sure about tiring in 2nd half has anything to do with kante. Two games that he played for us, pool and Leicester, we still got battered in 2nd half. With kante, we are just ok defensively, without him we are a disaster.

Hopefully we can win tomorrow. We need to start picking up points especially with ucl coming up.

Yup I think it is 4231 with mount and Puli. Although I much rather us playing 433 with barkley.

Mount can play as lw but clearly that is not his position. I think it is better to play Puli as lw.

After last season I can tell that ruben is not good defensively but that is not much a problem playing in 3 man midfield and will be problematic in 2 man midfield. It will put tons of pressure on kante though as holder.

Azpi assisted Tammy first goal, he will never be great offensively. That is obvious but he is asked to be a more dynamic rb which is difficult for him. Sheffield 2nd goal was Azpi and Tomori fault. But honestly that game was more on Lamp. Willian was important in that Sheffield game he was the only one who can pick the ball up and bring the ball forward. We were sitting duck pretty much all 2nd half. I have no problem with these 3 players because I don't have much expectation. Azpi will not suddenly turn back the clock, Willian won't turn into hazard, he is what he is. Zouma is also a decent CB,not a great one.

If he is more comfortable playing as no 8 then play him as no 8. It does not really matter. He is still playing as the most advanced midfield. But not as 2 man midfield (maybe except against a very weak team). For me it come down how we want to play Mount Ruben - Kante Are just way too offensive for me. We need our winger to be Willian type but we have Puli and CHO so that is not an option.

He can play there. I see ruben play that role similar to the way pogba played that role last year.

I really like Sancho. But like I said in lamp thread, lamp and whoever in charge need to make decision on how this team is going to look like. It is going to be very difficult to build a balance team, with Sancho - Mount - CHO.

Kovacic passing is very2 good, it is his decision making that is lacking. But the way we are playing right now, Kova is not competing with mount and Ruben. Ruben will compete with mount and Barkley for that no 10 spot.

I can only hope we can get him but it is difficult to se our team spending 120 m on one player

Nope. Kovacic has potential to be one of the best cm in the world, technically very gifted, physically very good and defensively pretty good. But sometimes he made crazy pass or left his partner by himself too often. That need to be fix. Azpi is doing fine. He is being asked to play as dynamic rb, he will suffer defensively. That is as expected, he is not exactly young anymore. Zouma is also doing fine. It can be very painful to watch when he is on the ball but defensively he is fine. With proper midfield in front of him, I think he will look better. Plus our cb pairing are just too inexperience. Willian is also doing fine other than his first match which was horrific. Against Sheffield, he came on and helped us big time in term of bringing the ball up.

For me international football is good n fun when there is no club football playing because the quality tend to be poor. The most important factor in winning international tournament is your defense, midfield and gk. Can they defend. If they answer is yes then you have a chance. Then pray that you got lucky. Take Netherland for example, if de light can grow fast, and koeman can find the perfect solution I can see them winning euro.

Of course holder. A matic, a Fernandinho or a Fabinho.

They are not getting younger but they are capable backup. We have CHO and Puli. If we can sign player like mbappe then it is whole another ball game but I don't think we need a winger maybe a cheaper one

It won't make sense to splurge on winger when we have glaring need in midfield.

Arguably my most dissapointed player so far. You can see the potential but his decision making still lacking.

I don't think our defense was great last year but we played very slow possession football which limit opp chance plus we have Azpi staying back more.
