I am not sure Cho coming back will help much, hazard on the other hand is whole another story.

Arsenal went for him and he said no.

All of this directness is good and fun but there is a time when we need to slow down the match. It was our biggest problem, our pressing is terrific but we need to retain possession in the opp half better in it will be end to end.. And when it was end to end. Leicester created 3/4 good opportunities where we created very little.

But we don't throw many youngster. The only youngster in starting 11 is mount. Puli is not a youngster. For me you have to throw Tammy into the fire. Realistically this is the only season where he will be given a chance. He need to prove that he is ready otherwise he is gone.

I personally don't care too much about the result sbut defensively it is a bit concerning. It has been the case since pre season. 3 games similar story. 3 good 1st half, 3 bad 2nd half. The problem when we lose control of the game, we were just sitting duck

As much as I agree with you but this is the rule, they won't change it until next season. Yes it suck the joy of celebrating goals. Yes it tend to be too "accurate". But it is what it is with VAR. I am just being honest, I am not big fan of VAR. But so far the way it is being implemented in EPL has been quite good.

Yeah, I know about the new handball rule especially on the offensive side. You may not like it but for me this is just a small thing. My biggest concern this season with VAR is defensive handball because it was implemented very2 poorly in UCL but so far it has been good.

For us, it is better for city to win this game. Our goal is top 4 and spurs is one of our rival. I honestly don't see us competing with this city team, they are so good. They created ton of chances while conceding almost nothing against spurs. Not any team spurs. That is just ridiculous.

But that one is not little thing. They won't chalk that goal off if Laporte tuck kane shirt a bit. But handball is very simple rule especially on the offensive side. If it touch your arm is not a goal

Not overly concerned with thisnone. It is the rule and it is not that bad. The one that s ihorrible is handball rule in UCL. That one is just ridiculous

In football, as we all know,it is better to be lucky than good.

With kdb back, it is really2 difficult to control this city team, you can sit deep and he will just destroy you with his crossing. It is pretty much one way traffic, without son, I don't see any way spurs coming back from this

Game over. I am here for spur vs city game. City bench is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Their "B" team is better than our starting 11.

Arguably one of the most ridiculous decision I have seen from manager. How do you start a player that you berated all summer. You can play isco, you play Jovic or rodrygo.

If you have ever played somewhat competitive football and basketball you will know the difference. Forget everything, start with the fact that you can sub in and sub out in basketball and they only play 48 minutes that are divided by 4 plus timeout.

Btw clearly soton is targeting pool right side. TAA is such a wonderful crosser but can be targeted

It is pool. They get away with anything they want

Nope but I remembered Alonso played quite well in the beginning of the season.

Alonso scored 2 goals or something like that in the beginning of the season last season. Wait till Emerson play for at least half a season to judge

Before pre season, I said that mount is not ready( I have never watched him play before) but after pre season,it is obvious I am so wrong. I really like no 10 like mount, he remind me of Oscar. Not flashy, athletic, press hard and make tons of the ball run. That is how a modern no 10 should play, the only time I want to see us playing a "creative" no 10 is when we are in complete control of the game or his name is Messi.

I has nothing to with player selection. Yes if kante play we probably will defend better but it was more on organization. So more work on training ground for lamp

Offensively? We looked fine offensively. Defensive organization is more the problem and it won't be fixed by playing Puli over Barkley.

I won't argue much regarding whether should Giroud play or not. For me playing Giroud or Tammy is fine with me. Regarding Oscar, Lamp want to play high press. There is no way Mount will drop deep. Is it naive? Maybe, but it has been our strategy since pre season so it is not one off. I think right now the problem is we are quite disorganized in term of our pressing. We conceded 4 against team who I thought played poorly at both side of the ball. They were clinical though.

Playing both mount and tammy made sense. Giroud has no future with us, if there is a time to try Tammy, this is the year. If he can't do it, then next year we need a striker. Mount is a bit different, with the high pressing that Lamp want to do, Mount is better than Barkley.

I am not sure it has anything to do with playing Barkley and Mount together. We can play Puli over Barkley and our defense won't get better
