It is not a surprise. They have title contender squad. Instead of competing for top 4 with us, they should have competed with city and pool for title

I blame FA for this. He dived a couple weeks ago, got penalty, no punishment. What is the point of this so called retrospective action

Gosh Salah is such a diver. Absolute blatant yellow

I think Hazard will start up top, not Giroud. Their 343 will require our winger to be discipline defensively, which is not job for Hazard

I may not agree with all the board decisions. My main gripe is on player contracts, losing (maybe) hazard and courtois for cheap is absolutely bad businesses decision for a big club like us. But in term of transfer, although I disagree with some of the signing but it depend on what the manager want. You can't just I want player x, y, z but the manager does not like his characteristics. That make 0 sense. People complained about drinkwater. I hated that signing but it make so much sense under Conte. We need an HG player and we need a midfielder to play in two man system.

I was referring to the board backing not the player quality.

Your comments make 0 sense. I am not sure what you are talking about. Under Mou we signed tons of player, we signed Cesc, Luis, costa, salah, etc. In his last season he wanted a young CB, we tried stones but he was too expensive at that moment. With Conte, he got bakayoko, Kante, Luiz and Alonso and Morata is signed because he clashed with Diego. With Sarri, Jorginho is the only real purchase . Kovacic and Higuain is on loan. Since, Courtois wanted to leave we need a gk. Please don't say buying a new gk means backing Sarri. Sarri wanted Courtois to stay. Furthermore, what is the difference between Higuain signing to Giroud signing under Conte?

Is his contract up this summer?

It is just weird that he still want to go to Real. Real has been a mess for quite some time now. Don't believe people who say oh they sold ronaldo so now they are suck. Nope they finished like 15 points of Barcelona last year The team are just too old in some areas, Ramos, Modric and Benzema need to be replaced.

I thought Emenalo was our technical director till 2017

At best he probably will be on the bench. But at least we have goalscoring punch off the bench. Tbh I haven't watched Higuain in years. Maybe wc final was the last time I watched him play for 90 minutes. I can't really judge his game at all. Anyone here follow serie A? Will he cope with the physicality of EPL? Based on YouTube video, he does not look fast nor super technical. So he need to be at least strong enough.

Just get this thing done so we have a striker for Arsenal game

Good for everyone. He will be much better in La liga

I think we all know the problem with Morata problem is not his number. I have no problem with his finishing, that thing will come but he is just simply too weak and soft to play as striker in epl.

When did we play Arsenal other than the one in epl early in the season?

He does not suit Conte system

After extended run of Hazard false 9, I think we can all agree that this is not a good long term solution. I honestly thought when we try it hey Messi was breaking records as false 9 under possession manager, maybe hazard can be one too. Hazard link up play is good but his movement in the box is not good enough for a no 9. For short term, honestly what option do we have. We have pretty much given up on Morata. Giroud is pretty much a plan b guy at this point of his career.

Morata is injured so we are left with Giroud as striker. In a game where Sarri want his strike to be more mobile, clearly this is not a option. Hazard has to play as no 9. For me this is as simple as that.

Damn watching video, our play is very2 similar. It is watching us play this season

I thinks most fans (including ours) want their team to play like Liverpool. Direct and fast

If you watch our team right now what is the problem. Is it more of Sarri or our player. Our offense like you said is dull, boring but our defense is pretty good. If you told me that we will play back 4 with error prone David Luiz and slow mo Marcos Alonso as our starting 11, and our defense is good. I will think you are mad. But our defense is decent. Like you said is thank to our better ball retention. Offensively I think what you want is more directness, I kinda agree. We play too many short passes and they are slow passes. Jorginho performance play a factor plus we really need a striker. If we got a decent striker, I think everything will look much better. Just remember we scored some fun goals under mou after we signed Cesc and Costa. Btw can we stop with this kante as dm. Does people realize how our dm is utilized in this system, his job is to play as regista. Having our best runner that have countless of stamina, spending 90% of the game sitting behind making short passes is a waste of kante talent.

With the way we play right now any game is difficult.

Maybe but he is crucial to the way spurs play.

Don't get me wrong. I was worried the moment they sacked Jose. This United team was underperforming big time, the moment Jose shackled is off they will go on a run

Yup, spurs have better scorer than us. Harry kane is absolute world class. Plus son and alli can chip in goals as well
