  1. Agreed. I guess regardless of anything else he has already proved himself now. You can't take away a MOTM performance in a CL final. And for all of those who say he is non chalant and doesn't care, he was giving the City players hell, pushing and talking shit after they just got rid of the ball. He has that drive and style to his game.
  2. Mendy has been class since we got him. I can't believe there was actually discussion at one point that we need someone "world class" after he had a stretch of 3 average games or something. Honestly? Go have a look at the so called best keepers today like T S, Alisson and Ederson, etc. All of them still have a stinker every now and then. He has been immense and simply goes about and does his job. When called upon, he steps up and produces in big games like that. He is human and not infallible, but on a consistent basis when we need him, he is there. He is a top 10 keeper in the world, and on his day can be the best.
  3. He has been great lately. I quite like him with Werner upfront together and another pacey player just to the right or left that pushes up when we go forward. Is he finally just settling and find his feet or do people think it is a particular position that works best for him in this team, or the PL as a whole? So much talk when Frank left that he wasn't being utilised properly and a bunch of other stuff (which I agreed with actually) but he took a while to find his feet under a new manager too, so has there been anything specific that has lit this fire recently?
  4. Thought he was best on ground last night along with Tomori. He keeps the ball moving and forces runs from our players if they are stagnant. Hard to do when you have Willian and Barkley in the team, but the rest seem to cotton on quick. I also think he has been quite good defensively. Works hard and breaks up a lot of play and counter attacks. He is disruptive and reads the game well enough to be in the right positions to at least impact the opposition going forward in some way.
  5. He doesn't fit the way we play. Holds the ball far too long. Barkley and Willian made things really difficult at times last night since they both take too many touches, and both ignore Tammy when he steps between the lines to create space for them. Movement is what makes beautiful play and good football. These two just aren't cut out to play in a team like ours.
  6. He has been good in every game. Even after the Man U game, I was impressed. Some on here acting as if it isn't enough two games in and asking for Giroud. Honestly baffling. Glad he settled in quickly after the "what have you done for me lately" crowd started talking shit about him.
  7. Play Tammy or Michy every game. What good is Giroud? 2 in 27 last season, not part of our future, and is completely opposite to the style of football we are trying to play. Transition season. Perfect time to play all this youth given the little expectations. I would encourage the young players as much as you can and even if they make mistakes. As long as they learn, perfect. On another note, Tammy has actually played quite well regardless of the miss. Constantly in good positions and putting pressure on. I say this as someone who didn't really rate him prior to any of this. Very encouraging when he is on the field.
  8. Which is why it is absolutely marvelous you don't have any impact on the club aside from posting on here.
  9. This board has gone to shite. People just bickering and unhappy all the time. I'm done. Waste of time posting on here with a bunch of saddos. No one can ever do anything right apparently.
  10. Reece James is needed. Azpi has been woeful for some time now. Good performance everywhere else on the pitch, but I think we all knew the defence was going to be bad.
  11. He keeps giving the ball away. Doesn't work hard enough either.
  12. On another note, I have never seen our pressing this good. Jeez it is great to watch.
  13. Don't know what some of you are watching. I think we have been great. Mount and Abraham have been really impressive. Actually embarrassing that two people commented they've been poor. Maybe football isn't the game for you if that is what you've come back with from that half. Jorgi is actually playing well. I think Kovacic has been really good in his role. Barkley and Zouma don't belong. Pedro is providing some bursts, so I would keep him on. Bring Pulisic on for Barkley. Lazy, lazy player.
  14. Are Zouma and Christensen now essentially a lock to both start? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  15. Some of you are so fickle. Truly believe he loves the club but sometimes it's time to move on. Sad to see him go. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  16. What is the projected starting line up for us? Any word? Christensen seems to be almost a lock now... Emerson is getting all the minutes ahead of Alonso in preseason too. Anyone got any confident predictions? Is Mount going to be starting? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  17. Stop posting. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  18. Now we are left with no identity again and starting a new brand. Pointless. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  19. Never understood the Madrid hate from those on here. Barca on the other hand... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  20. Ah she is just full of victories. How does she do it?! Leading this club with fantastic signings. Give her a bump in pay. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  21. Great pass back to KDB. He should have kept the run to goal going. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  22. Kepa was brilliant this season. Style is unorthodox so people think it isn't safe. Same thing with DDG. People said he wasn't safe because he was stopping shots with his feet instead of getting down low and palming away... so much for that. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  23. It's always the managers fault clearly. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  24. I wonder why that is? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
