Well, if he can improve significantly I do back Mou to be able to get it out of him, attitude wise, but this all depends on Tammy for the most part. I hope we buy him back for the narrative if he turns it around completely. Confidence is a great thing, but he seemed to have such a high opinion of his abilities which simply did not exist at the higher level of play. Wish him the best.

Its not just those two, but I'll get onboard with those two inparticular as well for now, though they had a good game, especially Kova, considering how concerned I was in preseason with his lack of awareness/caught in possession. I'm not doubting you watched the game, but Timo 100% did make those runs yesterday, only to have to stop in frustration, I've posted elsewhere that when this does happen he is offside or 1v1 confidence is shot, its not about pinging the blame, its observation on whats happening consistently, when it does happen, Timo needs to work on that too. ie. he was put through yesterday in the second half on the RW only to waste the shot.

Movement isn’t in question for me, his runs are hardly ever spotted by our midfield. Though his finishing is just woeful, remains so, let’s see how the season progresses, but he’s going to need to get that 1v1 confidence back.

Not wrong, just watched the game, my word they leave so many spaces everywhere, I guess it’s the first game but damn.. also seeing Billy jogging around for the second goal was a bit meh.

Can’t fault his attitude and professionalism under Tuchel.

ESPN

Commentators often forget he’s been with the club since early on as well, perhaps due to the amount of loans. Been great through the Euros, made a few errors yesterday but stepped out well otherwise.

Timo Timo Timo, what do we do with you lad? On one hand, we don’t have midfielders capable of playing passes for his intelligent runs off the last man, rewatch the game today and so often he goes and has to stop because our MF is inept most of the time. Why have I said most of the time? Because sometimes he does get the through ball which he inevitably misses 😂 I would just prefer CHO on the left, he was a beast there.

Sharp performance, felt sorry for Timo stop start runs for both our midfielders who seem incapable of playing the ball needed. In preseason I was concerned about Kova big time and he had a very very good performance today.

Is he ready? I don’t believe so, but let’s keep in mind he will be training with Lukaku, Werner, Kai.. literally every type of striker every single day. Great performance and obviously it’s brilliant for us to see academy players who get their head down get their rewards. Guehi, Livramento, Bate etc etc “no route to first team ffs”

Hows Gilmour fairing?

I actually fear for Werner's place in this team with touches like that and games like this.

Zaha, what a waste of talent.

What a cross by Werner, literally nobody there.

I'm not saying a bunch don't watch the other leagues here, because they do and I respect everyone's opinion, for the most part aside from the trollies. I do not see the hype at all from Kounde at all, my nan would look good in a YouTube highlight video, we can spend the money elsewhere, simple as that. Wonder how Guehi feels right now. ~edit~ RIP Nan

Sickly good block there Rudi.

Shame we cannot bring on Rom in a game like this, as prep.

Statement needed after United result.

How has Puli nabbed that left wing from CHO? I recall his best performances coming from there, its such a shame.

Puli..?
