It feels like a team or two will be on the end of a spanking from us one of these days if we can get it firing offensively. Defensively, we have looked solid. It's just the final pass, the final touch in front of goal that is lacking.

There was definitely contact but I don't think it warranted the reaction of Carrasco. He went down rather theatrically.

Does this mean that the board did the right thing by sticking with these players instead of listening to Lampard? lol

We can "force" Jogi Low's hand by playing Werner here really. I mean, you have Mourinho saying he will start Kane against Dinamo Zagreb even though Spurs are already 2-0 up in the tie and have a game against Villa on Sunday. Moreover, Germany will be facing Iceland (h), Romania (a) and Macedonia (h). Think they should be able to win those games without Werner starting in all 3 games. Am sure Low will also rotate his squad anyway to prevent any issues for his Euro squad later on.

Ziyech has started the last 2 games though. Maybe Werner-Giroud-Pulisic or Pulisic-Werner-Mount? We have 5 subs available for this game. So, we can easily just make changes later on. And also, start Gilmour!

Can always go 4-4-2 or whatever. Sheffield United right now seem like the ideal opposition for him to get a goal or two if Tuchel doesn't want to rest him.

Not disrespecting Sheffield United but is there a need to go with a back 3 here?

The upcoming World Cup qualifiers in South America have been postponed anyway.

Tuchel has used him wisely, TBF, based on the opposition we're playing.

Tuchel said he chose Ziyech today because of his UCL experience with Ajax.

Tuchel is also playing him in his best role/position - one of two midfielders in a double six - and that helps too.

I did wonder the same thing and checked it and Sarri lost the Community Shield to City. Guess Opta counted that as a competitive game. lol

Those games felt like Lampard just went ultra defensive, especially against Sevilla and Man United, and just hope someone will make something happen. A plaster used to cover a wound. The setup was not balanced and it never felt like Lampard had any plan with it whatsoever.

We may have gotten lucky but honestly, fuck it! We have been screwed so many times in the Champions League!

It was also the same time when we really started playing the better sides.

I mean... 😂😂😂
