True but I would still expect Spurs to beat Maccabi Haifa at home with a half strong/weak team. I know it's a League Cup game but it's still a Spurs v Chelsea fixture. Would be surprised if Mourinho doesn't try and field the strongest XI possible for this, especially after losing 3 times to Lampard.

MIND GAME KLAXON!

"Interesting" hairstyle...

Mendy and Chilwell in squad for tomorrow. Ziyech and Pulisic won't be but they are not far away.

Oh look, Guardiola dumping more money on defenders...

The one Lampard brought in is supposedly not a defensive coach per se.

Am sure the other players will accept we didn't play well yesterday but this is like the second time Werner has mentioned our not-so-good performance publicly this season..

Oh god, Liverpool are gonna win the league again, aren't they?

First time Guardiola's team have conceded 5 goals in a game.

Alisson and Thiago are apparently injured for tomorrow, for starters.

Doesn't matter. Same thing happened when he was at Liverpool.

Rodgers will do well when things are going well but when things are going downhill, he doesn't know how to stop it.

But Ziyech is someone who plays further forward. We don't have a Fabregas-type midfielder in midfield or even someone with that ability in defence. Maybe Silva can fill that role, I don't know but overall, we have a bunch of useless passers in defence and midfield.

True but at the same time, we don't pass the ball direct enough. We don't have anyone who is capable of playing those long balls over the top for example. We just keep on pass, pass, pass like 1000 times before the ball gets to the front players. I don't expect us to build the team fully around Werner like Leicester do with Vardy but there are elements of their game which we can replicate to get the best out of Werner and even Pulisic, CHO etc.

If Leicester somehow manage to challenge for the Top 4 again, they could potentially put us, United, Arsenal, Spurs etc to shame if none of us get the act together...

He once said he will not manage Barcelona because of his past ties with Espanyol but recently, he came out and backtracked on those comments, basically saying he regretted what he said about not taking the Barcelona job. So...

This new kit is seriously rubbish!

Indeed. Thought he drifted in and out of the game too much and then faded off in the second half, which maybe isn't surprising given he's still adjusting and all, but yeah.

That's the only shot they've had on target in their last two league games. Talk about dire. They have had only 3 shots on target in the Premier League this season and scored from each of them.

For context...

This is new coming from you...

But Mount is no winger, is he? At least he would feel more comfortable playing in midfield.
