Strike

We didn't know this was the case. Inter's board knows how it has turned out in his previous club. I won't be surprised if he leaves tbh

They may not be as relentless but they still look comfortably good enough for 85+ points. And they seem to be targeting depth like Jamal Lewis at left back, a striker to rotate the front 3. Klopp and the Liverpool recruitment team have been bang on with their signings for years apart from Minamino (jury still out) and Karius.

Lovely. Nothing like a long drawn out transfer saga.

Ya, some friends who cannot afford regular games at the Bridge often used to go to Fulham vs Chelsea and they never felt that Fulham was a 'rival' Not that going to a game is gonna be an option anytime soon but still

Yeah. Mad. Explosives recovered from a ship. So unfortunate if true

Do we need a stop gap though? Think we need two starting CBs anyway

The visuals from Beirut are horrific

Now I get why Lampard's asking for a later start date

Sky said Chelsea joined a queue of clubs. ESPN is saying talks are at an advanced stage. ESPN is a bottom tier source except for articles by Mitten, Dawson and Ogden (Going by the reddit transfer rumor reliability guide)

If he's not accepting a squad role or accepting a 2-year deal (already very generous) then this is the time to let him go.

A left-back is a higher priority than central defence. Inter and Juve are interested in Emerson, Spanish teams could also make offers for Marcos. I can see the club waiting it out for Chilwell and signing Tagliafico if it doesn't work out. Don't want either tbh

Best of the loan army this year. 4000+ minutes across Charlton, Swansea. Loked vv tidy and played at a high standard in a deeper midfield role at Swansea. Just don't do an Ampadu and send him to a club with too many options for his position! Looking at the league, something like Graham Potter's Brighton or Southampton (with Pierre-Emile Hoj-something leaving) would be ideal but the club should ensure he gets a fair chance at a starting role.

What happens to him next season?

It is a surprise how much Rudi has regressed this year. In the last two years, I'd be confident he would stop most of the Arsenal counters down that right side yesterday by using his pace and power. Don't think there's any danger of Rudi being sold this summer. I think Zouma might be for a good fee or Tomori is loaned even though selling Rudi/Chris/Zouma makes more sense

Pedro, Azpi and Pulisic injured. Alonso and Jorgi suspended. Want Kante, Emerson, CHO and Tomori to start this and give it a go

Then when you least expect it, there's a decent performance.

Yeah, you're right. This stings

The moment we took the lead, we slowed the play down and started looking to pass backwards to the CBs. Allowed Arsenal back into the game and then got outplayed in the first half. Was drinking last night and thought it was all down to the ref's shitshow. But on reflection, we were at sea and experienced defenders with extra protection at the back do not have the discipline to keep Arsenal at bay. Thankfully, we should be done with Alonso, Rudi, Azpi as starters and invest in new defenders, promote Tomori

How did the ref AND VAR miss the goalie handling outside the box?

ROBBED. Up there with the dark days. I'm screaming at the TV like Drogba in 09

WTF he caught the ball outside the box. Where is the replay?

Wow. He caught it outside ?

Yep. This one's on Frank.

Too fucking easy. Breezed past midfield and second time Zouma shifted inside instead of watching Auba. FFS. I'm gonna stop drinking

HOW IS THAT A FUCKING FOUL REF? A WIND BLOWS ON AN ARSENAL PLAYER AND ITS A FOUL
