Strike

or this is just journos putting two and two together. Chilwell has 4 years left on deal and held out for 80 m for Maguire. Chelsea have a transfer ban in January and City also have issues at left back. I am not convinced

Hope this is minor and not a repeat Azpi has been solid in recent weeks but if he is playing every game, it is going to affect the team. Would love some fresh ideas from the right back instead of sticking the predictable cross into the box.

I can see United approaching Pochettino soon

and it was pure instinct. He controls the ball over the top and he senses the keeper is near and lifts it over him. Even if he missed by an inch or so, can't fault the idea. Not many strikers in the league who would even make a chance out of that situation.

Alonso has height but he has concentration issues with setpieces

Ah. Vintage Willian

Yes. Rudi, new CB and Tomori for rotation will be a beast defense.

Oh dear. One attack to defend

It was Hudson Odoi with the assist for Tammy and William for Mount. Are you blazed Manpe?

Should be 3!

Noticed this. Alonso has watched every long ball carefully

Brilliant. Mount just blasted that in

WHAT A FINISH TAMMY

I would have loved to see James instead of Azpi in this one. Also, Willian for the 4th game in a row? In spite of the goal at Lille, he had an erratic game.

To be fair very little of the criticism here has been on any youth. Willian, Zouma and Alonso are the ones copping most of the shit today

Great shot from Jorgi

PETITION TO END ZONAL MARKING

At least he worked hard in this game. Ran himself to the ground pressing Brighton players. In his first few years here, it was a given that he would work like a horse and in last couple of years, that has dropped off. Hopefully, playing under Lampard and around these young players makes him rediscover his workrate even though he is older.

I think the minutes can be given at Chelsea itself instead of loaning him. Its Willian and Pedro for competition FFS. They can't keep getting away with sub-par performances when there is an option like Pulisic on the bench.

Yep i would rather see Mount in attacking positions really. Rather than the usual shitshow And throw CHO, Pulisic on into the mix in place of Willian

Why not play Pulisic or Callum?

Not Pedro and Willian. Never together! Valencia at home was enough. Pulisic, Callum, Mount - enough options for the wide positions.

Is there a way to incorporate margin for error in VAR?

A little bit yes. Mane practically stopped tracking back to Azpi. But there was a sense of calmness with which they approached the task of scoring the goals. They were no longer trying to attack in a state of frenzy. Just wish Bats or Mount finished!

The injuries to Christensen and Emerson left Lampard without an alternative
