Strike

Did seriously well today to hang on. Liverpool have begrudgingly got a good team - only defense is a question mark

Puts our own defeat last weekend in perspective

City winning the league in August this time

Makes me think the Andre Santos loan move is not the best idea.

Early signs are Havertz to Arsenal and Mount to United were both smart flips by the board. Mount is injured to be fair but doesn't look like a 60m midfield asset

United look well off it this season. Could be an opening in the top 4

Well deserved for Jackson

Jackson is playing fine for me. Needs support

Only turnovers are leading to any chances. The team is missing an attacker when Luton have players behind the ball

What a chance, Chilwell.

Other clubs will be in for him. Won't go for a sensible price

Like the planning suggests, we are better ready and equipped for 2024-25 than the current season.

Like the Loan Army of the 2010s, many will disappear.

Attack and the team as a whole is looking weaker because of Nkunku and Reece injuries. The team is fine and just need to move in the market now for top quality talent like Osimhen, Kvara, Leao Vlahovic, Nunez, Brennan Johnson, Balogun - all of them are bad ideas.

Perhaps makes sense Santos gets good gametime on loan now that both Caicedo and Lavia were signed. Too many options

Looks like the striker movement is over. No one in the market for a 50m striker at present. We should ask the Saudi club interested in Lukaku to buy Vlahovic and help us do the Juve deal

This seems to be the best option. Just hope there's no random signing in the next week

An issue with the crazy spending we have done is that football is system dependant and one guy who looks good in one system could be a total misfit in another. It is difficult to look at someone’s talent and say they will be incrementally good for 8 year period Wish the club had only gone out and spent big on sure-fire talents like Enzo. I am not convinced by either Mudryk or Caicedo (not beyond doubt at least). In one year, everything could change and a new set of wingers and defensive mids will be the flavour of the month.

I dont think the club should sign an attacker for 'goals'. Keep buying players who fit the system, who run and press well, and the goals will eventually come. Last thing we need is another 'goalscoring' signing that will compromise the system-based players we have

Chaotic performance. No one is composed Would have been better off having Chilwell there on the left

Hilarious . The number of defenders who missed a basic clearance there

Nkunku is a big miss. Mudryk, Jackson, Sterling - are doing a lot of good runs and dribbles but lack the finish

Sterling looked off pace in pre-season but has really sharpened up now

Never like a stutter in a penalty unless it is a Hazard or Jorginho technique. Terrible pen though Enzo's playing well.
