Did our data team throw up Szoboszlai as a target ? He is looking like a really good signing

I remember after a hattrick vs QPR Chelsea fans believing Torres was back

Thank you. Keeping this as an option. But also seeing if I can get tickets anywhere else (Matthew Harding) Anyone has experienced Livefootballtickets? Please let me know.

Doing this. Anyone knows what the actual odds of getting a ticket through the exchange is? Or should I just go to some of the second hand websites and buy from there. This is for Brentford home next month. Anyone with any experience, please share and help a friend 😇

The Tik Tok video posted by Napoli was so stupid

At some point even our hubris board should realise its not the manager. I think we are already getting signs of that- the board backing Poch this week and talking about how they're studying the data which actually shows we're not as bad as people are making it out to be. The ideas from the tactics room have been okay - some strange choices that everyone's pointed out but it is the execution which has been shocking. West Ham, NFO, Villa followed the same pattern- chances not taken and a counter-attack goal out of nowhere reversing the momentum completely. I don't see how a manager change will fix it. It doesn't seem like the squad is against Poch and are clamoring for a change. Hope we stick this out with Poch and see where it goes because like you said, restarting the process will simply set us back further and dissuade any decent footballer from thinking about a Chelsea move.

this is not like lampard/tuchel/potter. if he ditches this conservative approach, there is a team there which can still rescue this season.

He's been playing without a supporting full-back. Ball comes to him and defenders usually double up and there's no one making runs around him. The few occasions he ran at Cash, he managed to beat him and send a cross into the box.

Sanchez has been quietly good imo - He should have saved that Watkins shot but that happens to every keeper. He was solid vs Forest, vs Bournemouth and vs Villa apart from one moment. Mudryk has been poor and should not be starting.

Want to know why in 6 games we have not had Ben Chilwell, our fittest player, playing in his normal LB position he's played all his life.

Story of the game vs Forest, West Ham looked okay but neither airtight in Defense neither able to create chances in attack

We can never seem to beat the GK one v one and we always let one go in

Ridiculous that’s a red one win in the first two months

He was onside. Two one v ones where Sterling has barely lifted his shot

Against tougher oppposition too

Enzo and Connor can swap. Enzo is tiring himself doing the dog work of pressing when he’s the best passer Gallagher unconvincing in pivot again

Within twenty mins it’s clear here that the only outlet to attack is Gusto on the right.

Don’t know what’s the idea with Colwill at LB. Even Guardiola is playing Gvardiol at LB but at least that was because he doesn’t have a left back to pick

Nunes looks good. City have plenty injuries but seem to have no problem dispatching teams.

Andrey Santos not even on the bench at Forest.

Don't see us being a serious contender for Toney unless this slow start improves. He will be a regular at Chelsea or Arsenal but Arsenal are playing much better football, creating more chances. He would want to go there to get a shot at making the England Euros team than come here I reckon. Its the logical choice without considering the money

Sterling on the left and Cole Palmer on the right

City were looking for a LB in the window too. Were looking at Balde from Barca and also Cucurella if the conditions were favorable. But if they really did want Maatsen, they could have put in a bid. The money was reasonable. Looks like his options will be in the Burnley-West Ham range

This. Play Chilly at LB. We have the DMs to cover the space left behind by Gusto/Chilly going forward. Would help the area of the pitch we need to improve - the attack. At the moment there is no plan once we reach the attacking areas
