Thats just ridiculous haha. Dont tell me that based on one shit performance we were smart to sell Salah, same guy who scored 31 goals in PL and 10 CL goals this season. Their front 3 clearly lacked the energy after Roma game, but we also had good plan indeed. Another time and we might concede 3 in first half. Im convinced he wont be. He was already good in Roma last season. Maybe he wont score 40 goals again, but he is pretty much guaranteed 20 goal man who also proved in key matches. Its not like he scores only tap ins against shit teams. Are yout two actualy believing that he will be one season wonder based on reasonable facts or is all this just to downplay Pool player just because he isnt here anymore?

IMO, we should go back to 4:3:3, Azpi right and Emerson left.

Yup this is where Pool missed coutinho's playmaking and long shot. ---- Great win and still chance for top 4. I know it was shit season, but if we end next two PL and FA final with win, I can safely say Im alot more positive for next season than last year. Last year we won title, but fa final was a disaster and I still remember everyone say we have to improve big big time in summer because we got exposed. I was very woried for thia season after that defeat, unless we strenghtened in summer which didnt happen. If we win next 3 games (regardless of managing 4th place), it will show promise and I think exciting next season. Rudiger, Kante and Eden were fantastic today. On other hand, as I said before Cesc is biggest liability. We need top playmaker in summer and I would pay serious cash for top midfielder...fullbacks, striker, rw,...all that should be secondary.

Crystal palace having worst first half of season and they are 11 on table now. Who would believe they can pull it off?

Juve defeated Madrid two weeks ago aswell.

Sell him this summer. That way we get cash and there are two top keepers that we could get in Alisson and Oblak. Jus dont wait to let him go next year for free and possibility on missing quality replacement in either Alisson or Oblak. Im done listening to his bs and he isnt even world class GK, one good performance in 5 decisive matches isnt good enough.

Why do you still read media, 4/5 of the "news" is bs anyway. Problem solved Their liga record is awful tbh, they got lucky in CL over and over again. But luck isnt just given, they do have very strong mentality and never give up in CL games.

No. A year ago, fine. But the club brought too much deadweight already. Maybe we dont have the cash to buy 100m+ player, but lets not kid ourselves we cant afford to spend big. Last summer we spend over 200m and I have no doubt we can do the same this season (considering we should sell some aswell). Money was never the problem. But when you spend 100m on Drinkwater, Bakayoko and Barkley... There will always be cheaper options that have huge potential and quality. Sadly I have no trust our board can pull such transfers

Past it or not, what people should see is that after pushing to Bayern move few years ago, realizing his dream move, now playing there for years, he looks like he couldnt give two shits and he probably doesnt. Thiago, Kimmich, Alaba were seriously dissapointed and thats what you want from your team. Lewa went in this tie unsure if he should wear Bayern or Real shirt and the two performances show that. There was zero grit in him to win the game. Dont forget he was pissed about teammates last year for not winning golden boot. Fits perfectly with Real

Muller and Lewa were crap in both legs. Lewa was decent in linkup, but he was nowhere to be found threatening real defence. If Bayern had Robben instead of Muller, they would won the game IMO. On side note, Im getting sick of Real always getting away with it, I dont mind Pool winning it at all. Most of their fans are idiots indeed, but the team deserves it the way they played so far, credit where its due.

Only way to see him work is if he improves tactical understanding of the game. He has plenty of talent, but he is problematic. Maybe he could be next Anelka for us, but we need solid main striker first.

Because money. They eventualy stop giving 100%. Just look the odds who makes it in top football, most had difficult childhoods, our youngsters have it all on silver platter since they are like 10. Terry was cleaning boots, Ruben, Odoi, Chalobah, Mceachran are/were driving ferraris at same age. Its very hard to keep strong mentality then. For poor kids, football is everything, for rich ones, its only a side job. Sure there are extremes too, but I guess our staff doesnt know how to lead our youth after they become indipendent with proper guidances.

Credit where its due, Pool plays super football. Bvb under Klopp in 2013 was something else and Pool is turning to be the same case again. They deserve to be in final based on games so far. And speaking of Salah, he is only good because of the style that Pool plays has to be funniest excuse to cover the pain we have since he isnt here anymore and we made bad decision. Salah is world class, period. His finishing, confidence, speed and movement is sublime. Even the passes and decisions he makes are almost evry time spot on.

Lost to Barca 3:0... Well in a way, I think its a good that we lost. Kids will learn money isnt all and the loss will be good experience. Its important that not everything is perfect in their world, they need to work harder and keep improving if they want to become great.

There are many options we could easily target if we want young player, but we would need to open wallet. From Savic, Paredes, Soler, Weigl, Ndombele, Aouar,... Soler or Aouar, maybe Paredes would be my choices if we go strictly for playmaker replacement. But considering that is very demanding and responsible role, young player is out of question. So, are there any world class established playmakers available? Seri might be solution for a while, but he has some condition with feet in cold environments and he prefers sunny spain over england. Maybe we could poach Kovacic from Real, but our board would have to pull a miracle there, small odds. Another option would be Jorginho, but apparently he is close to City ffs.

Congrats. Wonderful player.

First name on the sheet that has to be upgraded. Forget fullbacks, striker, wingers,...we need new damn good playmaker. Its the case of last 3 years and hopefuly we adress it this summer. Midfield is where everything sticks together and if we had capable playmaker next to Kante, I bet we will be twice the team next year even with same formation and coach.

His heading was never a problem. Feet are other thing, and he is still as unreliable as daily mail.

If we are actualy copying our older retro kit, it would be only proper to add old badge to it. But I doubt anyone there is smart and bold enough to make this simple change.

I would understand if GKs kept his shots, but he doesnt even hit the target ffs.

I wont give up on either bakayoko or Morata, but jesus how awful they were this season. 110m transfers and they dissapoint almost every game. Hopefuly next season they fix their shit.

Emerson doing realy well with crosses so far...hopefuly it gives Conte something to think about even when Alonso is available.

What a fluke

Im actualy excited about this lol. I just hope Conte wont pull some shit and play Zappacosta or Azpi on that side...

Its funny he was prefered in national team ahead of Costa, despite being sub all this time. Now that he is ''starter'', he plays so bad that he got dropped from NT. We realy know how to minimize the potential and ability of the players, dont we.
