I would give Azpilicueta some rest and play James instead. Also, I would name Sarr in the starting eleven too. We don't know when we will need him again. Rüdiger can rest.

We have buyback option of 40 million pounds. Of course, it only means we are allowed to negotiate with him if we put this amount of cash on the table, if he doesn’t want to return or prefers to join other team it not obligation for Tino. They are quite obvious contenders, but Chalobah and RLC were underdogs, that’s more what I meant. Training with reserves.

Amazing. Who would have predict him or Chalobah will not only be part of the squad but performing regularly in PL/CL? Who’s next? Musonda? Baker? Baba Rahman?

That team was different. We scored goals for fun but also ended up conceding 32 goals. Of course it is important not to be impotent in front of the opponents box but we were nowhere near this stable defensively under Carlo.

Great game.. Norwich seem to be in the level of 06/07 Derby and 10/11 Blackpool, just awful.

Livramento goal against Burnley. Better save that 40 million pounds i the pocket for him.

Not sure how this works.. Had similar thoughts when Southgate called up Reece while TT claimed he was doing underwater trainings. Do NT team medicals have oppurtunity to check upon players’ condition in person? Or have access to medical papers? I really don’t know. Hopefully we will do well without Timo and Big Rom and they can sit out next shity International break..

Maybe they are out for 2-3 weeks but club don't want to leak anything about their condition to make them unavailable to pick for next international break.

Just please stay safe from now on…Weather is horrible.

Great finish, very hard situation. Well done by CHO but pass was too strong, not everybody could have converted this to goal..

Very hard to manage this.. Lukaku could have been kicked by Norwich players after being rested today, Werners injury might have occured on training too.. I don’t know if you follow NBA, Kawhi Leonard were rested a lot during last season at Clippers so he will be fresh for playoffs. Then, in an important game, he suffered a serious knee injury. Sometimes you are just unlucky, even if you mean good.

Still to big/strong guy who can only be replaced by CHO, Havertz, Ziyech or Pulisic. Meanwhile Azpilicueta is CB and Kante/Jorgi/Kova is CM. We can be in trouble when defending corners/free kicks.

Shit, Werner too? We will play Saturday 12.30.. Not very positive so far. What if both him and Lukaku will be out for weeks?

Hopefully no biggie, TT just decided not to force as we are leading 2-0 after 20 mins. Rom needs some break anyway. See you this weekend!

I am also worried about Azpi, Kante, Lukaku being overused. We need 15-16 sharp players to perform well for 9 months in multiple competitions, not 11. Also, these games would be good oppurtunity to help Kepa not to lose line as he will be nr1 for weeks soon.

Well, Malmö game is perfect oppurtunity to ice him. Havertz hasn’t featured much lately, let’s see him with Timo.

Anyone got update on Sigurdsson? Tried to make some research but found nothing. He has not named in Everton squad this season but nor really communicated about his deal.

Osimhen will be very hard to purchase from Napoli. De Laurentiis don't really let their best players to be sold. They managed to keep Koulibaly, Insigne, Fabian Ruiz, Zielinski.. They payed 70M for Osimhen, probably they will demand crazy money to make him move, but if he keeps playing like this he will be a wanted man.

I think truth is somwhere in the middle. He did have shaky moments and obvious mistakes, but considering how few minutes he got so far(and he also was a substitute player for Porto) he was decent. Trevoh also had scary moments but his clearance from goal line was amazing, 2 seconds before he was nowhere near but his sixth sense made him run between the posts. One could see on Christensen that he is the oldest, most mature and experienced CB in the trio. Big improvement from him. His talent was never doubt but 1-2 years ago he could only perform well if his fellow defenders played good aswell.

Very hard game.. We were not playing good, still amazing we managed to win an away PL-game with Sarr, Chalobah and Loftus-Cheek in the starting eleven. Credits to Brentford, they were pushing very hard.

What a monster..

Is he? I would have assumed he is for one of the PA teams since he is Hershey boy. Thiago is not injured, he is in quarantine. Still no good situation but at least healthy.

Any people actually care about 4-30th rankings? I don't even get why they nominate 30 players.. Nobody could think in their right mind that Bonucci, Chiellini, Barella, Kjaer, Azpilicueta, Mahrez or Gerrard Moreno would win.. Or could many other names.

Why would he go there? He is still important member of the team, nowadays his performances getting better. If he decides to depart he will likely to have option next summer to join Bayern or BVB. Newcastle squad is completely trash now, they are need years of building to permanently sneak up on top6 teams.
