Hutcho

Unfortunately yes he has

He got the second most votes for player of the season. Difference with jorginho is that mount gives his all every game and adds to a game when he does nothing offensively.

Again. That's your opinion. So what? So everyone can slam mount as somehow being at fault for anything

Ok that's your opinion. So in your opinion he was our 5th best player... Your point is what then? Let's all shit on mount and get annoyed when he gets selected?... :/

Haha might be a good shout. I do strongly think some people on here want us to do shit just so they can be proven right about whatever lineup is chosen.

Kovacic 1. Pulisic played half the games. And he was definitely better than tammy. Willian arguably could be

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

He was our second best player last season and other than kante does the most running of anyone. The most toxic thing is TC and the alleged Chelsea fans on here [emoji23]

Of course he is. He also offers nothing going forward on the left. I would play azpi but not that outrageous to pick a left footed left back on the left. I wouldn't select this lineup either. But we are against a better team at this stage so I can we why mount us playing wide for the pressing. And why he wants Werner at the top so we can counter. It's not an awful lineup at all. People are acting like CHO is Ronaldo who's been missed out. And I repeat havertz played right wing a lot for leverkusen so it's not that outrageous. I know it's TC and everyone is a hyper critical negative nancy but today is up there.

Well it's alonso or a right footed left back. So not exactly much different. Havertz has played more on the right wing than in centre mid by a mile. We have kepa and willy and mendy isn't with us yet. What were you expecting. Who else would you like to play in the 3? RLC or Barkley. The only legit thing that people could be a bit confused at is the lack of CHO.

Team looks decent. Hopefully havertz is up to speed and we can hit them on the counter. Should be some extreme pressing with Werner and Mount. We will miss pulisic and ziyech but shit happens

Loving the optimism on here [emoji23]

If havertz is fully ready to go though in franks mind then fuck it. But we can't have any passengers vs pool because they will capitalise

I think mount has got to play for work rate alone. Particularly when some of the players are gonna take a while to get up to speed. But I would play mount as the most advanced mid in a 3 in midfield rather than wide. Chuck havertz on last 30 mins if we need a goal or more creativity. But the lineup could be anything. Pumped.

What reason would he have to do it then? I don't see how anyone can think Frank has some sort of vendetta against any players. Sure he has his favourites and CHO may not be one of them but I'm sure theres a reason for it and it's most likely down to training or style. But as I said hopefully we will see him start tommorrow. He hasn't taken any of the chances given to him by Frank yet so when he gets one he needs to take it

Seems weird how Liverpool did fuck all for ages and are now going guns blazing after the season has started

I think Frank wants players who are gonna work super hard and give it all and CHO hasn't seemed to do that recently and he wants players that's gonna press hard and track back. But he's still super young for someone who's been around the squad for a while. But I do agree I'd like to see him get some more game time especially with players are out as he has so much talent.

I'm not entirely sure the sample size is anywhere big enough to say its down to the fitness coaches we are having several issues. Ziyech was barely here 2 mins and was a non contact injury. Kante played injured during the Europa final and has had niggles ever since. Chillwell signed injured. Loftus cheek an old injury. Pulisic is the one I'd say potentially may have been mishandled but he seems one of those players who are always injury prone. So I don't think our injury record is anything crazy and is down to anything other than variance and being unlucky. Now if we get new issues keep popping up over the next couple of years then some people may have a point.

I feel like Werner can really hurt them if they play as high a line as I hope they do. Now whether we can get him the ball is another thing. But Kova should be back and he could be the key link between midfield and werner

And to expand on that. We've signed 1 English player this window. You may hate all English players but we do need homegrown players in the squad and whilst that doesn't necessarily mean English it does for 90 percent of them. But you seem to hate FL and English players a bit too much for someone apparently 'supporting' an English club. Although I use supporting very loosely.

With respect. Fuck off

It is a shame there's no fans in the stands. The roar of the crowd when mendy comes and catches a corner would have been funny to hear/be a part of.

It'll be too soon for thiago to play so there's a positive of having them game 2. I think it's probably a good time for us to play them and vice versa.

Probably be more beneficial to just give Petr a match shirt and chuck him in goal. The keeper that Salford bought in league 2 was better than kepa and it wasn't even close. Petr Cech at however old he is now with an arm behind his back would probably be close

Every time I hear him speak I love him a little more. Guys a weapon. Hope he stays here for a long and successful time
