Magic Lamps

how is that not a red on mane. he recklessly lunges in and almost breaks the goalies arm.

clearest violent conduct therefrom mane on fabianski. obviously will be awarded the goal and a yellow on fabianski by the corrupted var

tbf Moutn despite being played in his best posession looked average af IMO. he misplaced a ton of passes,underhit mostly which would have sent other players through on goal. he really needs to work on his passing. Also i dont like his selfish shooting. he has very little shot power so he needs to place his shots better

And that was with Emerson. Mendy and Chilwell (and Silva) on the pitch together are yet to concede a goal. Is it too early to say FL finally fixed the defence? i said all we Need is Alonso and Kepa upgraded and the defence issues would mostly fix themselves. Looks like I was right

I dread Mendy injury the most, then Chilwell then Thiago. Rüdiger or Tomorrow are capable backups but the other two virtually have none

Good play. i would enjoy this more if I didn’t know how fragile this glory is. All it takes is an injury to Mendy or Chilwell which will inevitably happen due to the looming intl break and we are stuck with the shits again which will fuck this all up.

We shouldn’t get too complacent here. Even if 3-0 up we should not put showboating about boosting goal stats

Werner should not even have played. He looked very tired today but still makes his mark. The team is finally clicking

We look like prime Barca here

Finally zouma gets his headed goal from corner he has been getting at the end of every cross for ages now and finally gets it

We should forget about crosses they just are derailed by the wind

We really should have Werner on the halfway line for opposition corners. one lose ball or easy catch and he is away

I didn’t see what exactly happened to him?

This is why Werner is not that good in the wing he is not a 1 on 1 player and his delivery is not always on point. Pukisic absence really hurts us badly

Great football so far. Really picked them apart so far

Tammy our best playmaker so far lol nice passing from him

Ziyech diagonals are gorgeous

Werners cutbacks are terrible today

We don’t get a pen for wrestling on iously we won’t get one for a nudge

The wind is crazy tye ball comes coming back to us but every cross gets blown away

Kinda interesting lineup. will be nice to see how Kai performs in a 4-3-3. Other than Werner he surely did not overexert himself in midweek so should be fresh. No idea what is up with kovacic lately. He is so good on ball could be useful in matches like these were we need to beat players 1on1

Burnley surely will be more of a fight than skeleton crew Krasnodar. It depends whether Ziyech, Kai et al can handle theirthugball. Also Silva vs the much bigger men Barnes and Wood will be interesting. If we handle their phyiscality well by simply not letting them get near the bal and run them tiredwe will surely win but one bad fuckup at the back and they park the bus it will get tough.

Not so sure. On current form, Son is better than any of our attackers and in his prime. But we have a player who on his day can unlock any defence in the world and that is Ziyech. We have to get him on the ball as often as possible. this game could be tailor made for Giroud to start to give Tarkowski and his fellow thugs a something to be occupied with and bring Werner on as sub as I expect Burnley to be stand so deep there will be hardly any space for Timo. I can also see us needing RJ's strength to contain their physical threat which is basically everything they have on an individual level. Just heavy, thuggish players. If Havertz starts he is in for a rough ride.

The first sentence is correct but neither did Higs play under Conte nor did he ever score 2 goals vs Burnley

Similar to Krasnodar, thug defenders and no pace. The really should press them into their own half with a high line and let Puli and Ziyech work their magic.
