Magic Lamps

It was stupid from Christensen but Mane was already on his way down

Clear dive from Mane

Mount is playing absolute garbage this season. Havertz can play on the wing reasonably well. Mount can not. I can live with one actual winger but not 0

The ref is absolutely disgusting as always when we play the fA darlings

Yeah his most used position is probably the wrong one. When will people understand players can have more than one position. Same as Kante. It’s more about the types of players you select than the formation. Havertz is playing pretty much as a no 10

The ref is out to kill us again

Yup. Brighton are a well oiled side. Our tactics down there were spot on. They were so much fresher than us the way we approached that game was the most adequate one to get the 3 points. It’s not having a creative player like Ziyech or Pulisic available that is crippling us right now +Alonso and Kepa. We will always look poor with these handicaps

The stubbornness this reminds me of is Löws at the 2014 we. Forever playing Özil on the wing, lahm in midfield and höwedes at left back lol. We still won that tourney but it was in spite of these selections

Things being certain are Snailonso getting beaten for pace time and again and being useless in attack and Kepa conceding stupid goals he should save

Terrible lineup. Starting Alonso is basically throwing the towel

Being backup is why he left in the first place so I guess he did not want to return. as for CHO those Mou kdb comparisons come easy. But let’s not forget KDB had years of experience under his belt impressing in Belgium and in Bundesliga. CHO has only impressed vs shit sides in cups and EL not So much vs quality opposition. Also there were many observer praising kdb training effort. Independent of that Yossi Benayoun also was often referred to as the best player in training lol. now only bc Lampard also demands more of CHO in training the guy suddenly turns into kdb and Lamps into Mou? I don’t buy that. The base of this comparison is just paper thin.

we should really go for Telles as back up to Chilwell. Alonso is an utter liability and will cost of tons of points if Chilwell continues to be absent.

Liverpool have a huge advantage. Full squad available and been in training 2 weeks longer than our guys with their early cup exits . No chance of us winning this.

He might be already registered but not announced yet. Anyway Liverpool would have been too soon. I guess he will play next weekend.

I really hope now we have Timo, Kai and Hakim, we can get some of the weight off his shoulders. Defenders foul the shit out of him, but now we have 4 players who draw many fouls and oppositions can not risk this many cards,s o they might have to go a bit easier on him. At times tho I think Pulisic is his own worst enemy, he never takes any prisoners in games and always goes full steam when it would sometimes be smarter to jsut glide past challenges and only launch the afterburners when he has space. I feel he oftne just runs straight into defenders at full pace after picking up the ball in midfield. we need to get him into 1on1s in the final third more where he will always be favourite to beat a player for pace without the defender always risking a foul for a penalty or last man challenge.

Read the exact same like a few days ago. Fabrizio said its done, so its done. No idea why some dubious news outlets keep beating a dead horse.

Could see him becoming the next Sane at pool. Wouldn’t mind Sarr here at all.

Cant see him not succeeding over there but lets just hope he fails miserably

He’s our best player. we will not be playing at our best as long as he is missing. Same time we should be looking at improving without him cos he is always gonna miss half a season with his fragile body catching injurie slept right Centre. All the more flabbergasting Lampard is refusing too use our only fit winger from the start.

And if that doesn’t work they can still hang crosses in the air or wait for corners. That’s worse than the occasional but unpredictable howler cos it gives every opponent an avenue to the scoreboard

Mount at least is still just 21 and already producing better numbers than Willian. I don’t rate him Too much but if he stays on his trajectory he will become a very good player.

A 4th lb for Jose? Maybe after his tall guys fixation he has a left back Fixation now.

Jorginho got an injury and was subbed off.

Mendy won’t be on outrageous wages I guess. He can be shifted If necessary. The problem remains Kepa. For me the Mendy deal is a bit of an inside job. No way we would be looking at him if it weren’t for the lollichon Petr Rennes connection. If that turns out good or bad Idk I just hope he turns out at least decent like Leno, Pope or Dubravka.

No. I could imagine Mendy is a bit of a stop gap himself until a genuine wc goalie comes avaiable. Mendy has his deficiencies and that will cost us. not as much as kepa but is that really the benchmark. when ederson, alisson came to city, pool, their defense woes were mostly sorted all at once. we would need a goalie with a similar impact to challenge for titles and everyone knows it.
