Magic Lamps

Mount still has been poor. the occasion has gotten to Kai. He is usually perfectly comfy with RW. Just not his day

The three signings yet to play. Mendy, Chilwell and ziyech should make us so much better give how poor their predecessors have been today. Same old story over and over again

RLC was so bad, Barkley of all people instantly transforms the match goal was obviously 100% down to Kepa. A defense should always allow shots from there and expect the goalie to catch them

The weird pre season and stuff is taking its toll, all look rusty. Playing a bit 424 like really puts Havertz too wide and RLC is completely out of his depth down the middle. It sadly looks like he has been absolutely finished as a top player by that useless friendly in the states. And if Lamps really trusts that dud over an actual winger like CHO we need to sign another winger simple as

Alonso, RLC terrible. Christensen Zouma look rock solid so far. Passing is super rusty. Wtf are they training. Weird approach to the game playing on the counter. Will be a nervy 2nd half

The failure to put one clean pass into timos path is criminal. His runs are laser sharp. Havertz been invisible so far. Mount and RLC plain wasteful

Not sure. They don’t have any real pace or prolific goal scorer but sure there will be chances for them. my feeling is a nervy win. If we lose we can at least still blame it on Kepa , Alonso and Christensen lol

Still have to see RLC to be any useful from the start since his injury. Big ask of him today. Can’t see this game being easy. With Pulisic I am sure we would have had to ok much for them. Small teams can’t handle 4 danger players to deal with but Kai and Timo only might not be enough. tLc and Mount really have to put in a shift. But we should be able to control midfield with that plethora of mids. Expect Brighton to sit back and try to counter. No idea if they are any good at it

At least plenty of height in that lineup. 5 players above 6’2+ And 4 more above 1,80. Mount and Kante the only tiny players. Scenes if we still concede from a header

Weird lineup with 0 wingers. But any lineup with Kai and Timo in it should do for me

Why does Timo bring pretzel sticks to training tho?😂

There is a reason he was a squad option at a mediocre Lyon side. Even the great defensive performances they put in in CL they did so without him.

Beautiful header that was the top. So deserved for Everton should be up higher. at least one result is going our way. That is if we consider spuds a rival lol

richarlison doing the torres

Makes you think all those players might not be that good after all. Apart from Reguilon, who probably is a tier above Leicester I have never been really convinced with any of them too.

I guess he will unveiled the coming week. Maybe even play next Sunday. When Kepa was signed he made his debut 2 days later.

Obligatory penalty for pool to win it.., yawn

Doubters? No one doubted his ability to perform on u21 level. he has done so for ages. He has to show it consistently at pro level

I havent found one but his passing is not even the worst. It is his sweeping. he similarly clueless when to come out for the ball as Onana. Looks absolutely ridiculous, like a fish on land. I think we are going for Mendy bc he can keep the pressure off the defense for crosses and set pieces with his ridiculous wingspan. Teams will probably just go for near post corners then to cause havoc but wtf i know. i think onana and maignan would both be better deals but all 3 are not exactly world class.

was always gonna be the case no matter how early we signed the guys, the preseason is so damn short and shortened even more by that batshit international break. So likely lineup ------------------Kepa------------- Azpi-----Rüdiger--Zouma--Alonso -----------Kante----Kovacic--------- -Ziyech--------Havertz-------Werner -------------------Giroud---------------- would be my guess. Can also see CHo starting for Giroud and Werner as CF. We will surely concede some sutpid goals but in the first few weeks we have full week breaks so there is still time to iron errors out.

they never learn, do they. how stupid they are to allow the girl to publish it on snap too

I actually dont mind the red in the kit. It's the faded stripes that suck. The pensioners with their red uniforms are a symbol of the club so I would not mind a proper red kit for once but why not cut the pretence and omit the stripes. The crest on a plain red retro kit would have been alright.

wilson is slower after his injury but the other two are rapid. i always hated playing them anyway but without snailonso we should be fine

good deal. Reasonably talented player in the prime of his career. would not have mind him as a 4th choice back up winger but i guess we wanna go the path of sourcing more from our development squad or shift players within the squad instead of signing merely ok players on high wages to make up the numbers.

classic Löw anyway. Werner delivering an absolute homerun of a performance as cm, then Löw needlessly reshuffles the formation and has Werner switch his position with a slow out of form winger.
