Magic Lamps

RLc currently does not look like he will ever be able to play actual professional football again -.-

first ever decent stop from kepa there

the one thing Pulisic has over hazard from our perspective that for him Chelsea is the dream destination when for hazard it was madrid

would be ironic to either score or concede three in the first game with that hideos logo

fabianski with the time wasting. let shope he regrets this

Pulisic is so close always.unlcuky chap

we cant score from open play so we score from set pieces. wrong world this

If we got our act together there still would be enough time. But we had our window. If we get that 1-0 into halftime and steady ourselves we win this shitty match but we are too incompetent to see off games. Rüdiger and Kepa are absolute trash tho. I was in the Rüdiger camp before but now I see he is hopeless. Same for kepa And don’t get sour hopes up. Wham can easily get this over the line cos they know how to defend in numbers

We have been a mystery this season. As soon as you think we turned a corner and come good again we turn kn a stinker like today

that is it. we can not even defend from open play now

West spam cant play footy to save their lives. if we dont win this we dont deserve cl

our players in the box always just stand there like saltpillars no movement ot open up angles

i remember when Cresswell had the same hype aroudn him like Chilwell today... bang average player

Azpi did everything he could restricting that header to be a weak one against a player a foot taller. All kepa has to do is stay on his fucking line. not sure what abraham was doing there either.

they scored with 100% of their corners -.- and rüdiger/kovacic gifted them one. so needless. we can not give them even a single set piece so dumb

it struck antonios hand, half his body was offside, he obstructed Kepa in an offside position and it was a foul by Soucek. clearer non-goal has never been there.

clearly not a legit goal. rarely seen something crappier than this

clear offside, handball and obstrution on kpa

it was so coming

The water breaks and the 5 subs really play to Lampards strengths as a great reader of the game and motivator. He really has improved at being more cautious in his approach to games and grind out results. Still his insistence on Barkley and Mount is worrying. Surely he prefers them because of their work ethic and commitment to his tactics. But he must see that they are bang average players and should have squad roles here at best.

I dont think we will win big with our current strikeforce. From the chances created we could have scored 100 goals or more this season. I hope it will change with Werner. Maybe it is the tempo but even good finishers like Batshit turn to j-league players as soon as they get presented by a chance in our setup.

I wouldn't have thought that this Ray Hudson guy was a native speaker. He sounds like a Kiwi who learned English exclusively by reading some 19th century Dan Leno theatre playbook. And not a good one.

Fernandes hitting form worries me. Before his arrival ManUre couldnt tear down a low blok to save their lives. Now they do so with ease. And they still dont concede. They had probably their best 11 playing today and it looked like they finally clicked. Pogba in a more subdued role makes sense cos he is actually not that good despite his hype and let the superior Fernandes run the show. I really hope they fuck up at least once but can not see it happening at the moment. We on the other hand still struggle to break down buses and are prone to concede. Really need that win tomorrow.

I think they should at least be given a tour of the facilities, introduced to the squad and the staff and get some help finding houses so they can adjust quickly and already feel home when they return from their respective summer breaks.

Alaba has only become cb out of necessity tho and Bundesliga is more tactical and less physical than PL. but the main difference is that Alaba has elite technical abilities (often plays as no. 10 for Austria) which allow him to solve many. Ake is solid with the ball but his strength is his Mobility/ agility allowing him to be the more aggressive cb for the early tackles and blocks. His abilities to play out from the back have not really developed at Bournemouth. Whilst we could somewhat use a defender with either skillset, I don’t see Ake as an upgrade on any of our defenders. Also he is 25 already, and looks a finished article . We should stay true to our new transfer motto and either buy absolute quality or nothing at all.
