Magic Lamps

Phew. Inflamed tendons are a moderately severe injury. Ampng the most common injuries among athletes. Depending on how flamed it is he will need to reduce training volume for a few weeks, so might take a month max till he is match fit again. The good thing is he does not need to stop working out completely, he needs no surgery and it will heal completely with no long term consequences expected.

Dafuq whats going on this season. At least its happens at a time where Ngolo is cominh back so we have enough cover. Lets hope its nothing serious and he just recovers over the international break

Welll so far he only scored vs sides that were Championship last season. If he scores braces vs Wolves and Pool as well the debate will be a different one.

Every striker struggles against packed defences. The 2nd goal he creates space himself. And he used to be quite wasteful even on counter attacks

He is. The one on one used to be his weakness now its his stength. When a player with that amount of pace learns how to finish at that speed he is some force. He is like the Salah or Mane of central strikers right now in this form, maybe even a bit quicker. That second goal was brilliant, clinical like a surgeon.

I agree. There is only performance at youth level and loans to refer to but if that is anything to go by the ranking is comfortably James>>Mount>Abraham But it is not only that we have been given plenty of reason to think James is good enough but simply bc of Azpis form he deserves a chance.

What a strike. Imagine the slack Zouma would get for an own goal....oh wait

I dont mind the result or all the weird decisions bringing on Gillmour and shit. But what really got my red alert going was when Lamps said we should have gone for the 3-0 to put the game to bed. That was just a bad reading of the game..this was not one of those days were everything works for you and just demolish the opposition. No it was a nervy low quality which our in form striker should have won for us. But as said in the match thread our game management was piss poor. Mourinho would have brought on Mikel and game over. We need to be able to do this. To have the option of just seeing an mediocre game out. There is no reason to keep the game open after a 2-0 lead.we have witnessed almost all kinds of fucking games up in within almost 5 games in the season. Obviously experienced teams or managers should have the edge in tight situations but this is just poor. With our defence even a 3-0 does not put the game to bed. Still Lamps talks about attacking better. We should work out our Defence first. I begin to think he has no real concept of defending apart from pressing. We really should seek some help tactically here. Oppositions always target exploiting Azpi with one twos and shit and it always works. The midfield does not offer enough protection for Zouma bc we got 0 DMs rn. The team is young, promising fun to watch but there needs to be some kind of professionalism to see these kinds of games out and neither the manager nor the more experienced players are providing it.

Gilmour you clown. thats it

now throw everyhting up the ptich. no matter another goal vs us no. we need to show some fight.

we are so fucking poor at the back. and again from azpis side who could not stop the cross

damn gillmour is tiny. he looks like he's 12

Bats and Gillmour. Good call. kovacic looks absolutely knackered.

we just look completely out of gas. Lamps should make a change. but we do not have any more impact players on the bench tomori got balls of steel tho.

Pulisic just fucking dive

damn azpi and pulisic dont work on that side at all. pulisic has the pace but not the tackling skills, for azpi it is vice versa.

Azpi beaten on his side again. great defending zouma.

dafuq is jorginho playing there. he should the ball get up the field.

and back to his old self. Sicne coming on, Wilian has already given away the ball 3 times.

great pass willian

Willian lining up has lit a fire under Barkley's ass. Pulisic has been a bit out of his depth once more today.

how did Tammy not score there. what a set up by azpi tho OMG

Azpi loses the duel, Jorginho goes jogging, Tomori in no-mans land and Zouma los this man. It is not just individual errors, we are just piss poor defending as a unit. Rüdiger's return wil not solve that.AS brilliant as our attacking play has been this season, he seems a bit out of his depth defensively. Maybe we should hire another defence assistant coach.

our defending is so annoying. caught ball watching again. again over azpi's side.

I dont like the rule either. In German we call that "Luftaus" and in amateur football the ref usually allows the teams to play on if the ball is out of play but does not touch the ground
