Giroud is not good at Counter Attacking

We play with a lot of experience. Lets see how Giroud plays

We can´t buy him in January due to the transfer ban

What did Barkley offer in that match? What did Barkley offer las season? Barkley offered us nothing last season and was the reason why Sarri at the beginning struggled to win. Then, RLC came along and he made us better in the offensive point of view. You could argue that Barkley played a very good pre season, but Mount did that too and has way better gas tank than Barkley. Barkley usually gets tired after 60-70 minutes and Sarri for instance usually subbed him off at that time. Tammy has a lot more to offer than Giroud. Tammy is faster, can dribble better, is better at pressing and is as tall as Giroud. Giroud has the better hold up play, but that alone should not make him a starter. When Lamps brought Giroud in the second half, Giroud did nothing that makes me think that he should be a starter. Abraham nearly scored one goal and had bad luck. His hold up play iin the first half was good. Of course it was bad in the second half, but which of our players played good in the second half? Obviosly, Tammy is not perfect, but he will improve. Giroud will only get worse. At the end of the day it is not about experience. It is about how good you are. Azpi for instance has all the experience in the world. Still plays crap since last season. I remember Ivanovic few years ago. He was maybe the worst right back in the history of the PL, even though he had all the experience in the world. There was a time when Ivanovic was rock solid and one of the best defensive right backs in the world. You sound like Mourinho with your experience talk. KDB had no experience and Mou played Lamps instead of a talented KDB and believe me, a lot of people knew that Mou made the wrong decision. I watched KDB a little bit in Bremen and his pre season and knew he was the real deal. Mou´s philosophy was experience and we payed our price for that.

Giroud really did not perform that wel in PL. He most of the time played good in EL and the competition we faced in EL was not that great.

The funny thing is that I can´t see him talking about Zouma. Why is that? Zouma played horribly, but Mou seems to like him...

How is his recovery going? When will he be back? We really need him back as soon as possible

If Zouma makes a stupid tackle, what fault has Lamps in it? Only fault that Lamps made was that he let Zouma play because Rüdiger was not ready. We made four individual mistakes and that is the problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeOr53pxTPg At least Lampard is making the right conclusions of the game. A lot of individual mistakes. What I think is weird is that Mou did not say anything to Zouma´s performance, which was worse that Christensens.

Barkley is not famous for having a huge gas tank.

Wasn´t he playing as a winger today?

We should just wait on Rüdiger to be fully fit. In the 3 CB system, we had Cahill and Luiz, who had height, so in the end Azpi lack in heightdid not much matter. But having just Christensen is not enough,especially in the PL.

I think that is the plan. Lamps mentioned his name in the post match interview. I expect him to give James a fair shot. James at least can cross the ball ten times better than Azpi and he can dribble. Azpi looks lost in 1 vs 1 situations in the opposite half. We have two big strikers in Giroud and Abraham and we have no fullbacks that can cross. Emerson at least can strike the ball, dribble and shoot, but Azpi offers nothing in the offensive play.

Way to small for a CB.

The problem is that Chelsea Fans expect our striker to score every time. Even players like Drogba and Costa score eery time. Abraham´s chance was not easy to score, but he made a pretty decent shot. Apart from that, his hold up play was good, expecially in the first half. There is not much that Abraham could have done because he did not ge that many good balls. We need good crossers for players like Giroud and Abraham. Azpi is not able to deliver those crosses.. All in all, I think that our offensive game was sometimes very promising, but we need to improve from the back. Zouma is a huge liability and Rüdiger needs to get fit as soon as possible. James should get a fair chance against Azpi. I hope that CHO and RLC will be back because we could need a good crosser like CHO.

Abraham and Emerson should have scored today. Zouma should not have made that weird tackle and we clearly need Rüdiger back. I am not even a fan of Rüdiger, but at least he can pass the ball safely. Kante is back to his best position, which is good and he was not bad when he came on. What I think really is shocking is that we have two big strikers with Tammy and Giroud and we have no players that can cross. We really need CHO and James. RLC is also very needed. Nobody was good enough for Pogba today and I think Kante and RLC would have made Pogba´s game more difficult

With Mount and Barkley, we should have at least a little bit of creativity. Mount will probably shoot a lot from distance, while Barkley will try to play some through balls to Mount, Tammy and Pedro

I clearly don´t like Sterling at all, but Guardiola made him world class. Last year, Sterling was in my opnion better than Mane. Sterling´s work rate is insane, his speed, is dribbling is finally ery complete and he can score goals too. He still looks weird when he runs though

I would not want him here. Luiz was not loyal to us at all twice. Cech at least had reason to go. I remember seeing him on the bench all the time. Luiz did not even fight for his place

What fee is reported?

Let him leave. He is not that good. Only thing that we will miss is that he won´t play his great through balls for us any more.Apart from that, he will not be missed. He never was a loyal player in the first place. Left us for PSG, scored against and celebrated against us like he won the CL final and now this shiPlayers like Hazard should be respected rather than this player. I never wanted him in thefirst place when Conte bought him. But later on I accepted him again and this shit again

I actaully even think that losing Alli is not that bad for Spurs. Lucas can play his role and probably do better. Alli really was not that good last season, especially in the big games. He is not a good winger. Asa second striker, he is way better.

The most important player for our defense is actually Kante. If Kante is in his prime mode again, we will look way better. RLC is also good in the defensive phase (I know Sarri words haha) and that should make us way better. I still can´t decide who our two centre backs should be. Rüdiger and Zouma lack too much in technique and Rüdiger is not that good in his position game. Zouma is too bad at passing, but that pair would be physical beasts. Luiz and Rüdiger is also not that good and we could see that last season. Rüdiger grew on me later on the season, but Luiz has to many weaknesses. But in the offensive point of view,he is one of the best in the world... Christensen is a player that has a lot of qualitites, but really needs to get more strenght. Right now, I think Rüdiger and Luiz/Christensen would be the best starting CBs for the season.But don´t forget the fact that Azpi is not doing great either... Only Emerson should be a starter because he is speed will be very beneficial for us and he has good technique. He is better than Alonso, who showed tonight that he does not think when he defends...

I have screenshoted your post just in case hahaha

I can´t believe how stupid Alonso. is ....
