We instantly become better than Liverpool in attack and on par with city in attack

By 'little' I meant to say young

We should be looking at Kondogbia if Westham dont want to play ball with Rice.

No one wants to sign him. Even Pirlo who was a genius in the role does not see any advantage in Jorginho and prefers little Tonali over him. All his overhype was unnecessary.

Why are we not all over this deal ffs. I'm not happy with the passing from our midfielders at all. Bayern and Thiago showed us how passing is done.

Honestly I hope we tie up the deal as soon as possible. As there are no much better prospects than Havertz available. Only someone like Sancho are on his level. Hopefully we get this wrapped up quickly.

Thanks for posting this, He's a very good goalscorer. I still have a high standard for players that should cost above 100million pounds. For example I rate De Bruyne at 100Million pounds, he is the best in the world in his position. Havertz hasn't gotten to that Level so he should be worth 80million not more.

Honestly I am more concerned with our midfielders than the defenders if I'm being honest. Look at yesterday, so many times the defenders were 1 on 1 with gnabry/Lewandowski/Muller. Several times.... No centre back can take that kind of pressure for 90minutes without a mistake. Our midfielders were no where to be found. No single protection, no tackles, no shield in front of the defenders. Once Bayern had the ball, one pass from thiago and Lewandowski is in front of christensen.. we know who wins that battle 90% of the time. Mancity made Varane look ordinary the other day. If the midfielders are not shielding the defence, then it's all for naught. No matter how good the defender is he'll be ordinary facing a tricky attacker every 5 minutes. I don't know if it was just a tactical problem, but there was just so much space in between the lines to find Muller and lewa easily. Under Conte you would see a very clear shape of 5 at the back and matic and Kante protecting the space in between the lines. But it just seems so disorganized against Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern.

This is the right price for Havertz in my humble opinion. 60mil upfront and 20mil based on performances and appearances. Havertz has not had a 40+ goal and assist contribution in any season so he should not be commanding a 100mil price tag in my opinion. He's 80mil because of his youth and sheer talent. 100mil is for a consistent proven player in consecutive seasons.

Barcelona won just because of the sheer quality in attack compared to Napoli

Hes a disaster

Not now but could have been worse having a midfielder that cant run with all these tactical flaws. We could be 3-0 down now like in the first leg with them having a zillion chances to score more

Its only a defensive coach that can sort that out. The number of times attackers get the ball infront of our defense, 1 on 1 with them is scary (Salah, Aubameyang, and now Muller/Lewandoski all getting 1 on 1s with our centerbacks at will). I said before that even if we sign Ramos in this our defensive system, he'll get sent of multiple times with his aggressive style of defending.

We are devoid of any quality while attacking. See the poor forward passes from barkley and kovacic. lol Barkley again

Look at how many times bayern has gone 1 on 1 with our centerbacks already. Thats a problem. Even if we have Ramos as a defender he will get sent off multiple times with his aggressive defending. And they score again from yet another 1 on 1 with our Centerback.

Our team plays with a lack of direction when defending. This cannot be fixed by just buying defenders. The whole defensive shape/system is a disaster. We need a defensive coach

Please sign Jorginho before you get sacked. Thanks Sent from my SM-A307FN using Tapatalk

Looking like..... He's looking so over hyped, like Chelsea fans don't know anything about football. The way we all praised him like he was the next best after Ronaldo and Messi, only to be strolling down the pitch during a champions league knockout tie

I agree that defending is not just on one defender, that it requires a team effort to close gaps. But this is exactly why it is important to get the right attack first. Buying a top defender with a broken system would make him look like an amateur in this team. With a proper system of attack, with better quality up top, the team is settled in knowing how they go forward and the type of players they have upfront. I quite remember Liverpool with Klopp buying salah, mane and having a lot of 4-3 matches against Norwich and Bournemoth, we laughed at them at the time. Then he got Fabinho, Vandijk and Alisson to replace Milner, Lovren and Karius. Our teams condition right now still doesn't look right in attack for me. We are a pulisic injury away from being a midtable attacking side. We need better decision making and quality (final pass and shooting) in the box to truly elevate our side and make it scary. Arsenal creating more chances than us does not sit well with me when we're aspiring to be title challengers. Once the system is right and we are more free-flowing, an improvement in the defense could shoot us straight to the title.

Weird to see a goalkeeper thats 2 footed

Havertz vs Rangers... I'll find a longer video later

There's absolutely no problem having both. But we should know where our priorities lie. Follow the successful patterns of Klopp and Guardiola by improving the attack first

Exactly, when building up a team, the attack is the most important first step. Klopp and Guardiola knew their defence was poor when they came in, but they first of all got their attack firing by making strong signings. Then they signed defenders to challenge for the title. Lampard needs to solidify his attacking pattern. I know that the way we played in the begining of the season is the way Lamps wants us to attack, but he realized we were not ruthless/clinical enough. So he reduced the intensity of our attacking football. If we have better players, making better decisions and with more technique/quality in the final third im sure Lamps will be more confident in maintaining a high tempo attacking intensity so that we blow out teams early in the match.
