Finally!!! I thought Courtois has gotten into his head.

Honestly its not like I am saying Sarri doesn't need time, all I want is for Sarri to have a little more backing from the board. He got his midfielder in Jorginho, he was denied his defender in Rugani(we're playing an inconsistent luiz because of this decision), denied his CM in Golovin(we're playing an incredibly slow fabregas because of this decision), but I'm okay with those. What I am not at ease with is the striker position. I think a lot of fans have been spoilt by hazards ability and have forgotten how crucial a striker who can score 20-25 league goals is to a team. What happens when we fully adopt Sarri's system, playing fluid football, creating chances and Morata ends up missing all the chances and we lose anyway? We'll be going down the Arsenal route with such conditions. Anyways imo any realistic chance of our top four hopes depends on if we have a player in our team that can score 20-25 league goals. Lets hope Morata delivers like many hope for. Lool lets hope they deliver. Giroud is a world cup winning striker without a goal or shot on target in the whole tournament, but he had goalscoring Griezmann and Mbappe to score the goals. We have willian, pedro and hazard. Lets hope they can help the team.

Its incredible really how we're not active in the market. I really thought we would have taken the initiative to get Higuain, a player who worked with Sarri, understands his system, and scored 36 league goals under him, even if it was a one year loan. But we moved sluggishly and now we can see that Morata is still the same old striker as majority of last season (falling on the ground from breeze, missing easy chances with his feet). The loss of Costa was enough to make us score just 56 goals and ultimately out of top four. We still havent done anything to address the lack of goals from the team, we think Hazard will suddenly score 30 goals to compensate...... Even in this preseason we haven't scored more than one goal. Bottom line is, we're in for a dogfight in the top four with Torres... Morata as our striker.

If we got Higuain, the fraud Torres... Morata would have been on the bench. If we got Golovin, with his high energy and pressing, the snail Fabregas would have been on the bench. If we get top four under sarri with attacking football, Sarri is a Legend.

And the players seem to have forgotten 1. All the pressing learned during preseason, 2. The one touch passing 3. Runs behind the defence

Just see the difference between Tammy Abraham and Morata....

That alone could see us nick top four. Morata is not reliable enough to lead our attack, I'll be even willing to give Hazard or pedro a go in strike over Morata (like sarri did with mertens).

I cannot wrap my head around how he's been fooling our managers to think he's a great player. We could have Marcelo in our team and Alonso will still start... Incredible

Wrong, I'm making assertions based on a full season and preseason of watching a weak "fall on the floor" striker that cant score with his feet, even if its a penalty.

The difference between aguero and Morata Fact: With that fraud Morata as our striker, we will struggle for top four

Morata has terrible ball control. Doesn't know how to control his body when on the ball We need energy in midfield (Fabregas out), speed on the flanks (Alonso out) and control in attack (Morata & Pedro out)

Basically the Spanish players look poor

Damn fabregas is so bad. So slow, so vulnerable. My only happiness is that kante is coming back soon to take that spot.

Community Shield Lineup against Chelsea: Bravo - Walker - Stones - Laporte - Mendy - Fernandinho - Foden - Mahrez - Bernardo - Sane - Aguero We are still learning a completely new style of play, so a respectable loss is understandable. We just need clear signs of progression and Sarri to quickly identify possible weaknesses like Alonso.

I think we are linked with Ramsey because we currently don't have a goalscoring central midfielder. I don't know if he's the best available option.

Emerson and RLC not even on the bench..

No one can resist that thicc bod

Well that explains why I couldn't find any pictures of him in cobham anywhere.

I thought he was supposed to return for training today. I couldn't find any pictures of him anywhere. Or is he coming back along with kante/Giroud on Monday?

I hope he improves on his speed of thought and decision making. He's a tad too slow in this aspects.

She's so proud

Why can't we just ask Madrid to give us Navas in return, since a suitable replacement is delaying the deal?

I think the profile of midfielder Sarri is talking about that we lack is a goalscoring midfielder. We don't have one
