His decision making in front of goal has cost us 4 points. If he makes right decision in first half we win this comfortably 3-0

Most of the seasons has ups and downs. We're clearly in a bad moment, but this type of wins, even playing badly, are importnat to help the team to make a big step to come back with good exibitions.
If we recover kova and kanté to next games, I believe that we have good chances to play good again. let's see...

Trevor has played better than Christensen, we miss Trevor's pace back there

At some point next week only Chilwell will be out so one injury cannot be excuse. 

RLC will be a fine weapon off the bench but still can’t be counted on consistently as a starter. Just the calming effect on the whole squad that either Kante or Kova provide is huge. I pray that one or the other is ready for Thursday. The manner in which Leeds carved through us time and again is unacceptable.
And I’m just seeing now we have Everton up next. Another side in horrible form. A side that may be 1 more poor result away from sacking their manager. Oh, boy…

RLC is fine in doses, not when he has to play every game. 

No but two weeks ago we looked like Champions, a lot can change. The key is to get to the point our players return still in touch by hook or by crook and go from there.
Regarding the opponents in our good run it's easy to say in hindsight but at the time many were pissing their pants at going to our "bogey ground", having a post international break early kick off at Leicester and facing Juve's double decker. The latter two especially could and probably would have tripped us up if we weren't on it.

Need Kova and Kante match ready soon.. RLC is good but theres a reason hes 4th choice...

And probably Digne...but not that as important ad Tchouameni...

Any idea when Kante is back? We need to spend all our January money on Tchoumani regardless, we can't survive rest of the season with the midfield we have. Have Alonso, Saul, CHO fight it out for LWB position.

Even when Kovacic and Kante come back, we still gotta find the game time for them and wait for them to get back into form, all this plus the other problems while trying to keep pace with Man City and Liverpool at the top. 

A win that papers over the cracks. Next...

Head banging hearing the Lukaku defenders. "He doesn't get the chances like Havertz does"
Do they actually hear themselves? Ask yourselves why Havertz gets chances and Lukaku doesn't. One moves and is always involved. The other is fixated on one spot. 

It's better to wait for the right signing, then to go for the wrong one. 
We fucked up. A 100 million fuck up. 

I'm impressed with how he has bounce back from injuries but I will still hold my reservation till the end of the season. 

Honestly I know this is bad to say but I hope Lukaku is out for a little while longer, we are just a better team without him. The team is more compact in general, he is a passenger most games which is not good enough. Both City & Liverpool player without an out & out striker and have been successful so this obsession with finding a striker is unwarranted. We just need to improve our finishing. Case in point CHO decided to pass backwards when he could have shot on goal with his left foot

Agree that Werner isn't a central striker but at the same time, he has at least shown that he can run the channels decently instead of being stationed in just one position. I don't know if it's by design or it just happened but after Lukaku came on, the front 3's position and movement became predictable compared to when Havertz was operating upfront in the first half. And not to mention, Werner did decently and scored the winner in this same fixture last season. But whatever I suppose.
This did not age too well, @Superblue_1986...

Glad to help old son.
Now we need our transfer decision makers to accept, internalise, and act upon the fact that footballers are wedded to their basic talent level. Once the decision makers have done that they should be well placed to deal with bizarre reports from Latin countries that XYZ player has been doing afterschool lessons with Antonio Conte and has magically improved the things that no footballer is actually able to improve. In short they will realise that people who claim a lad who had the touch of a lamppost now has silky ball control is either lying to themselves or is lying to everyone else.

I would sell Lukaku to Spurs given the chance, we play worse with him on the pitch. We create nothing with him, rather he plays Werner at least we actually create chances and miss them rather than playing a passenger 

I would drop him for Kepa for a couple of games, keep him on his toes. That penalty we conceded was really really poor.

Mendy has been in over his head since the Ballon Dor thing, dude has been making mistakes, they haven't just been punished yet until today

See if Conte is interested in Kane-Lukaku swap. While Kane hasn't looked at least his individual performance and presence doesn’t hurt the team overall play.

Let's get this straight. We have paid 97m to destroy the identity and destroy our season.

only I hope such a scenario? Next summer kane go out fron spurs and them with Conte come to us for Lukaku, I would sold him immediatly

The thing with false 9 is they don't have to be that great themselves to elevate the set up, Firmino at Liverpool is the prime example of that, he doesn't hog the limelight like Mane and Salah do but I bet the latter pair would be worse off if they were flanking a traditional number 9, even Haaland.
The fact we have shown how well we play without Rom means it's now up to him to adapt to us and not the other way round. On the ball I think a manager as clued up as Tuchel can find a solution but my main concern is off it, his pressing game is absolutely non existent, case in point being before his injury we were marginally better than Spurs in that regard and it's well documented how lifeless they were under Nuno.
If Rom makes the most of his next chance(s) and earns his spot on merit like Callum has then fine, but I don't want him walsing back in and playing every minute unconditionally like what Lampard did to a wildly out of sorts Kante.
