Special Juan

I wouldn't expect us to even entertain the idea, we can't see past our own arse. We need more attacking options as well as two wing backs.

Spend the cash elsewhere, and if this is the amount (50M) then go and break the bank and fetch Dembele here from Dortmund, kids absolute different gravy.

Can't get my head around them being there.

Right now as it stands with Bakayoko still injured and Hazard out, along with the squad as thin as it is, that game against Spurs could be an absolute mauling.

Less of that right now.

I feel so sorry for this bloke, I really do.

14, that's absolutely incredible, the season is days away.

From the start of pre season to this point now, everytime we have played we look miles behind the intensity of the team we have played. Closing to tracking, ball distribution and movement off the ball has been so laboured. Won't get away with it even against the likes of Burnley, time to raise it or suffer.

We are a week from the season starting and we have no clue as to who will be starting as out main man. Forget that we paid 70M for Morata, Batsuayhi has looked good, but that's it, we play with one man so there is a problem, not a good one because neither player has been brilliant.

We are all sat here like a kid watching out of a window on a rainy day.

Weird thing is, if the team start slow the managers gets dumped...Yet the board starts slow we are told to be patient.

The reaction came well before this game, today was more of dotted I and a crossed T and that was well before the penalty shoot out loss. Within that 90 minutes there was enough stand out points for people to notice the short coming in this team.

We are the family and the majority feel for him.

We can't sell him because we can't replace him. We are struggling to sign anyone, and whilst he maybe not good right now how can we sell without a replacement.

Conte is not the problem, backing him and transfers coming in are.

The club has no direction, if we had direction we would be talking about 1 player to complete the squad, we are talking about 4-5 with a week to go of the season. The deluded people will talk about a whole month of the window to go, the realist will tell you we could be a bad start away from being out of the race by 31st August.

If Bats starts this will be another complete confident dent to Morata, it's already smacking of the Torres situation....every kick, every header, every touch, every miss and every time his name is mentioned is under the microscope.

Just forgetting this result, but looking directly at the performance it was what I expected and knew was apparent before KO. Nobody, and nobody can tell me the board have fell short in targets, this team needed work before the window and IMO it's still very poor and weak in a few areas. The board have not done enough, this is 1 week before kick off and we look laborious and predictable in nigh on every area. As for Morata, I can smell low confidence, I can smell an air of despondency and I am very worried for him and the team. Strap yourself in, this is going to e one bumpy ride.

Bit like the team.

Squad awful, squad thin, football boring and new season one week away, not jumping the gun, this is being very realistic.

Broken I feel already.

Morata is off to an absolute stinker, new he would miss that penalty....Confidence is rock bottom already.

Get in.

Slow movement, no urgency and Alonso has been a complete car crash. Our wing backs need massively upgrading.

Calling people morons isn't helping your case either, enough of that thanks.
