Nice but it’s shameful to leave kovacic out entirely unless he is injured

What would your midfield set up be at the moment?

RIP Europe , you had a good run. I just hope modern civilisation collapses before we are completely overrun by low IQ savages

We are playing Russian fishermen

Inter bottling their group hard

When kovacic is fit and rested he should be starting without question , shocking decision to leave him out

Good defensive display but don’t celebrate, should be the standard

Lamps exiled Jorginho and now kovacic , needs to sort this shit out , it’s unacceptable

We could have made a decent title charge if kepa hadn’t already ruined our season and we bought a decent all round midfielder

These millionaire classless footballers should honestly just practice polygamy

There’s something about extra time and penalty matches officially being listed as a draw but yeh they lost

I’d consider starting him over Zouma at this point

Normally i wouldn't be happy with such a tentative approach at home, but Sevilla are class and the defence needed a clean sheet badly, so fair play to Frank tonight

Lampard acting like mount is prime 2003 nedved on the wing , he's a bootleg gerrard let's be real

If they win their 2 games in hand , they could potentially be top of the league. They lost recently because they had an early red card , other than that wins and a draw with Barca

I doubt having werner spin past a defender and score a brilliant solo goal out of nothing was a specific tactic either. If you cant accept blame for individual errors in the team don't take credit for individual brilliance. But really you have to look at the whole gameplan and management as a whole and that has rarely been good enough

True , if bulka had stayed here , he would have gotten some time most likely, how hes playing for some segunda team because it's hard to find a club who needs a loan GK for 1st choice

Exactly , if he wanted to utilise long balls he could have subbed mount for giroud early in the 2nd , but then again vestergard is 6ft 6 so I'm not sure what giroud would have won

You have to imagine thiago will be consistently injured too , pool may struggle

Yeah , I’m sick of physically weak midfielders , I honestly preferred the Mikel matic pivot to our current crop, although I love kovacic as a players , James is a decent passer and his long range shots might be more of an asset from midfield

I’d change it a bit for this game caballero azpilicueta Zouma silva Chilwell James kovacic harvetz ziyech werner pulisic

They always seem to show up for European games though , domestically too vs the big teams

How did cheek play?

Very unlikely we will match the intensity and fluidity of Sevilla

Picking kepa again in any capacity should be a sackable offence, we have Caballero and youth team keepers
