You may see it as the attacking performances will catch up with us. I see it as hopefully soon, they will click into gear.

Aren't we implying the same thing here?

And you said "hopefully", does that mean you're not 100% convinced it will happen soon? 👀

I think it will. But nothing is guaranteed. We have had tough games and chopping and changing with line ups. I reckon goals will come flying in.

Romelu Lukaku has left the Belgium squad due to "muscle fatigue", says head coach Roberto Martinez.

I know people will say Lukaku is our talisman now etc but maybe Tuchel shouldn't try to shoehorn him into every game or play him in every minute of a game. I mean, wasn't there also an injury concern with Lukaku last month? Plus, there's another international break next month and still a long way to go in the season.

Would be sods law if he misses a chunk of his bread and butter fixtures and returns for the United game.

£97.5 for a player who cant run and control a ball, maybe we will go cry again to the press

The depressing part is we are stuck with him for years. Unless Conte takes him to his new club again which is not probable...

He has made us worse and we are stuck with him 😥

Hindsight 20/20 but 170 million for both Chiesa and Hakimi would’ve been far better.

Yet neither are CFs which this team needed so its a pointless comparison. Both would of been excellent signings, Hakimi especially, but still still leave us short uptop because if there is one thing we have seen from Timo and Kai is they still aren’t fully dependable as strikers at a big club.

Thought he would of done it sooner, he didn't play well at all. Issues in attack with not releasing it quick enough is one thing, his play today was also not good at all. Obviously perhaps its not going to happen overnight but shoehorning him and Werner together in a front 2 doesn’t look exactly brilliant yet either.

Re subs RLC as well second half should have went, very concerning he still struggles after 60-65 minutes with the intensity of the PL. Did well first half too in phases bar not being progressive enough with distribution. Just like Kovacic but bit more physical.
