Then who should play ? Kante is injured, drinkwater is not fit.

It's time to give Amambu a real chance. We'll probably lose anyway

Again bad but the whole team’s been performing terribly for weeks now imo. This is why I said we shouldn’t be selling Matic for DD - TB coming back from a long injury only to be thrown into the side like that was bound to have these sort of performances happening. Plus the fact that he’s still raw as a player and needs time. Also, coupled with the fact that he’s possibly pairing up with one of the worst CMs in the world when it comes to defending or controlling a midfield battle atm...

Feel like he’s going to be scapegoated unfairly. Kante needed back ASAP - much better when he plays.  

Shit is so unfair.

Just no. Seriously have people seen Ampadu play bar a couple games with us? Good prospect but suggesting he should be thrown into the team against United is ludicrous. No manager in the world would do this.

His best performance so far.

I know he should do much better on finishing and decision making, but tonight for me he was game changing.

His run, his movement from midfield was really excellent today. Make manu defence confuse, distract their focus from morata. His presence on the midfield area also the best i seen from him so far. Finally he didnt make weird or sometimes even look like amateur mistake and being usefull there, not to forget he bullied matic because his presence and more mobile as midfielder.

 

Hopefully its sign from him, finally he can start to prove he is really good addition to our squad

Why’s this thread so quiet? What a promising performance that was from Bakayoko. Not surprised that happens now he had a competent midfield partner in Kanté. 

Really needs to work on his finishing though. Could’ve had a couple goals today.

Yeah, he was much better than in previous few games. Made his presence felt this time, finishing is secondary for him but would be great if he could improve on that.

great performance today needs to work on his finishing tho 

[Blue Armour 4,343]

Yeah....so about trading Matic for Bakayoko,.

[Blue Armour 4,343]

Seriously though....B2B role in 3 man midfield is what suits him. Kante shielding the defence, Fabregas doing the chance creation, and Bakayoko for the mayhem.

Would hesitate to say that its the same as Lampard-Essien-Makelele, but this works for me.

Agree. Today showed his potential and what he can do for us. Just needs to work on his composure and final ball. Could had easily gotten a few goals/assists today.

Bakayoko's faults & qualities are a lot easier to accept if he can be assigned a role called 'the mayhem role'; i like that. 

[The Skipper 20,593]

It’s his 3rd man runs that caused havoc today. In fact, he dragged Jones out of position with his run into the box for Morata’s goal. 

[yuvala 2,167]

Finally a good performance ! Well done. 

Looked focused, detemined and agressive.

[robsblubot 3,595]

He did have a good game: aggression and focus were there.

still poor on the ball as usual.

[Kieran. 6,317]

What did I say? Some of you are too fucking quick to judge. Jesus Christ.

[Leif 6,006]

....nobody's really saying he had a great game; our stance is unchanged..I think. He's ultra limited, clumsy, lacking technique, etc etc etc. It was all displayed again today. We aren't talking about that, though. And 1 competent game does not paint a player.

 

[OneMoSalah 8,817]

Looked a lot better in a 3. Suits him more. Obviously the question is then do we continue with a back 3, 3 in CMF and Hazard off Morata or back to 343?

It was Smalling, not Jones. The latter just wandered out of position like a headless chicken.
