closed Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea

Mount is good when we're playing a team that gives us space. When a team sets up with a massive block of players around their penalty area he's simply not effective. He's suited for a counter attacking game.

Nothing against him, but we need a change here.

[Milan 17,854]

We desperately need the directness that Kovacic has.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Piss poor this vs an injury ravaged NC. Slow and abysmal. Play anything like this vs arsenal and we will get whooped.

No we won't.

[Vesper 28,831]

Franks is ful-stop blind if he cannot see Azpi at LB and Kante at advanced MF are an offence-crushing duo of black holes

and our serval shows more creativity eating live mice than Mount goes with a ball

 

[Henrique 9,133]

What Lampard must do: Mount off. Kova in.

What Lampard will do: Jorginho and Odoi off. Barkley and Kova in. Mount will "play" 90 minutes.

absolutely wank.  Not one good performer besides James on the odd occasion.

 

dire.  

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Fortunately they didnt take their chances either

[MoroccanBlue 5,303]

Kovacic needs to come on at half or not at all. Not the type of player that is an impact sub in-game. 

People will moan about Mount but its Kante that shouldn't be playing. Genuinely no need for him against this opposition.

Ypu never know with this lot, could go either way.

This is also the sort of match where an alternative to Tammy who is lightning quick and great at running channels and is decisive around the box is sorely needed. Tammy always looks at his least effective against sides like this who mark him with 2 CB's at almost all times.

He's not quick or good enough technically to get the ball in space and run at players. He's very much a target man only.

Sorry but Arsenal are in their worst run of form since the 70s.

It would take our worst performance for decades for them to "whoop" us.

I prefer Kova, Jorginho and Kante myself.  Said that all along.  If RLC comes back at his best, he starts over Mason and probably Kova

Kante is fucking hopeless in the final third. Even Stevie Wonder can see that 🤣🤣🤣

he needs to be sold in the summer before he turns 30

we need the £100m or so to help with FFP as we DO need to spend a shedload of cash (especially if Willian walks on a free, as we then need to buy TWO wingers, a CF, 2 LB's, a DMF)

and we will not miss him as a forward playing CMF at all

we are in the process of destroying his club career (and value)

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Just make Kante sit and protect, have other MF's beside him. He has no business playing so far up.

[Thesara 143]

Barkley instead of Kante and we should be fine.

If we play like this and they bring their game we will lose.........in any case lets deal with NC first. This is a good opportunity to make the gap bigger.

[NikkiCFC 7,953]

Reece great. CHO also doing good. Willian, Jorginho and Kante fine for me. Kante won the ball for Mount chance and when Tammy made Bambi on ice. Also running a lot. All others very bad.
