Jype 6,398 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Pulisic, Ziyech, Kovacic, Chillwell, Thiago Silva missing and pretty much zero pre-season for the rest of the team (many starters from today were even in quarantine for pre-international break training). Yeah, in these circumstances I'll happily take a two goal away win despite a crappy performance overall. RLC is starting to worry me. It's sad seeing him play like this when I know what he can do at his best. But the only way to get back to his best is by playing regular football so it's a dilemma for Frank. Think he'll be restricted to sub appearances and cup games once everyone else is back in the team, remains to be seen whether that's enough to recover his form. Havertz was not good today but wasn't expecting immediate fireworks after just a few training sessions with the team. Werner on the other hand looked sharp, he's been training since July with no holidays in between and it really shows.

We know he really fancies AC (and tbf he was excellent today) and Zouma has been great for a while now. Rüdiger gets a lot of hate but I want to see him get a shot as well. Zouma all day long, especially when his first language is French. Communication is very important at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with more and more new players coming it, along with Kova and Puli, this could be something. And we are already PLUS 2 points compared to last season (1-1 last time). We started with 4:0 loss last season. Muzchap and Supermonkey92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Don't know what to make of RLC's performance, think the guy lives in his own world where he thinks he is on Mbappe's level when actually he is not fit to lace Ashley Westwood's boots. He is so lazy and does not even look like he is trying to make things work in his favour, can't remember the last time he's had a decent cameo, always a passenger, hopefully he gets his shit sorted and stops riding that 'coming of an injury' BS, he simply does not do the basics right, this has nothing to do with the injury.

That goal was terrible other than that I feel like his heading in right direction. His distribution was on point and made decent saves when called upon in the 1st half. He even came out for set pieces which was decent to see, hoping this is a fresh start for him and he gets back his confidence. Either way we have good competition coming in. He misjudged. Needed one more step to the right then dive - he had time. Also he touched the ball but to what extent it was or was n't a failure that it went through is debatable, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,182 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Kepa's a 70M keeper and once again he was poor, he should save that, that is not an exaggeration that is simple, he should save that. petre.ispirescu and killer1257 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,366 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 17 minutes ago, whats happening said: mount my motm Haha good joke. After RLC he was worst player on the pitch. Horrible offensively, absolutely every time he had the ball. Should never play a winger again. That is like playing Caballero there. Also the main reason why Lamptey was so good today. And should have stop the shot for their goal or make it more difficult for opponent. Lampard rates him and RLC more but for me Gallagher and even Barkley should play ahead of them. Looks like 12 year old kid playing with pro guys. killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El P. 1,354 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Werner looked classy, Havertz not so much. Hoping to see him at #10 soon. But, good thing about him - he really pressed them and worked hard in defense, stole a lot of balls. Also, James will be player of the season, I hope.
