DANILA 290 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Don't get me wrong, I like Tuchel's style much over Lampard's even now. It's just still not where we should be at with attacking, but I understand that Havertz, Pulisic, Ziyech aren't playing. If you look at the teams remaining in CL and how they attack as a team, we still have a long way to go. All we need until summer is top 4, and then give Tuchel a full pre season and maybe a couple of signings to get a team attack going. I think if FL were still managing we'd be battling for 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Man Utd have a tough run of matches coming. If we can hold the form Tuchel has us playing and the attack gets a little tighter, 2nd could happen. I think ManC is not going to drop too many points.

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 We need a top striker, 2 of the 3 we have are not up to the job, one is no better than an average Div2 player Abraham, the other is only good enough to come on as sub Giroud. Werner I like but wether he's a striker or not remains to be seen. Unless we get a decent number 9 then we're going to struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Abraham back in training today. If all goes well, he'll be in the squad tomorrow. Silva back in training but will still be out. Pulisic has calf issues. Nothing major. Just tight. Out as a precaution. Havertz is back and will be in the squad tomorrow.

Jase 43,479 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Tuchel once again reiterated that Mendy is the No.1 keeper and deserves to be the No.1. Said the position is not one to mess about and it's important to have a clarity over the main choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer1257 3,282 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I would rest some players like Kovacic for the CL match against Atletico, even though he is our only creative player in our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kante 1,643 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Owing to the AM game (followed by Utd) I am going to post three lines ups here to try and give my selection some reasoning: Soton Mendy Zouma AC Rudi CHO Kante Jorgi Chilwell Ziyech Mount Giroud AM Mendy Dave AC Rudi James Kova Jorgi Alonso Mount Harvetz Werner Utd Mendy Dave AC Zouma James Kova Kante Alonso CHO Werner/Mount Giroud *AC dropped if Silva is back for AM. Could possibly play as the LCB in the Utd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul 1,615 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 This is a sign of a top class coach. He knows that Jorginho is not press-resistant so he chose to go with Kante and Kovacic. I'm pleased with the line-up, the only thing I don't like is Tammy starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,953 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Ugh. I haven’t liked the look of a single XI that TT has put out so far. But we keep winning. Man, I feel terrible for Ziyech and Chilwell. Ziyech has shown sign after sign that he is extremely dangerous and with a consistent run of games could be such a key danger man for us the rest of the season. But can’t get a sniff now. Can’t understand it. And Chilly was one of our best players under Frank and now can’t get a game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he is a much better player than Mount, but look at it from the coach's point of view. If a player doesn't perform when given a chance, he doesn't warrant a start. I would've loved Ziyech to play today instead of Mount though, especially against Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
