Nero 1,877 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 No Ziyech, no Havertz, no Chillwell, no Kante, no James, no Pulisic. Spent a lot of money in the summer, for what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0007 511 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I was sure CHO starts today despite the overreaction from a lot of fans the other day.He is obviously Tuchel's favourite and that's why the boss expects more of him. Beigl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul 1,615 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I personally like the line-up. I'm happy to see CHO start as a RWB instead of James, who does not offer the attacking quality. Giroud and Werner seemed to work good together against Newcastle. I can't complain about anything to be honest. 0007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a lot of money in the summer, for what? Kante has been ineffective, Ziyech has been beyond awful, Havertz just returned from injury, Chilwell has been average as a LWB, CHO→James and Pulisic has also just returned as well. So I understand Tuchels decisions. The only one I would like to change is Chilwell for Alonso. Alonso is a ticking time-bomb, and it's not like he is performing at a very high level.

If this formation is going to be a big thing for us going forward Tuchel really needs to start playing James in the hybrid role Azpi is currently in, it was his performances in that position at youth level that put in him in the position to break through in the first place.

Nero 1,877 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Look at the bench! So much quality (only in name). It's a shame all this big names underperformed in this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,984 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Think this has the potential to be brutal. Maybe not necessarily with the score line because Atleti aren’t prime Barca or Bayern, but in terms of the pattern of play. Can see them bullying us and with such a lightweight midfield we won’t be effective at getting any supply up to our forwards. Hoping we keep this respectable. Don’t get embarrassed like Bayern last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not exactly a big physical side themselves. actually only their defenders are somewhat physical, the rest is pretty much same built as kovacic or jorginho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermonkey 38 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Giroud tends to be either on the ball or useless in big games. Come on oli bring the best out of Timo 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate how Alonso has wormed his way back into the XI despite having done absolutely nothing for ages and we now have another manager who is seemingly in love with him. He wasn't even willing to sit on the bench and back the team when he caused us to be 3-0 down at West Brom but he now gets "rewarded" because of a change in manager. I'd rather take Chilwell at his average/worst than Alonso at his average/worst! killer1257, DDA and Azul 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
