Azpi says we could n't find the spaces.
Also during the transfer window CFC spent only 15 m. 110 we paid for Lukaku - 95 we got from Abraham, Zouma, Tomori ... = 15.
The previous summer we were banned and the one before we got Morata-Pato.
Overall I can't say I 'm satisfied.

 

We didnt hence why we lost. We didnt create one to start with and as I said before we allowed them to dictate the game ... a side like City if you give them too much respect they wouldnt let u come up. 

We spend the money on players who we needed to built a team, a winning side. Last season we won the Champions league and this year we are already touted as the team who can replace the champions (a little too much for me). 

But we still want more players because we can  ... we're never satisfied, mate never satisfied.

Yeah, i'm sure it's not something our 20+ physios are looking at when picking a line-pup, get a grip please.

"All of our midfielders are out of form.  Lukaku efect."

Wut?

It's pretty unrealistic to expect player to have good game against top team when he spent easier games sitting on the bench. Same goes for Chilwell.

Lukaku effect indeed. Look at our team in CL final against this team. And look at the team that started defending it against Zenit. Do you see changes?

We had three attacking players who were interchanging, passing between them, creating chances (not finishing them), pressing, recovering ball and so on. Now we have two attackers and finisher who is there waiting for that ball to put behind net but does very little  to recover it. 

In CL our full backs/wing backs were James and Chilwell, fast players in their 20s whose prime task was to defend, and attack later. Even if they weren't perfect we changed them with worse.

Now we have Alonso and Azpi as our fullbacks /wingbacks.  Slow players in their30s whose main task is to provide final ball to Lukaku and interchange with two attackers first (Alonso) . And defend later. We are more vulnerable in defense, even if we continue with five at the back.

Granted James was wingback against City until injured, but wasn't wingback against Zenit or Spurs. Havertz is on the left, Werner was on the right. Rare are the ones who remained in their positions.

This team is formed to bring the best of our golden finisher, who is paid 200 mill to shine against Burnley and Wolverhampton. CL final team is dismantled for that purpose and people question why is everybody out of form.

And yet, despite all the changes we play with ten man against top teams with our star walking around while we are out of possesion.

Will Tuchel have the balls to play Werner/Havertz/Mount against better sides?
