He also said that Chelsea only offered him 4 months until the end of the year. He squeezed two addition years of paychecks from Man Utd. Our CL trophy is on US tour. You can check it out.

We all do that but it gave TT a chance to have a laugh at his own expense and demonstrate (again) how comfortable he is with the press. As for Ralf using 'year' and 'season' interchangeably, we all do that too. 🙂 I may have come across as too harsh there. As I was saying two different things. The old timers comment was he said February, but clearly it would have been in January. Old people do it all the time. Mix up dates. The rest of it was I think Chelsea did the right thing in offering him until just the end of the season. Then moving on to Tuchel. We may be forever grateful he didn’t except the 4 month deal.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 8 hours ago, Beigl said: He gave a hint that Saul could get a run as a LWB soon. I think this is a good move, or at the very least get more out of him. Midfield is tough due to tactical intelligence needed to play that position, and you can see he is thinking too much. Playing LWB is much more straight forward. I wonder who is next up in midfield, Ziyech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Not feeling good about this at all. 😔 Find it strange that TT isn’t starting Lukaku still. We need to get him fully match fit and in form ASAP. nachikethas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, regardless of what he says, TT has also recognised that we're a better team without Lukaku and he needs to up his game and work rate off the ball to get back in.

nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 West Ham lineup is strong aswell... They only got 2 points in last 3 games, they will push hard to win. Zouma better do some inner agent shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is punishment. TT likes to rotate. Additionally, Mount needs to play in this one as with no Kante, he is our best player at creating turn overs in their third. Tbh, it was between CHO and Ziyech in this one for the LWF role and Ziyech did start on the bench at Watford. I am sure we'll see him start the next game.

I gave the benefit of the doubt on Wednesday that he was being rested, with the form Callum is in resting for one match should be a stretch let alone two. It seems to be that he gets held to higher standards than the rest of the squad. Pulisic, Mount, Havertz and Ziyech won untouchable starting slots for months when they had similar bursts of form.
