Jase 43,479 Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Even when Kovacic and Kante come back, we still gotta find the game time for them and wait for them to get back into form, all this plus the other problems while trying to keep pace with Man City and Liverpool at the top.

We need to spend all our January money on Tchoumani regardless, we can't survive rest of the season with the midfield we have. Have Alonso, Saul, CHO fight it out for LWB position.

Kovacic and Kante better come back quickly, because RLC isn´t starter material for us. RLC is fine in doses, not when he has to play every game.

Am gonna jinx this but while I don't think we'll fall into a scrap for the Top 4 like the last 4 seasons, you do wonder how many times are we going to get away with these kind of performances. Like, is it sustainable enough to keep up with City and Liverpool? Even when we were winning games earlier this season, there were games where we won because of a clinical finish or two and the same things are happening again recently with worse performances. Our best run of performances came between the end of October and somewhere middle of November but we played some real scrubs during that period. So, yeah.

No but two weeks ago we looked like Champions, a lot can change. The key is to get to the point our players return still in touch by hook or by crook and go from there. Regarding the opponents in our good run it's easy to say in hindsight but at the time many were pissing their pants at going to our "bogey ground", having a post international break early kick off at Leicester and facing Juve's double decker. The latter two especially could and probably would have tripped us up if we weren't on it. Vybz Kartel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to find a way to rest Thiago Silva and James whilst winning. Our defensive mistakes look more like fatigue issues imo. Defense used to be able to bail us out but lately they look a step slower due to overload of games. City are lucky teams have a mental edge when they play them but they should be going through the same thing too. Look at Wolves today, Jimenez red card is type of things that happen for city but never in our games. Teams don't fear Chelsea because we barely punish them when on form.

Well he was replaced but the football Gods chose to take away our best LB's ligaments. Had it been any of our attacker who suffered that injury we would have survived this period.

They have never been that great this season...thanks to shit german league and lack of quality opposition in CL group stages... Though meeting them would be another different ball game...

Pizy 18,914 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 RLC will be a fine weapon off the bench but still can’t be counted on consistently as a starter. Just the calming effect on the whole squad that either Kante or Kova provide is huge. I pray that one or the other is ready for Thursday. The manner in which Leeds carved through us time and again is unacceptable. And I’m just seeing now we have Everton up next. Another side in horrible form. A side that may be 1 more poor result away from sacking their manager. Oh, boy… Vybz Kartel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
