cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I went to clubelo.com. They rate us 1931 and Lille 1747. Lille is the same as Brighton against whom we struggled while Palace is at 1712. I expect Lukaku to do the kick off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,327 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 11th place in Ligue1. We beat them twice 2 seasons ago and same with Rennes last season. Easy job. More focused on final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,928 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 With all the intense criticism and everyone shitting on him I bet Lukaku will be extra motivated for this one. Because God knows he’s going to start. 🙄 Would be nice to see Werner in the starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect us to be good but due to opposition quality I still expect win just like we won CWC and against Palace while still being shit. It tells more about opponents than us. I know we beat Spurs 3 times but they looked horrid and we were nothing special. Our last very good game was probably Juventus 3 months go.

Strike 7,492 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Six weeks of trying to shoehorn Lukaku into the setup has really messed up preparations for the CL knockouts. Just don't have the confidence from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to grind out wins with this awful, awful football. Well, I think it depends on how quickly we can drop Lukaku. Listening to TT and reading between the lines it sounds like he isn't exactly doing cartwheels about his performances. If we can drop him, get the front line moving like it was without him and get James back, we'll be ok imo. Only problem is how long that is going to take. The Torres situation tells us it probably won't be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura90 556 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Lukaku will be dropped when he takes us out of Cl places, maybe even this year. When we start losing money we thought we will save with his signing. And we will lose a lot . Marina masterclass. I am not big fan of Tuchel and his brand of football but what I know about him is that he is control freak obsessed with keeping possession, avoiding mistakes and losing the ball at any cost. He is not happy with getting and playing player most likely to lose possession and prone to mistakes with his below amateur touch and movement. He will stop playing him when we start losing money. It is that simple. Fulham Broadway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
