100% on Tuchel for adamantly putting his foot down and blocking Azpi’s move to Barca. We absolutely would’ve brought someone in but Tuchel strongly told us all that he felt Azpi was still good enough.

I thought the reason behind Azpi's failed move had more to do with Barcelona's financial problems. Was that nonsense then?

Nah, apparently is was all verbally agreed but I remember Tuchel getting publicly annoyed at Barca in a presser he had and forcefully said that Azpi must stay at all costs basically. Said he was far too important to the squad to lose after we already lost Rüdiger and AC.

You learn something new every day. Let's hope RLC can fill the void for the next month & we make sure to rectify that come January.

You know he's already played Cucurella at LCB right? Lol 

At Chelsea? Which game? Maybe I missed.

 

At Brighton, I know, but still be interested to see.

Biggest concern I have is Ings and Watkins running that left channel against a right side of RLC and Trev who are both prone to silly lack of concentration errors.

thats what i wondered. He is on the bench so is fit. Cucurella over K2 is a head scratcher.

Sterling - RLC - Kova - Chilly

Havertz - Auba - Mason
