Blue Armour 4,463 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 A win should secure qualification with first place, right? Milan will not be able to pull ahead then based on the head to head record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan will not be able to pull ahead then based on the head to head record. That's correct As long as we win one of the remaining 2 games, we get first place. Hopefully we can win matchday 5 and then have a rotated squad for the last matchday. bluephoenix and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,384 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Amazes me, to this day, how some suggested we had too many defenders or too many midfielders during the transfer period. And how some wouldn't get playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koulibaly had a rough patch towards the end of Tuchel's reign (Soton, Leeds, West Ham games) but if you ask me, he has looked much better again lately. I thought he played really well both games against Milan and was good against Wolves too. Also had a calming effect in defense in the Aston Villa match when he came on at HT (1st half Villa xG 1.8 and second half 0.6 with KK on). Only really need a draw against Salzburg and that should be doable no matter who plays, although a win would guarantee 1st place and allow for some extra rest in the last group match.

Much like against Leeds, against Brentford he misjudged a lot of his tackles. Pace of the league he really needs to get up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 If we win this would we be allowed to use Hutchinson etc vs Zagreb or is it only registered players allowed? Would be really handy to be able to rest every single player that would be heavily needed in the league until the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last game would have been perfect for him. Yeah, from the newly signed youngsters only Chukwuemeka is registered in the squad. Any club-trained academy graduates can of course be added to the squad B list at any time but sadly the likes of Hutchinson, Casadei etc. aren't eligible for that. Should the last game end up being a dead rubber I'm sure we'll get an interesting squad for that either way. Broja, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Zakaria etc. to start from the first teamers who haven't been playing much and maybe throw in a couple of academy lads as well. But first let's see what happens at Salzburg. 🤐 Tomo and ZAPHOD2319 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason he tends to start games in really shaky fashion but gets better and better as the game goes on. He has been very solid lately and had just started getting used to the English game. We’ll miss him and once again be forced to use either Azpi or Cucu at CB which I hate. It really is ridiculous luck that we have THREE starting defenders all out at the same time with knee injuries. It’s annoying as fuck. Right in the most busy and important period.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 The Austrians took advantage of the Tuchel wall and snatched a point. They are leaders of the Austrian bundesliga however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I've got to say im finding it quite hilarious how two decent cameos have led to people forgetting how crap Pulisic has been for over 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
