Should not be possible to still be the best defender in the toughest league in the world at nearly 40 years old. He’s insane. Need to offer him a new 2 year contract. He doesn’t rely on pace at all so that’s not even a concern as he gets a year or two older. It is very impressive. But I do think he has shown signs of aging (about time isnt it really?), and not always been up to his usually high standard. I would certainly not give him a 2 year deal.

Pizy 18,996 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Mase needs to be benched for a run of several games now. Please. We have 3 new attacking players and can afford to let him rest. He’s a total passenger out there and looks completely detached from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing watching the game there was a good stretch where I couldn’t remember the last time he had gotten on the ball. He needs to decide right now he needs to play further back if I was him I’d be studying Lampard tapes with any free time I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got to be either extreme fatigue after all the football he’s played over the past year or his contract situation is weighing on him. He’s an absolute shadow of the player we’ve seen for the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 At last a win. Against weak opposition but a win. I liked Gallagher most. And Thiago. But we are going to cry when Thiago leaves us. He 's 38 and remember how Ivanovitch lost his form all of a sudden ? Iva was one of our top players in 2014-15 and also for Serbia, then nothing - he had to stop playing and he was only 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 A scrappy win but 3 points and a clean sheet on top of that is all that matters at the moment. Hopefully it gives a moral boost to take on and win against Liverpool. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,917 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Still a lot of work to do. Win will keep the wolves at bay for now, but we have to play much better and quickly. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already two top left footed CB prospects in Badiashile and Colwill. No need for Gvardiol. And no chance tbh.

Nothing boosts morale as well as the owner, who doesn't care much for financial loss and is openly talking about selling key players apparently Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the long term plan for the club is four centre backs - Fofana, Badiashile, Chalobah and Colwill. All young, two natural left sided, two natural right sided. I think if Silva can continue at the rate it would be foolish to let him leave yet, especially when in likelihood we'll be disposing of a lot of experience in the squad in the summer. People can have their own views on the likes of Jorginho, Azpi, etc but these are still players that have won big games, big trophies through their careers and losing that level of experience in a dressing room at times can present a problem, especially as the club on paper is looking at getting a lot younger overall in squad profile. I'd be inclined to sign Silva up for another year, and loan Colwill out again for one more season of regular football just to polish him up further before he comes back here.

And he is apparently fighting for a new contract? And wants some crazy money? We always speak about Mount leaving from Chelsea perspective but since he is apparently very angry when not playing (Lamps words) he should start thinking about it for himself. With latest additions there is absolutely no place for him in forwards position. In MF also we gonna get expensive player, Conor was very good today. Some young players also already here like Santos, Casadei, CC, maybe Russian guy. And we may play 4231 so Mount cannot play in pivot and for AM spot Nkunku, Felix are way ahead.
