Hamilton 2,120 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Mount and Gallagher is to much of the same. Working hard but running around like two headless chickens. You can not play them both.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Wont lie people saying about 2 weeks before next game coming up. Its not gonna make a difference, we have literally got no cohesion or patterns of play that are noticeable and we don’t press. At all. Funnily enough I get theres a lot of new players but there isn’t any noticeable improvements from Tuchel at the season start to Potter. Dortmund gonna be a very tough game - wouldn’t be surprised if Boehly & co are looking elsewhere come the summer for a coach. Lot of reports we are keeping an eye on the Austrian guy at Eintracht Frankfurt… Edited February 4, 2023 by OneMoSalah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) What is it with the state of our pitch? What is it 4 weeks without a game at the Bridge? And it's in an awful state, I can't believe how bad it is. Reminds me of the sandpit we had against Charlton, them years ago. Jimi Floyd scored against us at the MH end and apologised, I was there, thanks Jimbo😍 Love Badiashile Edited February 4, 2023 by bigbluewillie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's just 2 more games, so does not really matter Think we can still do a serious push. 2021 team managed to win despite an ineffective attack - Need the defence sorted to stay in the big CL games to have a hope of winning. Badiashile should have been registered over Felix imo. I don't know if its an ego call - Felix is the higher profile player. But Badiashile made more sense for the squad because K2 is shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Papy, none of those, save for maybe Sarr was purchased to be a backup. They ended up there because they were SHIT. Case closed. Also, there was no need to list offensive busts, as I never challenged that part of the framing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that some of the world's superstars were cheapy transfers at first, but the cheapies don't count. I have a real case and it needs an explanation.

Antonio8 736 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 enzo looks like the real deal. we should build around him wonderful player, good under pressure, good in progressive passes, good in shot from distance. yesterday we played quite well, if we only had a real striker....

cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 We have scored only 22 goals so far and only some of the strugglers are doing worse. We have conceded 21 and only the top trio Arsenal-City-Newcastle are better defensively. So you can see where the big problem is. Tuchel had the same problem, probably did not anticipate and probably did n't have time to look into it as he left the team early in the season but Potter has proved himself useless time and again.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Mount and Gallagher can puff and pant all they want they won't sell me playing like that, absolute horse shit again. Mount clapping at the end doesn't win browny points from me, needs to start playing football instead of ambling around and offer fuck all. Ziyech and Havertz absolutely woeful again, it felt as if starting Ziyech was an apology from the club-He's a one trick pony and him and Havertz need to be gone to the quickest bidders. Overall a lame and timid performance again with only a select few positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact Haaland agreed with City sometime in Ocober 2021. About Lukaku there were three names in the market in the summer of 2021: Lew-Kane-Lukaku (and Haaland whom I already mentioned but it was rejected). Lew was 32, then Bayern decided to keep him and they gave him to Barcelona in 2022. So what do we do ? You may argue in favour of Kane but some others here maintain it was impossible. I have posted something about strikers a few posts back and it seems to be the most difficult of areas for the scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter is not a problem, we lack a striker Where does people get the idea that "Tuchel bought Lukaku" from? I can imagine TT made some ultimatum that we need an elite striker asap. Board failed at everyone else, so they got RL last minute and if one would squint their eyes a bit, it would even sound like a potentially good idea. Is Tuchel an idiot and he was demanding him for weeks, because all he needed was someone who would blow his tactical system up from the start and couldn't be more of a unfit player for it? Doubt it.
