A Barkley Drinkwater double pivot... football has peaked.

I think Hakim Ziyech will be onFIRE  this 2nd season

Yes, Ziyech will do Jorginho this season 😎

Nah, one player running in slow motion, getting a dozen yellow cards for late tackles and making sideways passes only is enough 😂

If any of last seasons signings can feel like a new one it’s Ziyech. He was almost forgotten about.

If he finds form it gives our attack a whole new dimension.

It's always "interesting" to see how people react to pre-season outcomes.

Why Bakayoko didn't play? 

[Jase 43,479]

The players will get tomorrow off and return on Monday for COVID testing as well as training.

They will then fly out to Ireland on Tuesday for a week-long training camp in Dublin before returning to England to face Bournemouth on July 27.

No, he has been training with U-16.

I heard that Abramovich had asked the Peterborough owner to stream the match to him. So he was the only one watching the game 😀

Did we go to Dortmund looking for Haaland and settle for their training gear instead? Why is all of it black and yellow? 😂

Not sure why Nike takes such liberties with our kits.

You look at the Italian clubs, Milan/Inter/Juve....you don't see such monstrosities from either Nike or Adidas.

Is it just because Italy is like the fashion capital or something? That they actually need a minimum standard?

Kova, Kante should join tomorrow. 3 German players the day after.

But The Athletic said today for the first two and tomorrow for the other three.
