Before sanchez messed up , he was getting dominated by our mediocre midfield I agree with this. I don’t think he was an essential signing But as long as we don’t get our midfield in order, we’ll always have the Rice comparisons and he’s looking like he can be part of a title challenging squad lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 caicedo would probably be good under klopp at pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,854 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Liverpool are making it work with Endo and Gravenberch. Drop Caicedo and Lavia into their system and they’d be pretty great too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,529 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Villa would be top of the table if they didn't failed yesterday. Spurs also there after winning just one point from possible 15, now 3 in the row. Without couple of important injuries I'm sure Spurs would be comfy on top now. Especially Maddison. 5 teams fighting for title mid season. Nice to see. We can get 6th place at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle of the road side I would argue Arsenal are more boring to watch in comparison to last year. But that means they are also a bit more ruthless.

OneMoSalah 9,123 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) We will be lucky to get 8th never mind 6th. Not done enough so far and won’t have done enough to get real traction in the league before the end of the season, lets be honest. Unless we spend around another £200-300m on 3 top top players at CB, CF and GK and go on a huge run, it will be next to impossible. I mean are we really going to finish above the likes of Man United, Newcastle, Brighton? Without taking the likes of the current top 5 teams into consideration just now who may fade out such as Villa or Spurs - again doubtful they’ll drop out too much? Absolutely not.

Absolutely not. 8th is the upper target I set for Chelsea after the first 5 games this season. Nothing changed so far. Just hope we don't lose any talent (whatever we have) next summer, besides the obvious departure of Silva.

Thor 2,832 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Y'all clamouring for Rice, but when we played all the big teams - our midfield bossed theirs. Man United - who just out numbered and flooded us due to our lack of numbers on the bench, and Newcastle are the only ones that gave us trouble.
