Beyond the defensive improvements, the biggest difference I've seen as this team has taken on Tuchel's vision is the composure on the ball and fluidity in passing. All the one-touch, possession based soccer is miles ahead of where we were with Lampard.
Lol pretty sure if we could get out of paying his wages for the rest of the season we would send him back he’s going to be surprised this summer when no one wants him
Looks like a new player. Think he has to play as a 9 from now on, seems to remove a lot of the decision making he was struggling with deeper or as a winger.
Christensen is playing at a world class level the last 5 or so games. Not saying he is a world class player but he is playing at an insanely high level right now. May need to give Silva a shot next to him or see what a Christensen/Silva partnership in a 4 looks like. I just don’t see how you can drop Christensen unless you’re just trying to give him a rest. He’s been unbelievable recently. also his goal or not, good to see Kai score/make the OG happen. CHO lively in that half but I need him to take on guys a bit more. Especially holgate on a yellow. Great half for both of them though and Kai/timo chemistry is evident
CHO at RWB and Werner/mount/Kai front 3 against teams parking the bus in the lower end of the table is the move. Pulisic or ziyech can play as well. The team plays better with Kai or mount as the false 9. Timo as the 9 if a team is dumb enough to play the high line Liverpool did against us.
werner's offsides against liverpool was called for the same part of the body ... edit: i am not original apparently
I just hate how they're sitting there discussing it hitting his hand when it wasn't even close, debate was his shoulder or arm
Feels like we're up more than one. Really need to put another one away because it feels like Everton is finally waking up.
Kai! What a pass from kova! Glad we have responded well the last 2 games to iffy VAR decisions that have gone against us.
CHO was fantastic, I guess Tuchel just doesn't want him playing a full 90 ughhh that's not good for Zouma
Fantastic game from Callum. Doesn’t seem like tuchel thinks he can play 90 minutes but I’m fine with a really good 65-75 minutes. Fuck zouma not like that!! I hope he’s ok.
I don’t think he has the stamina for it. He’s been subbed in every game. Some guys tail off after 65-75 and tuchel seems convinced that callum needs that shortened maximum performance.
I get so mad at the rest of the team for not hitting him on those runs, but he really has bungled so many of them at this point.
