Could we please have one youth whose showing promise and coming into form not have a major injury? I mean fuck
Fucking laughable yet predictable. Feel like 8 points probably gets it done from the last 4 as one (or both) of Leicester/United is dropping points on the last day. That said, would be great just to win the next 3 and enjoy a relatively stress free final day.
Not getting champions league would be such a huge blow to the positive club momentum with the youth and signings
That would have been incredibly helpful but Leicester's shitty form (5 pts since the restart) and relatively difficult schedule are giving me hope.
Leicester have been awful since the restart. Wouldn't be surprised if Man U passes us ultimately but we really don't deserve UCL if we can't stave off the Foxes. We just can't afford another West Ham performance.
Wish he could be playing today. I’m definitely nervous for this game. If we had kante at the base of the midfield I would feel a bit better. I wonder what if RLC starts over Barkley to try and get some more height for set pieces. I think I saw that 5 of Sheffield United’s last 10 goals have come from corners and we all know our set pieces defending issues. have to find a way to get the 3 points. I feel confident that we beat Norwich. Win these next 2 and get a point against Liverpool and I’ll feel confident that we will get 4th.
Word is we are targeting him to replace Pedro as that 4th winger. He’s been in great form in recent weeks but this is an incredible goal. This guy would be a good signing. Worst case he’s a backup and sold for profit in a few years. Great talent.
Rumors that we are going after this guy. Eddie newton being at that team obviously gives us some insight. No idea on how legit the rumors are. No top chelsea people reporting it so I wouldn’t imagine it’s done.
That’s also who John Obi plays for. I’m sure he can whisper in his ear. They’re a top 4 team in Turkey’s highest league.
Abraham makes me nervous but hopefully can be helpful on set pieces with his height. Got to score at least 2 today.
Well TIL Tammy is actually shorter than Giroud. Suppose he’s so skinny it makes him look taller, would have guessed Tammy was 6’5 and Giroud was 6’1
And now we get an injury because of the shit pitch. Hopefully he’s ok. He was looking lively at first but that looked like a bad roll of the ankle.
and Christensen. Neither react. Definitely more on Zouma though. That’s such a consistent theme with all of our centerbacks. I’ve also noticed that we are doing much less direct playing and much more sideways “sarriball” passing with Jorginho.
The only good thing is they like to sit on leads. Hopefully we can wear them down and score a few in the second half. They’re defense is stout though.
Not even against the run of play they’ve been better. We just keep passing sideways. Defenders shut off. Kepa does nothing. rinse and repeat
We now know why jorginho hasn’t been playing also. we need to change our tactics and subs ASAP. Horrible performance.
We have 73% possession and in the first 30 min, Tammy had 3 touches. Sideways passes from Jorginho until we give away major counter attacks.
Sheffield are really content to let us pass around the 25 yard area and let us screw it up for ourselves.
Going to need to play one of our best second halves to even get a point out of this. Need multiple subs at the half kovacic for Jorginho at a minimum I would also do giroud for Tammy and either RLC or CHO for Barkley. If it’s CHO, Move pulisic centrally in a 4-2-3-1. Have to try something different. Not just about some subs.
