I love having him in the role he's in but don't blame him if he wants to get more playing time in order to make one last run with France.
Have to imagine he's going to be on his way out. When is he realistically going to find minutes outside of the FA Cup and maybe UCL if we get the group wrapped up early?
I'm also not sure he's being reasonable by wanting to start consistently at 34. That said, love the guy, love what he did in crunch time last season. Bon voyage, you beautiful French bastard.
Giroud is a consummate professional. He is absolutely good enough to ball out somewhere else, and I don't blame him for having that hunger to get minutes. The biggest loss will be to our overall handsomeness rating, it's gonna be like when "ER" lost late 90's George Clooney.
with his size and skill, if he has/gains mental toughness through this process, we may have a great one on our hands. Still a few seasons away from the first team but the potential is there
Hate everything about this game. Early kickoff against a team that has been a thorn in our side after an international break? Gross. No Pulisic and apparently Timo is AWOL, rumors are he may have COVID.
Frank quote the other day was pretty telling: "I have to be honest. We have been training as four players these last two weeks. So the majority of our squad has been travelling. some are landing just now. "They will travel to fly to Newcastle and fly back and then fly to Rennes on Monday and then fly back again. Basically have most of our team returning and not even able to get in a training or recovery day before this match and then we turn around and travel again for Rennes.
Need to make it 2-0 before the half. We have tended to fade in games that we are this dominant this early and not getting a second has come back to bite us in a lot of those games.
What the fuck is timo doing? Overthinking after the last miss? That is really bad. Could really burn us today.
Set my alarm for 5 but setting and turning on aren’t the same on my watch. Fucking irritating. Got cava on ice and a breakfast casserole premade. Now Peacock ass sack needs to post the replay.
mendy Reece Silva Zouma Chilwell Kante Mount Havertz ziyech Werner Pulisic the only one that’s really debatable IMO is pulisic and Tammy. Pulisic on last seasons form he’s the pick for sure but he’s got to get back to that. Besides those 2, the other positions seem pretty set. We will need our depth over the next 2 months though.
