This summer, Tuchel's main focus should be the profligacy.

If na to teach them how to shoot, then so be it because I can't understand this rubbish.

Nateevs2:
How many matches has he played? How many players at his age in the PL this season have played that many games? Is there a consideration that he may be tired?

Another fair point.

Havertz10:
una always dey miss person, wasn't kovacic last week

Nigerians

You always find any opportunity to ridicule Nigerians as a whole.

So it's only a Nigerian that can think along that line?

Segedinho:
Mount is good no doubt

I think England press are killing him.

Fair point there. Some of the hype is explainable, but the hype is indeed plenty.

I think his performance levels have dipped in the last couple of weeks. Perhaps this will serve as a reminder that he still has a lot of developing to do.

We didn't deserve to make it on this display. But neither did Leicester.

Both decided to be useless, but Leicester's uselessness had more drastic consequences.

OJURONGBE1:
Mount is so stupid.
He even had the guts to smile at Tuchel.
All of them should bury their head in shame.

Even Werner had a look of relief/slight happiness when the game ended.

Shameful performance, but at least we got what we wanted - in another stadium.

User09:
We have to talk about how this club belts it when it matters.

Our players do have a mentality problem

The mentality problem has been there for years now. Since the departure of the likes of Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Cahill etc.

Azpi is an admirable figure but he doesn't inspire much in terms of mentality. This team is not very dogged, as it used to be. Silva is more of a leader, but he's just coming in. Rudiger is the closest to that.

Our record in finals from the last six or so years proves that.

Another confidence drainer ahead of next weekend.

Who be DM?

Wonderful

Two DMs now on yellow

Wahala

Mendy
Jesus

Why do we always fall for this 'low corner into the box' tactic?

Fvck

Wonder if TT will stick with the James/Azpi position swap. It was obviously because of the pace of Vardy in the last two games, but Villa don't possess that threat.

swarley75:
Up till today, I still can't understand why Tuchel used Kepa and Alonso in the FA Cup final

Kepa "because he deserves it", Alonso probably because of height

timbros:
I'm more concerned about injury.

This kind match is dangerous. Villa fit frustrate us till 2nd half midway and TT will be forced to throw everything on them to secure the points thereby exposing key men to injuries.

I sincerely hope it doesn't get to that.

I don't think Villa is playing for anything. Europe maybe?

Yeah they aren't playing for anything. Perhaps dem go like pour sand for our garri

But I trust JT to tell Smith and the players one or two, make dem for calm down.

No Kante in the squad.

Seems no changes from the last game.

Omo I really don't care who starts today, all I need is three points.

And I hope it won't have a nervy ending.

BikeMan:
How do you hate this boy?

I've said it before. Mount will become a scary player if he can improve his decision making in the final third.

His halfturn, dribbling and ability to drive with the ball are already pretty good. His ability from set pieces is another plus. And I like him because from what I've noticed, he's one of two players whom possess the balls to shoot from range - Ziyech being the other. All that's missing is an improvement in his shooting accuracy and final third passing/decision making. If he can work on that, in addition to the aforementioned qualities AND STILL maintain the defensive side of his game... oh boy.

Make I chill sha, so it won't be like I'm overhyping him. He's 22, and I'm looking forward to seeing him improve.

My captain still doin good tinz

Guehi update. We get players, forget.

Anyways I feel a lot of the perceived hype is reactionary, as in, in retaliation to some of the criticism which he has received. On this boars for instance, uncle IamJ is the chief critic/hater of Mount, and he's always trying to BRI g down Mount while trying to extol Havertz. Unfortunately. Havertz has failed to live up to expectations, so it makes little sense to many that you would bring down Mount whom has tried, while praising Havertz whom hasn't delivered as expected.

Also, Mount was probably one of the most criticised players due to how frequently he was played under Lampard (we know how the streets were at that time) but the fact that he remained a regular under Southgate and now Tuchel, has put the 'Teacher's pet' tag in the mud.

Most of the criticism he is receiving makes even less sense when you consider that he is 22 years old.

Mount is not a top class player yet, and truthfully, he does get lofty praises. He still has holes in his game, most especially picking the right passes in the final third, which is the main source of his criticism. But there's no denying that he DOES have the potential to turn his flaws into strengths, and that there's a future star in there.

This is my main argument with Mount. This guy is young, is improving, has got time ahead, and has for the right attitude, something which his coaches often reiterate. Some if the criticisms make it seem like he's in his prime, whereas he's years away from being at the top of his game. He has room for improvement, and he IS improving.

If he really offers nothing, he would have no business being one of the first names on the teamsheet for three different managers at the top level. There's only so much being a pressing iron can do for you.

Anybody who has watched Mount last season and this season and still sees no development/improvement, and feels that he has zero talent and potential, is not worth arguing with TBH. No disrespect to anybody, but such arguments are futile.

Mount matter no dey finish

Lewandowski breaks Muller's record with virtually the last kick of the season.

You cannot write a better script.

So Wolfsburg will be back in the Champions League next season. E don tay small.

Impressive revival.

Tuchel says Christensen is back in the squad.

Kai and Kante are both doubts, their status for Sunday's game will be dependent on late tests. But if they cant make it in time for Villa, they should be back for the UCL final.

Anyways the quadruple bid for our women might be off, but the treble is still very much on.

Live in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Everton. Currently leading 1-0, Guro baby with the goal, Kerr with the assist.

Hayes made some changes...Beth England and Reiten are both starting in the attack.

That's some serious depth.

Full time, the game ends 3-0. Kerr and Drew Spence also get on the scoresheet. Two assists for Kerr.

The last game of the season, and were through to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. The competition will resume next season.

Capaldi:
4-4-2 is definitely the way forward seeing how stacked with goal scorers we are.

We'll definitely have to play with two strikers. But what two midfielders would you put in the heart of the midfield, based on form?

Ndidi is there obviously. Then Aribo I guess.

Yo I love this club but....

Just 10 days boss...just 10 days.

Be strong.
