A few changes, but not as much as some expected...surprised to see Tammy starting though.

Emaprince:
In other words key players like mount should be rested while second fiddle like havertz be called up? Hmm

Iamj and User09 must hear this

I no talk anything o

Sha I hope Havertz can be sharp enough for the upcoming games, considering he's just returning from injury. I'm just thinking TT would prefer to use Mount rather that Kai cos of the aforementioned reason, but let's wait and see.

NextD18:
Out of the four games, Soton seems to be the easiest and must be won at all cost.

Yeah. We have to take all three points no matter the XI we roll out today. After these four games, Leeds and Everton follow, before ATM again.

Hmmm...after Soton, we have Atletico, Liverpool and Man U. I expect TT to maybe rest a few key players today. Silva will definitely not play. I expect Havertz to start today.

Raphinha could've had up to three or four assists TBH

Sociedad ain't bad sha
They've knocked it around nicely at times.

This Richarlison always seems frustrated or angry. I rarely see him with a bright demeanour. Always looking serious or displeased about something.

popizaino:
When is messi going to carry every other barca manager same way he carried pep guardiola?

I understand what you're trying to do sha

But that's asking too much of one man. Not with this Barca team.

Neymar and Did Maria didn't play

That Barca defence is...wow

Surely no way back for Barca now

The defence did them in las las

This Ter Stergen ehh

Mbappe...what a goal
They just danced through the Barca defence there.

That pass from Messi tho that led to the PK

Closed play analysts can finally come out

Why can't u people just support Havertz and Mount? Must you hate one and like one

Both our male and female teams will be playing Atletico.

More confident about the women though.

Seems Gimenez will be back in time for the UCL clash.

BikeMan:
This might be too late.

You think so? I feel he can improve, if he really dedicated time and effort into developing his shooting technique, irrespective of his age.

Emaprince:
Including CHO. Dude is big threat to defenders...and he is capable of creating good chances for himself as he can easily dribble and send defenders out of his way, but his shooting technique and final third passes are poor.

If CHO can improve in the final third eh, he would be very very deadly

CHO's main problem is his lack of trust in his left foot. There were times when he dribbled brilliantly into the box, but passed up the opportunity of hitting a shot on his left, and the chances always petered out. If he can trust his left more, he will become even deadlier.

How una rate Chris?

He's deputized really well for Silva IMO

Back in the top four

Kovacic MOTM clear

arukwe123:
Mount fanboys did not see that his wasteful miss but if it is Werner or Kai we no go hear word for this thread.

Pass the ball ffs.

Shooting wasn't a bad option at all. But his finish was poor, and he should work on his consistency in terms of shooting.


I have a feeling if he had passed and it didn't make it, some may have felt he should've shot instead.

Lampard should never have taken this job.
See disrespect from his own people


It came too soon for him sha. Funny, he said something similar about AVB years back.

Make we focus on TT abeg.

User09:
Bants aside; Mount and Cho interaction at the right side is not it at all.

In this game, or in general?

Cos in general, I think they've been combining really well since TT took over. It's been below their own standard in this game sha.
Sentiments aside.
But I like the combo.

Kovacic definitely MOTM, the two wingbacks have been good as well. Shout-out to Azpi too.
Mount still needs to work on his finishing, really should've done better with his effort on the stroke of halftime. Otherwise, he's been solid.

I won't even say anything else about Werner. Thank God the duck is over

This thread didn't pass the vibe check.

Omo, I don prepare my mind for anything.

Kepa...Alonso...Jorginho...Rudiger...Chris
Last season vibes

I hope the selection if kepa doesn't backfire. If it does, there are people waiting to eat Tuchel on SM.

BikeMan:
Thomas Tuchel wants to please everybody. I hope this Kepa decision doesn't bite us tonight.

I hope so too oh

Kepa starts

Pep's city vs a coachless World XI?

Hmmm...ionno, let's not underestimate the importance of coaches.

Although that world XI go bad sha
