This system also relies on great wingbacks, our replacements are not up to the standards required. Hence, why I think we're struggling so much recently.

That’s why you need a plan B

Yeah but also it's kind of impossible to mitigate the impact of losing some of your best and most important players midseason. You can have all the formations in the world, won't stop you becoming a worse team

Once we lost our width I figured we are consigned to the cups, we aren't going to have a good League season after that

Problem for me isn't lack of width or a plan B, my question is who is gonna score the goals? Because except the City game we are camped out in the opposition's half, the other day we had 81% possession and drew! This isn't lack of width or wing backs, this is not knowing what to do in the final 3rd, Chilly and RJ of course are big loses, but not to the extent of what our possession says and creating goal scoring opportunities has been. We have a deeper problem as well as a need for a plan B.

Plan B’s can suck an egg especially government ones

All jokes aside we should just be aiming to do what City do, play our game and 90% of the time that should suffice to win, we shouldn’t have to change tactics or the team every single game

Tuchel tinkers well too much with the attack

This here - when we played our game Vs pool/city in the past we were much better than them. Our team on the weekend was to try to counter city

This is true. Even though injuries and covid haven't helped. I’d personally like to see Mount and Havertz behind Lukaku for a run of games.

Liam Goodenough, aka DT, from AFTV has been handed a 3-year prison sentence after being found guilty for stalking, assaulting and kidnapping his former partner.

Fooook

Oh that’s why he hasn't been on AFTV as much this season.

Think he came back for the City game. That'll be last appearance for 3 years then

The feck they doing putting a woman beater on?? That’s shambolic from them

Tbf City played Mendy with his cases ongoing

Wasn’t DT the one everyone jokes that he beat up his missus because he seemed so angry ..thats some irony that

Hasn’t he had to though? Most weeks we’re selecting who was available. Pulisic has played 5 different positions this season. Lwb, rwb, lw, rw and cf

Breaking: Emerson Palmieri wants to return to Chelsea

And it starts again

Wish we’d buy Raphina

Best winger in the PL for me apart from Son

And only 25 about to hit prime time, PL Proven etc etc

Yeah he's great, what I thought Ziyech would be doing for us but hasn't hit the heights

Mendy wins goalkeeper of the year

Nice

Which is why we needed four wing backs at a high level.

New Official Israel study is interesting. 4th Covid dose provides good increased antibodies but still not a sufficient amount to prevent an omicron variant infection.

So assume vaccinations for the elderly and vulnerable going forward then

(As expected it was always gonna be)

I think so - boosters offered annually to over 50s and vulnerable for the next decade or so, but please no vaccine passport BS or mandated jabs
