With the first 45 minutes, at least the home fans are entertained and spirited. We need a goal to really turn the tide against them.
Wonder if we will make any changes in the 2nd half. So far, we are not known to make useful subs

Abang Rudiger is back

Our recent form has been crappy but didn't expect Napoli to get knocked out by Milan. The Milan that we easily surpassed.

So, only excitement we have left is who is our manager and when can he start working on our players to determine who he wants them to stay and who is not part of his plans.

Also to get a striker too

Lamps is clueless. What he did with Derby must be a fluke. Time for him to be sacking and bring in Poch for an earlier pre-preseason.

Citeh really b**** slapped Madrid. Madrid old guards really ran out of luck (and steam).

We are next, unless Pep want to toy with Arsenal a little longer by resting their key players but we will still get beaten.

Part of me wants Citeh to win the treble and shush their neighbours up but then again I would like to see the underdogs, Inter to win the UCL with that very in-expensive squad that they have.

I rather see both of them not get UCL and see Brighton entering UCL (for the first time?)

Knowing Lamps, I got a feeling he is going to disappoint us again.
Was expecting Lamps to play the youngsters against a C-team City to see who can shine for the next season but he ends up playing most of the players that are probably leaving. Maybe he is showcasing the "players for sale" as another demo for prospective buyers.

Sometimes it is how life is. so now if Mount wants to go, a good 60m and above, let's take it.
Some Chelsea fans will be like what happens if he becomes like Salah or De Bruyne? Well, what happens if it becomes CHO or many other players that we have sold.

Some players, be it senior or not already having thoughts to leave, then they should just leave. What is the point they stay another year only to leave a gap next year.

Let's do a proper rebuild with youngsters. Are we discounting some remarkable youngsters like Santos and Casadei rejoining our squad for Poch to assess. And Chukwuemeka.

Anything out of Top10 is a failure like this season. Top6 is my modest target and my overachieve target is Top4.

Every few months change manager/tactics/formation. I also bosan la.
If after the change and we win, nevermind. Will be motivated. After change we lost, everyone is confused. Morale dropped. Lagi2 lose to bottom feeder opponents. Changing room not enough space to sit etc etc.

Trim the squad. Trim the salary payroll. Manage FFP and then bring in players that we really need to fill up according to the Poch's needs.
Won't be expecting a fluid team anytime soon.

Soon we will have the youngest average age squad in EPL. Thiago Silva is the only senior I would definitely want to keep to share his experiences to the young CBs. I loved to see Kante but right now, it is just sentimental feelings doing the talking, heard he is injured again. Maybe time for Kante and Benzema to go Arab.

Now, to find the perfect partner for Enzo and someone to receive Enzo's passes. Nkunku as our number 9 and not as a second striker? I hope not.

Hoped for Mou to lift the Europa League Cup, sadly for him.
Now I hope Inter wins the Champions League so that they will at least "consider" buying back that charsiew Lukaka.

Well, he is playing well there and already close with the players there. Plus, Brighton is now outperforming Chelsea and have European football too. At Chelsea, not really a clear direction for him and his game time, unless Poch has a clear outline of what he wants to do with him and spoken with him. Then again, words are only words. Pity the number of years Gilmour was just warming our bench despite how many Chelsea people were highly rating him.

Good price, just offload. We didn't manage the academy players well previously, maybe the new owners will want to do something about that. Only Recce James really shone through and handsomely rewarded, although now he is plagued with injuries. Mount is somewhere in between, winner of best young player award for few years yet underpaid by a mile (compared to James) despite putting in a few good run of games.

Same goes for Chalobah, Inter wants him. Okay lah, get some pure profits to balance the books for FFP for this year/season. But next we need to re-establish the culture for the academy players. What is their route to becoming part of the main squad.

Don't say academy players, what are we planning to do with the young "talents" that we bought, like Santos, Casedei, Slonina, Chukwuemeka, etc how to bring them up into the main squad. Every other week reading good things about Santos.

Poch is not my first choice but since he has signed, he gets my full support for the new season. Can't wait to see what he has planned for this estranged team. Can Poch make Mudryk become the next Son?

It is good to see the management wants to maintain a discipline wage structure. The Roman period is over. Pity we lost out on a suitable target. Later overpaying on wage to sit on the bench like Drinkwater and Bakayoko, if you remembered these guys.

Hope we can get to close and settle our outgoings like Mount and Havertz and LETS GO ON OSIMHEM, lolz.

Goodbye Legend Kante. He has done everything for us and won everything that there is to be won.

Maybe got something to do with using his face for Saudi's bid for hosting World Cup and World Cup advertisement campaigns.
They are really doing everything to elevate Saudi's image for the purpose of securing to host the World Cup.

If all the outgoing rumours are valid, the only ones remaining from the UCL winning starting lineup squad are T.Silva, Chilwell and James.

Really major overhaul. Silva isn't going to be playing a lot. Chilwell and James, lets hope they get some stability and don't keep getting injured.

Well done West Ham.

Need to find a way to convince Mount to stay then only will have the slimmest chance to even talk about getting Rice to pick up a phone call from us.
I am okay if Mount leave or stay for one I am not totally convinced with him.


But tell me, how the heck Liverpool managed to sign a World Cup winning midfielder, especially a regular starter somemore, Mac Alister at such a price?

At that price, would be not bad to consider forming an Argentinean long-term pairing midfield of Enzo and Mac Alister.

Haiz, it is like people know you're T20 and giving you a T20 price whilst others getting normal/value buy pricing.

Is it?

"Casadei has been the star man at the tournament so far, scoring six goals in five games en route to the semi of FIFA Under-20 World Cup."

We can do with all the goals we can get. Maybe still too young though.

First time hearing Saudi pulling out instead of facial them with money.
This guy is really a sweating deadwood.

Havertz also want to ciao, Arsenal really ready to splash the cash this season on their top targets.

Unless Ampadu rejoins the main squad and got us relegated.
