Erikse

He has started just 2 games as a CF for Leicester. I would assume that there's a reason for that. I think that it's easier for him to drive forward with his pace from the wing. It actually says that he started a youth game as a DM, maybe that's where we should play him?

I said it in a different thread. I looked through Leicester fans opinion about him, and the main complaint was inconsistency. That he gets lost in games. It seems like that's what's happening, one game he looks like a fantastic signing, and in another he looks like a pretty bad one.

Jackson is my nemesis this round, along with spurs defenders. I was going to bring in Jackson for Højlund, only to realise that I brought in Cucurella as my third Chelsea player.

Though the same about Mateta at his double GW. He might score a goal or 2. Probably not more. Also thought the same about de Bruyne vs us. Will probably start on the bench (he even did) and get 1 attacking return at best. It never fails, huh? I had Gvardiol this time, though. 63 points with 4 players playing tomorrow. 11 doubles.

I don't see us finishing 8th. But it would be a little bit disappointing if we don't get top 6 when we were in a pretty good position to do so. Dropping points when we shouldn't was something that also happened towards the end of last season, like drawing to Leeds and Leicester (although we only needed 1 point vs Leicester, but nealy threw it away at the end).

I'm guessing @Kid Icarus might have looked at the live table, Chelsea have 1p from their current game.

It is because our goal difference is too strong.

That's exactly the main complaint that Leicester fans had about him. Highly inconsistent.

Do you think Man Utd will beat Arsenal? Anything can happen, but seems unlikely.

Huh? If Man United lose to Arsenal, all we need to do is to beat Brentford. We can even afford to lose to Man Utd in terms of getting 7th.

Forest safe before their game against Chelsea. Not great.

Just casually getting 21 points from Gvardiol, but still being annoyed about Walker owners getting a CS when he started on the bench. Don't mind me.

Olise seems like an amazing player, and we would be lucky to get him. At the same time the injuries are a little bit of a worry for me, because we demand a lot from our players. Probably worth the risk.

Seems like fatigue is kicking in. You also went on a bad streak after beating Arsenal and City in december. Another bad streak now after beating Arsenal. Do you think these games had a huge impact on the players in terms of fitness, and that's a part of it? Beating these teams takes some really really hard work. Especially that Man City game.

Why wasn't Moreno or Chambers on the bench?

Leverkusen beat Benficas record from the 1960s today. Most games without a loss in any tournament in the top European leagues since the second world war.

I wonder if VAR makes it harder. Probably about the same, because you are also given pens that you wouldn't without VAR, so it goes both ways.

I often notice how recency bias really affects these things. De Bruyne won it one season where he was basically anonymous until february or march.

When it comes to Tonali, even Howe said that it was surprising that we got him for that price at the time. It seemed suspicious to say the least, considering what happened next. Players of that calibre are very hard to find for £50m or less.

I said this when he played us in the group aswell. Was scared of him, but he didn't really look like a top 3 player worldwide.

Some bookmakers had them at 4th in the group, now they are in the final. Crazy.

They will probably feel hard done by now Ironically

Big news: Newcastle might sign Mbappe tomorrow. I should work in the media.

£80m. Yeah lets give them Isak on top of it. We're not doing it for the money, we just really want to get rid of the players.
