I’ve asked my Madrid family and it sounds like Alonso likes to play 5 at the back with the FBs inverting to the midfield. She didn’t understand much his system, especially in midfield, she didn’t think that it suited their players in midfield. But there are things that sound good about his discipline. No late arrival to training or you’re out for the next game; players with yellow cards get subbed off, which will be great given our recent record on cards; and doesn’t like indiscipline in general. Vinicius was the one that initiated the player power play, but I don’t think that we have players with enough standing to confront Alonso as Real Madrid has. They think that he’ll do well at Chelsea.

Confirmed. Scott Parker changed his name on Friday by deed poll to Xavi Alonso.

I hate to say it but I think we're missing Nicolas Jackson

I'm reading Stamford Bridge is Falling Down by Tim Rolls at the moment. Our modern drama has nothing on the 70s!

Nicholas Jackson immediately returned to the club & has to play every minute of every game for the duration of his contract.

While I was obviously happy for the Spuds to lose in a completely Spursy way, afterwards a little bit of me (a VERY little bit) did wonder whether it would have been hilarious to see Arse fans' reaction to it as they were saying they were the only team to be better than PSG (WTF was that based on?)

Chelsea beat PSG
Tottenham lose to PSG on penalties
Arsenal lose to PSG (twice)
There is a definite hierarchy there that places Arsenal firmly at the bottom LOL

Still not sure how he's not received a lengthy ban for attacking J.Pedro at full time of the CWC final. Seems to have been swiftly brushed under the carpet.

Impeccable timing to be fair. Well played our Twitter editor ...

And Ederson, who has pretty bang average save stats, is feted as an elite keeper because of his passing out from the back and a couple of Hollywood assists. It's all arse about face LOL

Now the narrative will be that PSG were sh*t when we played them . Which they were , but only because we were magnificent. !
And I was looking forward to seeing Spurs getting battered. ( Everywhere they go )

Wow, I think PSG went from ok to best in world and back to ok in the fastest time possible. This is very disappointing, but not at all surprising that PSG were a flash in the pan and that Spurs have improved post Poste-whatwashisname.

I get that buddy, but there is a difference between discussing it to then long-term members calling each other names and other people whores! The Right vs Left thing drives me up the wall; the powers want people divided. If you're going to choose a side in the thread, let's all choose Enzo Maresca's!
It cost me a good half hour tidying it up in here, bastards! 👀

We can't pretend he didn't insert himself into the middle our team's trophy celebrations though . . That deserves comment and our opinions.
I agree with you that we shouldn't be turning the thread into a political discussion.even if Trump managed to turn the event political with his interview afterwards...

Thiago Silva is such a good man, also having an eye for PSG's loss and giving them encouragement.

I despise the Americanisation of football. It's bloody awful.

I had the feeling early the CWC was a knock off tournament but this feels like a final and even in the knockout stages the way the players were celebrating they are taking this new format seriously let’s go

Jesus H Christ. Michael Buffer doing his boxing intro for a soccerball match. WTF!

Why is that turd there...release the files!!!

I prefer the Chelsea Pensioners.
And once again, the anthem singer doesn't realise understated is better.
FFS, the US anthem has no business here and neither do those fighter jets.

I feel his pain.
Even has the gall to salute. Draft dodging c*unt.

Why are they playing the USA anthem?

It’s a Micky Mouse cup but ironically Prem 4th v La Liga 6th. Compare that to the superior Europa. Prem 15th v 17th!!
