Fair enough we haven't made any big signings but its pretty obvious we need another striker just to help to make top 4. Who cares what age they are, we just need abit of quality.

How does anyone know if Barca have wanted him? It's only ever been reports in the news and if Barca wanted him that bad he would have been playing there by now, 20m or a free so I wouldnt be surprised if the deal happened as his cheap.

Gets linked to Barca every transfer window and it never happens.

Doubt it, his slow and not very good.

I would rather land some players on the short term to help secure top 4. I never expected us to be fighting for top 4 but now we are the club will regret it if they dont secure signings and we miss out. I just can't see Abraham being enough fighting for 3 comps, we might get away with the lack of creativity if RLC and Pulisic are back soon.

For people to believe what happened against Hull is what's happening in the league games is wrong. We have all the possession but barely create any chances in the league and that's the problem from the start. Against Hull we had all the possession, scored and created more chances in the first half, haven't seen that much in the league for a while.

It would be the same problem as always, that team will hardly create anything.

I would change that to not making chances

This game is completely different to premier league games. It's a one of cup game that's very open. League teams just sit back and defend and we create f**k all, we wouldn't create these chances in the league because the space wouldn't be there.

Its Hull, they are leaving space everywhere

Makes me laugh when the same posts come up every now and then regarding Conte and who he wanted, it's like they are sitting in on the transfer meetings 😂 if every manager got the players they wanted then they would spend 500m plus every window ffs.

Surely set pieces is something which can be done on the training field, awful at defending them and awful at taking them, 17 corners against Arsenal, a few seasons back that would be a guaranteed couple of goals by itself.

If Hazard was still at Chelsea this season we would be fighting for 2nd place, I know that's what no one inspires too but that's the difference a world class attacking player gives you. Hazard leaving in the same window as not being able to sign any players has had a big effect on this squad. Willian or Pedro are not half as good, CHO is just starting out and the main players I could see filling that void are Pulisic and RLC and they have been injured the majority of this season. The amount of games we have dropped points in I could easily see turned around by Hazard playing and that's including last night. The football was just as bad this time last year.

Xhaka at CB aswell

We dont need 3 defensive midfielders against 10men.

We are not hard to scout or set up against, let's us have all the possession and we generally dont create alot. We wasn't playing well last year but we had Hazard.

Does anyone really expect Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic to be creative or offer much in an attacking sense, Mount is better going forward than them 3 put together but his out of form. We just don't have the players to break down stubborn defences. CHO hasn't got going, Barkley has been injured and likes partying, Willian has been our best player going forward and that says it all in my eyes. We don't have a back up striker or a Hazard to bail us out nearly every game, reminds me of last season really but Hazard was the difference. Still got to be well happy with this season so far under the circumstances but we have to sign reinforcements this January, Cavani would be a good starting point.

I'm guessing Willian has got his new contract 😉

🤣

Maybe J Cole and he was better than Willian. I just dont think the words legend or world class should be thrown about to easy. Theres a reason they sit in there own group, they consistently was top class for season after season. Not bit parts of seasons. Even Duff for that one season under Mourinho played at a level Willian has never reached IMO.

Who the hell regards Duff and Cole legends? Both better players than Willian and all 3 are not legends.

Got to hit the target Son

Personally I think Alli is slow, I would play him as the forward for his close control and strength and have Sessegnon and Son on the wings for speed, I wouldn't play Eriksen deep either as he wont do anything back there and he don't want to defend. Just my 2 cents of 0 manager experience but plenty of FM experience ?. I really dont know what you do against this Liverpool team, so easy for people and pundits from the outside.

Not really sure what you are meant to do against Liverpool, they are that good this season if you go at them then your lose by 3 or 4 or park the bus and give yourself some chance. Spurs just dont have the attacking players to play on the counter.

Watched him today and he was awful, doesnt run or dribble at players which i thought was his speciality.
