Slojo

Imagine if we got him the time PSG did, it was rumoured after he was leaving AC... What a player he is, at his age to be playing the way he is. Can't believe this bloke wasted all his ability in Ligue 1, he was good enough to be playing for the worlds best teams.

I wouldn't have sold him, not with the midfield depth we have. I don't think you're understanding what me and others were saying. I can't speak for everyone however, basically, if we got a big offer say from PSG, then yes. Because he wasn't fitting Lampards style of play, and the injuries were concerning. At the time, it didn't look as stupid as people are saying it is now. Currently though, he's been exceptional, breaks up play, protects the back 4 and keeps it simple. He gives us that stability in the midfield that allows us to play with the likes of Havertz, Ziyech, Pulisic and Mount above him. Also, you've got Mount who helps out and tracks back. I want what's best for the team, Jorginho just doesn't fit the bill. He's a good player but we need to play to our strengths, so I think Jorginho should be moving on eventually and we should be looking to get a player who can rotate with Kante in the summer or eventually replace him when he hangs it up.

If I missed that chance in the first 10 minutes that he did, I would've been sobbing my heart out. Fair play to him because despite missing those chances he's still playing well and giving it his all.

A world class tag doesn't mean anything if the player isn't playing well. Not understanding your next point however. At the end of the day, things are going well, the midfield area was a difficult position to peg. Lampard likes possession, Kante in his usual box to box role just didn't fit well there. Now, where he's playing, he's playing well. And given that possession was quite split today, Kante came into his own when going forward with the ball. Which is what we saw from him under Conte a few years ago.

Probably yes, I'm a fan of Jorginho, but we look much better in this system with Kante protecting. It looks like Lamps has figured out his best team, so far so good.

Nobody said he wasn't quality, but the club comes before the player. If a player doesn't fit the system, then you need to find replacements. Again, it wasn't an unreasonable take at all, injuries considered also add to that point that turning down a big offer in the summer wasn't a terrible idea at the time. There are people on here who thought singing Kovacic was a terrible idea despite having a transfer ban and barely any options in midfield, yet he turned out to be our player of the season.

Silva, Kante, James, three players in contention for MOTM. I'm going to go Silva though, completely rock solid but on top of that provided excellent attacking opportunities with his passing alone.

Because he wasn't playing well and was turning 30, wasn't completely unreasonable. But the position he's playing in now with the likes of Mount, Havertz/Kovacic in front of him, he's playing a lot better than he was when he had more attacking responsibility. Now he doesn't, and he's playing really well.

Best game of the season probably? Great game, even going forward he was really good. When he has space to run onto he plays well.

Still looks a bit rusty but has some brilliant moments, kept scuffing his shots too much when he cut in but great goal to grab at the end. Don't understimate Pulisic, he's still one of our best players and he will deliver.

Poor in the first half imo, wasn't much better than Havertz but was still getting involved. 2nd half much better.

Tammy doesn't get a pass at all, if Tammy did that in the opening 10 minutes what Werner did to Girouds header he would've been slaughtered. Like I said, he was good, but you can't keep missing chances like that, it's concerning.

He was awful in the 2nd half.

Doesn't take away the fact that he's missing sitters. Happy with his performacnes for sure, but you can't keep missing chances like that.

GET IN, quality football! you okay now @Valerie Edit: Also, don't diss the beard!

I swear he does it on purpose for a trademark, attention seeking twat.

If we don't win this, Werner has to take some big responsibility here, we signed him to prevent things like this from happening like it did last season constantly. He's just not clinical enough in front of goal.

He's missed about 3 good chances, one of them being almost impossible to miss than score.

He's not been bad, I'm just frustrated. But his finishing has been woeful here, he's missed more sitters than he's scored goals, has to be putting them away.

What is it with this club signing strikers who can't finish...

Oh f**k off Werner, for f**k sake...

Dirty bastards, had to foul Kova about 3 times there to bring him down.

Welcome to my block list.

Lmao Silva passes the ball better than our attackers.

I'm not his biggest fan but I'm so glad Zouma offers that threat in the box.
