I said a few months back that we will never win a league title with a Jorginho type of player in the team. I just don't think it works in this league, not consistently anyway.

I really warmed to Jorginho. Sadly, for all his talent his serious lack of pace in the middle of the pitch is exposed too often in this league. 

He's more suited to the Italian league

Remember when we all used to complain about Tibo... Those were the days. 

Thibaut was excellent...one bad game and people went crazy

Kepa was saved by poor finishing. It could have been 8

I'm not sure whether you're talking about Jorginho or Kepa LOL ... probably both !

i was talking about Kepa tbh... but not a fan of Jorginho either..

Lampard has to start Caballero against Wolves. Kepa is unacceptable back there. We need to play in a 433, start Pulisic, hope Kante is healthy, and be ready to substitute early. The team has lost complete confidence in Kepa and it is impacting the entire defense.

Kante should not get back in the team. Jorginho, Kovacic and Mount has been our best midfield.

Well that summed up our season. 

Decent going forward, if not wasteful at times. 

Lightweight in midfield.

All over the place at the back.

Pulisic was great when he came on until liverpool doubled up on him.

CHO had a decent cameo, as did Abraham although slightly less so. 

Got it back to 4-3, great chsnce to grab sn equaliser late on, but jorginho doesnt even take the yellow card. 

Its all down to wolves, on the positive side, the sevond half display means we will take some confidence.

Agreed.  He is talented just not suited to this league

He's done and theres no coming back, it's our most expensive mistake in our history but needs must. I'm more worried about the 4 in front of him though. We can replace a keeper but 4 defenders in one window? I don't trust them anymore and our attacking players must be so pissed off with how inept they all are 

maybe with a solid, commanding keeper we could forge a decent defence out of them - we just can't go one needing 2 goals in every game just to compensate for our defence's ability to concede

It still blows my mind that this was the best we could come up with when Tibo said he wanted out. This was what our top of the range scouting team identified as the answer.

The club have to take blame, they should never have put themselves in that situation with Tibo. No matter how many people blame Tibo for it, why are we selling a GK a few days before deadline and putting ourselves in a panic situation like that? And this is what we get, 70 million on the worst keeper in the Premier League, quite easily the worst signing we've made, trumps Torres, Morata, Drinkwater and Bakayoko easily.

I'm ashamed of that defence. It's not up for debate anymore Frank needs to come out and give them a bashing. It's horrific 

I was worried that the attack would be the reason why we wouldn't finish in the top 4 this season, but if we don't make it, it's 100% down to the defence. It's one of the worst defences I have ever seen at this level.

That snake was the reason we bought Kepa in the first place!!

the person who recommended us to him... needs the sack.

No, we need that person to recommend Kepa to someone else

Absolutely fuming at Willian and Kepa specifically, although Jorginho should have prevented the killer 5th goal.

 

Fuming that with a draw we were in the CL and now it goes down to the wire against Wolves. 

I don't know if there's a premier league team I'd less like to play than Wolves. Jimenez and Traoré are going to d.e.s.t.r.o.y our pitiful excuse for a defence. 

So can ManU win Leicester? That would be enough.

I bet Leicester would've sold Schmeichel for 70m

the last time he took yellow.. missed 8 games... probably on his mind

They'd both qualify if they drew and we lost.

Didn't we give Kepa a ridiculously long contract? We are not getting rid anytime soon. 

Regardless cut our losses and leave him as 3rd choice if that's what is takes. 

Just praying someone takes him in a swap deal.

People might think Kepa had no chance with any of the goals, but if you don’t move your feet or move your feet before diving then he will have no chance with long shots, close shots, crosses etc..

I’m not saying all the goals was his fault but getting a new keeper has to be a priority if we want to improve. 

Edited July 22, 20205 yr by 2211

We cannot afford to have Kepa between the sticks on Sunday...he's a liability and clearly the defence has no confidence in him...stick with the back 5...but no to Jorinho...bring RLC in and please, please, please tell Willian don't let the door smack your arse on the way out...

Can We Clone Pulisic Just So Whenever He's Tired, We Can Bring Another Version Of Himself

30 Minute Cameo And He Was Our Best Player, The Guy Oozes A Lot Of Class

Kepa Can Be Truly Blamed For One Goal, He's Gotta Come For The Cross That's About 2 Yards Infront Of Him Though

Hopefully We Can Get At Least A Point At Wolves

We lack leadership. Especially at back but in general. A player that plays like a leader and is vocal and wins all the battles on the pitch. Azpi is a good leader but Rudiger for example is so unreliable Luiz seems like a rock.
