Don't want to worry folk, but today being the 22.2.22, apparently Lilles No. 22 is 22 today.

If he is anywhere near our penalty area with the ball at his feet in the 22nd minute - fear the worst!!

 

Tim Weah - The son of George Weah and he plays for the US Men's National Team.  

 

He can deliver a decent ball but he's not much of a finisher.  His dad had more goals in his first year at Monoco than Tim has had in his entire club career.

Happy to be playing a false 9 we were awesome with no striker earlier in the season

Pulisic is the better finisher?

We haven’t play with a striker up top since Giroud left.

If he becomes even 30% of the footballer his dad was he will be some player.

George Weah signed the day before, arrived at Heathrow in the morning and scored against Tottenham in the afternoon. Legend.

He needs to work on being off-side more often.

Let's enjoy it tonight. I'm afraid it will be back to usual on Sunday.

Actually forgot he played for us. Even though it was for one season he was the epitome of class. We have had arguably the 3 best African strikers play for us. Eto, Drogba And Weah

Liverpool are flying. Hoping for a good display and win against then is rather a..

 

So J.David scores today and we buy him in the summer?

Everything is possible if the lineup is the same as tonight.

You don't really think Lukaku is bench for that game too do you?

Hopefully no and yes. Him and Broja up top 👍 

No Lukaku and Alonso and Azpi back.

Kova and Kante in M/F.

Of course not. Watch Havertz score a brace tonight and Lukaku starting again vs Liverpool.

If we play well and score without him he will be on the bench against Liverpool. I honestly feel like we will need Werner against Liverpools high line

Just had a look back on his record with us. No doubt he was past his peak, (he was on his way to his 34th birthday), but 5 goals in 15 appearances and an FA Cup winners medal was a beautiful cameo. Like Drogba, an absolute beast in the air.

So apparently Rom is not starting because he's "tired"

Havertz isn't really much of a goalscorer in this position. He brings a better balance than Lukaku because of his movement and link up play.

We’re tired of watching him ‘play’. 

Tuchel was picking when to use his get out of Lukaku free card and today is the day

Agreed, he is more likely to get a brace of assists than goals as a false 9.
