I’ve mostly thought there was player there, but some of the bloopers make you wonder. The player confidence levels are going up and the team and the performances with it. Baddy much better as well.

Cucurella should be playing DM in this system. He has great energy but we miss Chilwell's sheer speed at fullback.

Quickly ? He's been sh*t for 2 seasons now, a couple of good games there and there and of all of a sudden he's a good signing ? He cost 60 freaking millions. 

With Chilwell declining and Maatsen getting sold he's probably gonna be our starting LB next season so lets hope his form continues...

With that logic we might as well fire the whole squad. Nevertheless he was called sh*t a couple of months past signing with us too. Everyone is sh*t until they somehow aren’t. I honestly think none of the players in the team are sh*t, however that doesn’t mean we can have the patience to wait for sh*t reversal.

I still stand by what I said though. Too quickly. Consequences of the fan base turning too fast on new players is that the unsh*ttification might take longer, because of obvious reasons. 

Our other giant left-back has just got to the Champions League final.

What qualities do you think Cucurella brings to the team ?

Hair

Caicedo runs a bit like Yaya Toure, always seems like his legs are about to give out at any moment, yet never does

Alphonse Davies will be available this summer. ABC.

Anyone But Cucurella.

Cucurella v Brighton

I must admit he looks like a different player than the one that started the season totally lost. Suddenly he is Cucu the Super Poodle 🐩 long may this form continue.

 

 

I remain unconvinced about him as an inverted LB. All of Brighton's chances came down our left because he was out of position.

He seems really liked in the dressing room.

The cantine staff only have room in their hearts for Lukaku.

Hair salon too I’d imagine. 

Not a bad performance by Cucu.

Saved a goal and was decent defensively. 

He and Spain laid ok. 

He’s had two good performances for Spain so far. Last night my Spanish family were impressed with him and, @just will be happy to know, I’ve already sold him to them  

Carrying on for Spain where he left off for Chelsea after a mixed first half of the season. Playing with confidence helps.

We will be mad to sell him, & he won’t have a shortage of suitors. He has been their best so far in the competition, and keeping Grimaldo who had a stellar season with 10 goals & 13 assists out of the side.

Depends on who ownership have in mind to bring in. 

From Maresca's football you'd assume it would be Chilwell the one that gets sold.
