Do you think that's it - can't be that simple can it? If so have teams done that at international level or not because he always seems to look good for Argentina?

He was far more assured with the ball then. Under Potter's set up he was essentially in that Jorginho role, and given his passing range he looked far better. Potter's system offered a lot of protection as well. 

Teams are now figuring Enzo out and are doubling on him.

Car for me. It is far warmer.

Curiously all looked mustard under Potter

Relatively small window in which to assess them though. For example Mudryk's data is largely from an impressive cameo in the Liverpool game.

Was he really even that fantastic in the World Cup ?

The Whoscored ratings had him down for the 59th best ranking across all the international teams competing ...

Lucky for some! In a lucky twist of events, the tube strike has been called off and the underground will be running in Thursday 

There were some rumours that Real were definitely interested in him but obviously nothing substantial. 
 

What would his book value be? £105 divided by 7 (?) years?…2 years into his contract would be £75m? Can anyone confirm/speculate?

I was just about to post that. They knew you needed to use it. Are you going on Sunday too?

Yeah, will be there on Sunday too. I will need to drink a few pints before the match to calm the nerves. That’s why I welcome Thursday’s game, no high blood pressure

9.5 years after the extention option we activated before Uefas new rules came in.

 

We would need a deal worth 84mill in January, or 78.75mill in the summer, to break even for FFP.

 

10.5mill a year FFP hit.

Apparently Enzo has changed his agent over recent months, according to Johnny Minerals, and has instructed him to find him a move.

So the rumours going about Inter, Real and Barca may well be that agent trying to get something moving.

And thar we are not shutting down these rumours, like we just did with Badiashile, may suggest we are open to letting him go.

Wow, there’s no chance any club pays £80m for him. 

One of the Chelsea podcasts I listen to, the guy goes to the games with Alfie Gilchrists dad. He was saying that Enzo isn’t very liked in the dressing room and comes across as a flash git constantly talking about his World Cup medal.

No one is doubling up on Enzo, you're giving him far too much credit.

Quite so.

The easiest way to win back possession is simply to let Enzo have the ball and either "pass" it back to you or put it out of play 🙂 

Credit where its due, really good tonight and controlled the game.

Lets hope he can continue it against real opposition. 

The key being he was playing deeper, he was the out ball from the back 4.

Needs to play the @Gol15role then. 433 vs Arsenal?

Player playing his actual position plays well, more at 9.

Found his footballing ability level. Always plays well against smaller sides, goes missing in the big games but perhaps Maresca has found a way to shoehorn him into the team. Hope so.

It suspect he’s not liked because after Disasi scored from HIS corner he completely blanked him.  
This begs the question why he was given VC just a nonsensical decision.

Also Noah players just walked past him when they attacked he was a useful defending as wet paper bag.

When he signed he was doing that role better than Jorginho actually (for at least 4 months), the results weren't there and the team looked dead but as an individual he was perfect for that role.

Not sure why he became deluded and changed his number to 8 and started living in a fantasy that he's a Lampard...

You ask this of a player who felt it was a good idea to post THAT video after the Argie victory in the summer?

When i asked why he was taken off at halftime against Noah some suspected that it had something to do with a possible spot in the starting eleven against Arsenal, now we see that it's not going to happen, so the fact that he was subbed so soon is even more baffling (same thought about Guiu).

Edited November 10, 20241 yr by Upb78

His replacement cost us a goal, and then he came on and got an assist in a couple of mins. Good performance from Enzo when he was subbed on.

Looked more up for it when he came on today and probably should have come on earlier. Hopefully something to build on and Lavia was well off it today.
