Why did we burn a sub on Silva? Assuming he wanted to get Kante off because of the knock. 

Has to be.  Plus we're forced to play everyone behind the ball and pray for one point now and Thiago can help in the air on corners and crosses.

We subbed Kova for Kante. I'm asking why we subbed Kai for Silva. 

Whatever. It's going to be a shitty look either way.

Yeah, and that's why.  Kante's off for injury and Silva's on for defense.  I guess I answered in the opposite order you asked them.

So we could push Azpi to wb and still play 5 at the back. We're going to defend and counter in the Hope's of salvaging a point or stealing a win while pool is pushing. I'd like to see us throw Timo on for Mount so that he can use his speed to attack pool as they press high.

Nah I think we're in a 4-3-2 now. (Or maybe a 4-4-1)

Either way I get it after thinking about it more. Everything is a trade off with 10 men. Can't criticize any decision too much.

I'm watching the game. We're in a 3-4-2 with two wing backs, which means we're playing 5 at the back on defense.

Okay. Agree to disagree. We subbed off an AM for a CB. Dave is not a wingback.

I think Alonso is kind of floating in between which is maybe making this confsuing (for me) - seems like on some plays we have 4 across and on some we have 5 across. 

I'm seeing the 5-3-1 better now.

Dave regularly plays wb. And watch his positioning. He's playing as a wb.

You're right. I'm seeing it better now. I think there were a couple of possessions early in the half that tricked me.

My goodness, if we hold onto a point from this shitshow, that's gonna be so encouraging.

HOLD!

Fuck that get Lukaku free and let's take all 3.

You were right that it's probably Alonso. He's pushing up really high when we have possession so he doesn't always track back in time. But when he gets back you can see him drop to where a wb should be.

Even a man down we remain a nightmare to score against. 

Bodes well going forward. We need to clean some stuff up up front but hopefully that's just growing pains with Lukaku and will get better with time. 

Guessing we finally see some Chilwell with Reece out these next 3.

Good game. Your defense is going to take you places this season. 

I think you were ironically getting better chances when we had 11 on. Tough to break this team down with 8 sitting back.

Happy to get away with a point after that shit.   Also, i didn't see a replay of the last scuffle that got Mendy a yellow...anyone happen to catch it?

He got a yellow for kicking the ball.

Moves I still expect.

Sold

Zouma, Bakayoko, Tammy - DONE

Loaned

Kepa (I hope), Sarr or Ampadu, Miazga, Baba, Zappa, Barkley, Baker, Drinkwater, Kenedy (inj), Musonda (inj), Bats - I think Sarr and Ampadu movement depends on Kounde, otherwise this is done.

Purchased

Kounde - Looks like a long shot. And Saul looks to be a no go.

Watching Skysports stuff on Peacock and they just stated Saul's agent is still working on the loan as Saul "is keen" on a move to Chelsea. He apparently won't need to travel for a physical if the finances work out.

Saul appears in. 4mil loan cost, option to buy for I think 35mil.

Ampadu signed a new 3 year deal and off to Venezia on loan

Ross Barkley to Burnely isn't happening, did not expect him to stay on the squad.

So Barkley is just sitting around scratching his nuts? He's never going to crack our lineup. Strange.

I kind of wish we hadn't loaned Billy - seems like him getting some run would have been a fairly straightforward solution to the MF issue.

B team would mid table easily. 

Only alteration I'd make is I actually think Alonso is above Chilwell right now - for whatever reason. 

Also curious to see what we do with Pulisic moving forward. I wonder if Tuchel would entertain playing him at WB.

Tweet was deleted I think but the post is still up on reddit.
