Fixture congestion contributed to by success in reaching Carabao Cup semi-final will make January a key month in keeping on track in the - to my mind - far more important quest for top four place. So much rests on this, not least both keeping a top player like Hazard and adding quality too. Last year January seemed to have exhausted us. So I have slightly mixed feelings about adding two matches to our schedule, though both are against a top four rival. Sarri must obviously use considerable rotation but will he risk/ trust youngsters in a semi-final?

I struggle to see where Isco would fit in our team. Obviously vastly talented, bu we currently have 5 (4 if Fab leaves) players playing for 3 spots.

Unless this is a sign that Hazard is going to be our #9, then Isco will possibly play on the left wing with our normal midfield rotation.

Do you think that this will actually happen, or just paper rumors? I haven't a clue which papers are "reliable" haha. I also want to wish you all a happy holiday, best to you!

isco is not a left midfielder he wpuldnt offer anything out der for me . he has no pace very few wingers around with no pace.

He would play instead of kovecic, we wouldn’t sign him and Cesc going would leave Kante Jorginho Loftus-Cheek and Barkley. 5 CM’s ( 3 starting 2 subs ) would be one hell of a signing.

Personally I don’t want him for the fee, I’m happy with our midfielders. Barkley could be replaced in a year or so by Mount so no point spending. But Kovacic as he’s fantastic against the press and good in tight areas. Put the money towards a new left back and right winger and striker.

no disrespect kante but would gives a dam what the fee is we won't be paying ut big rom will. do t understand why fans get caught up in that nonsense about fees etc.

Because we have to conform to UEFA Financial Regulations and spending £70m on Isco means we can't spend £70m on someone else.

What a bit of play from Pedro last night!
Racing to win the ball back in midfield before the goal, was something to celebrate itself!

It's time to see Emerson replace Alonso in the starting line up. His link up play is so much better than the latter. Who else feels the same way?

Very much agree - at least, it would create a sense of combitition for the spot.

Both of them need to train on crossing!

Agree0 Disagree0

That seems to be the case with all of ours fullback, though. And afterall, the defenders primary job is to defend! Something that Emerson does better than Alonso, at the moment IMO.

It's time to give Emerson a long run in the squad. With game time he may develop to become a very valuable first team player.

Going back to crossing, if we had full backs who could cross, link up really well and defend then we would have a different dimension to out attack. I think both liverpool and Man City are doing it really well. Poch seems to be doing well with mediocre fullbacks too.
