The game v Spurs is huge, a real 6 pointer, no margin for error. Win, and these young players will really kick on. Must get the defence right, keep Ali and Son quiet. Stop Kane. Erikson? I think Jose will play him. Over to us, I hope Tomori starts alongside Rudiger, James and Emerson. Must pack the midfield so Kovacic, Jorginho and Kante. Tammy and Willian must start and I think Pulisic might be the star.

Good team G8. I’ve got a feeling Lamps may well start with CHO rather than Willian.

G8 snap. You've taken the team straight out my hands.

Emerson took a lot of stick for the Mahrez goal vs Man City.

I'm afraid Chilwell has not been much better today and pretty much made the same mistake in allowing Mahrez to cut in from the right and get a shot away on his left. His not the Ashley Cole we all expect but better than what we have. However, as Ed1 says for me it is Gaya from Valencia.

I don't think a LB exists who can cope with Mahrez if he is left with so much space and little or no support from a midfield player.
I thought Azpi should have started against Citeh precisely to deal with him cutting in.
Whilst I think Chilwell is an upgrade on our LB he certainly isn't woeth £30/ 40m more than Emerson or Alonso.
Defending is our achilles heel but this has more to do with the managers tactics than the players defensive skills.

IMO Turvey you are spot on with you analysis about the lack of support Chilwell got from the left side of the Leicester midfield. He showed Mahrez the line as you would with a player who prefers to cut in onto his left foot but very rarely did we see him get any help to close the gap inside.

This also happens a lot on the same side in our defence and obviously some fans jump all over the defender.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - he also stood too far off as he was clearly terrified of him. It was rank amateur defending by Chilwell.}

22 Dec 2019 11:25:22
Agree Ed1 that was my main concern. It just got me thinking whether all the hype around him is genuine. No doubt the guy has ability and is an improvement on what we have atm.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - if he keeps working hard he will be amazing, but if he misses team meetings and is late for training too many more times, then it could cost him.}

22 Dec 2019 14:20:52
Didn’t know he had these issues. It would be a shame if he waisted his talent through a poor attitude.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nice insight there ed1.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - cheers mate. The thing with Sancho is that he told a teammate something along the lines of he had made it now when he got his England cap. Since then he has been consistently late or even skipping meetings and training sessions to the point he was given a public reprimand and dropped. Only time will tell if he needs the warnings.}

Mahrez has had Chilwell on toast so far in this game. What a player Vardy is too, he's so predictable running behind but you just can't stop him.

Chilwell has been ripped to shreds mate. Eye opener for everyone to see.

Agree0 Disagree1

21 Dec 2019 23:03:22
Any player can have a bad day or days. Chilwell is a very good left back but I just can’t see him coming to us anytime soon but I hope I’m wrong!

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Dec 2019 11:26:07
That is true Tom. I weren't knocking the players ability, it just got me thinking whether all the media hype is all genuine.

Another player who I think we should target along with Werner is Aubameyang. I love Tammy I think he's quality but I'd like to see us play another striker who can play on the wing alongside him to give us a big goal threat like we had with Drogba and Anelka.

Aubameyang wants to leave Arsenal and we'd be stupid not to keep him in London with us. He's exactly what we need. He's experienced, strong, technically brilliant and will give us goals. Tammy and him together would be unreal. Lampard said he wants players with Pace and Power.

Respectfullly disagree. Auba is not at all what we need. He'd come on massive wages, and that is IF Arsenal would sell him to us.
We'd be investing ridiculous money in a player who is 30 already, and that's not a wise decision.

On top of that I've never come away impressed after watching him play on the wing. So Auba would be a massive pass from me.

Werner on the other hand could be terrific in a similar role to the one Anelka played for us. A forward, but just not really operating centrally. He's like Rashford in my opinion, but with better intelligence in his movement and a worse shot from range.
That said, I think everyone and his dog knows it's a matter of time before he's at Bayern.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal would have no objection with selling a player to Chelsea. And of course Chelsea has no interest whatsoever in Aubameyangadingdong.}

21 Dec 2019 09:07:03
I agree, Jackson.
Also think Werner is the ideal player to get although probably very unlikely. It would, however, be extra satisfying to get him after the way Bayern publicly declared their interest in CHO multiply times. In my opinion, clubs should refrain from that, and it sometimes seems that Bayern think they can do whatever they want. Would be nice to bring them back down to earth once again!

Agree0 Disagree0

You don’t think they’d sell him to us Ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - What have I just written?}

Frank Auba Is 30 years old. That ship sailed many years ago.

Cheers, Ed. Good to read Chelsea has zero interest. I figured as much, but still good to read it from you.
