    The first game under new government sanctions and whilst I have never believed we were in a top 4 battle we need to win this to ensure we can rotate the squad enough to keep Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho relatively fresh for the FA Cup Final.

    Arsenal need to win this as well, failure to do so spells an end to any slim chance they have of toppling Tottenham for top 4 IMO.

    Can see it now, they’re well out of form, we’re back in form...they’re gonna beat us aren’t they?

    Shame we’re without Kovacic, much better team with him in it. I’d probably start Loftus Cheek in midfield, same front 3, James at wing back with Silva alongside Rudiger & Christensen in the back three.

    Currently 2-2 with The Arse at time of writing. ‘Visit Rwanda’ emblazoned on the sleeves of The Arse shirts - is this advert for the illegals arriving in dinghies at Dover?

    Great spot that made I chuckle.

    Not laughing now mind that was pant's. Awful display well, defending anyhow. 14 goals shipped in 4 home games is it?

    More dud selections by Audi, he's definitely looking rattled to me. Christensen is slow, feeble and in a terrible head space. Will be surprised if anyone wants to buy him after his last couple of performances, and he obviously knows it. Lukaku needs to be sidelined until he's shipped out, he's totally useless. If we want to score, then James need to play wing back especially if Kovacic is out, and NOT in Dave's position, stupid call with Christensen in the defence. And another kid we let go comes back to bury us.
    Anyone still think the off field goings on aren't affecting us ??? It's clear as a bell, we are all over the place like a sick dogs' breakfast.

    Told you it was going to happen. Gave em all 4 goals, too many players not picked. It was the sort of line up we’d usually put out for a fourth round cup tie against a lower league side. Selection was a disaster, Tuchel doesn’t get much wrong but he did tonight.

    On a side note, I’d love to know the percentage of games Christensen plays the full 90 after being in the starting XI. Never known anyone get so many little injuries? He never finishes a game!!

    True, he's like Pulicics' twin, both are "sick notes", both are feeble in body and mind, and both should be playing somewhere where they can do what they are good at with no pressure. For Pulisic that's the Bundesliega, slow motion walking with occasional bursts of speed and no tackles roaring in, and Christensen, possibly ditto. Don't think he's quick enough for La Liega, but might be. For certain neither are tough enough nor mentally able to cope with the PL.
