I just don’t think Araujo will thrive in Flick’s system. Christensen, like Iñigo, would do great I think, and is younger and faster than Iñigo. Shame we didn’t sell Araujo to Bayern when we could, I don’t think he’ll ever become reliable on the ball in high pressure games

So you don’t have any concrete examples this is affecting his contribution/performance for the team in his time with us. I honestly think he outgrew it or learned how to handle it. He’s been at Chelsea since he was a youth player, and has played many Big games, including a CL final since...

This is from his Chelsea days, not while he’s been with us. Which is my whole point

He's been here for a few seasons now, when exactly has this supposed weak mentality affected us?

Judging from highlights, Kim and especially Virgili completely changed the game. Holy mother Virgili did a lot of damage in those 40-50 minutes

How many CL exits should Araujo cost us before we move on? The idea of him being a defensive beast is really nice, but he hasn't shown that in big games aside from bullying Vini. Reality is that he's by far our worst defender on the ball, it slows down and hurts our build up. He's also the...

Balde isn’t good enough offensively to do the job of an LW full time imo, and I think it would be incredibly beneficial for us to have a much more dangerous player to play on that side, even if I love Balde. Balde will still have plenty of oportunities to contribute offensively with overlaps...

If reports are true, then he’d be a great addition to the squad for a 12m salary. Biggest downside is it’d officially close the door on Leao, would’ve been amazing to see him run at Trent :lol:

Well Rapha could be the RW in case Lamine needs rest.

Perfectly summed up. Fixed narratives, hides for months until he can cherry pick an example or two that fits said narrative. Can’t get over how he uses the same example from the Inter games again and again however. He was the best on the pitch in both matches, and had it not been for him, it...

We’ll it’s not like Araujo hasn’t got injury issues. I think its a bad call. Christensen is a better defender for this team. Much more intelligent and suites to play the high line, and in a different stratosphere on the Ball compared to Araujo.

It's not that he's a shit defender. It's just that I can't envision us winning a CL with him playing a significant part in the knockouts.

Bit surprising if Toni isn’t included, has Looked like the B’s most dangerous player everytime I’ve watched them (admittedly only a few times).

Yeah looked pretty uninspired tbh

She really was, not nearly as dangerous as usually and made some bad decisions
