The purists' videos are always interesting.

Don't like what I've seen from the Araujo - Cubarsí pairing so far, end of last season included. I get that Flick wants to solidify a CB pair for the XI, but I think Christensen should be more involved. We know he has a good partnership with Araujo, and might just suit Cubarsí better aswell...

These outrageous inconsistencies in the handling in first the Tchouameni handball, then Fermin's, then Balde's, need to be explained. Can't just be the referee deciding whatever the fuck he wishes without reasoning. We have VAR now and several referees overseeing these decisions.

Must be a bit annoying for Eriksen hearing Levy mention over and over how little he thinks 20m is

Thought Roony is registered in the B team? If Madrid can do that with mastantuono, surely we can do so with Roony?

Olmo still has a role to play. Fermin’s first touch and ability to receive the ball under pressure can let him Down sometimes in big games. Noticeably hindered/ruined our transitions on a few occasions in the games against Bayern and RM in fall for example. Even if he had decisive moments in...

Read its 148 players or something in liga and segunda that are still yet to be registered. Ridiculous really.

A left footed LCB can more easily and naturally access more passing lanes. Helps build up. Cuba’s passing is also better when he’s played on the right.

Thought you said AC is our best defender?

Tendon issues are always incredibly slow to heal and tricky to deal with, especially the achilles. I just think it was the injury and nothing else. But hopefully it’s truly in the past now, and he’ll stay fit. Aside from not being left footed and unable to acces the same passing lanes as Iñigo...

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...
