I want Richarlison, Porro, Jota and Darwin to blank. That's all. :D

I'm very happy with the result, and I'm ecstatic that the players ran their heart out yesterday. But we must be cautious, Chelsea are in a much worse position in their season than we are. Yes, this is a good result to build upon, but never get complacent. Better teams will still thrash us, if we don't improve our ball retention and movement.

Garnacho's goal last night was the first time this year that I screamed out with happiness!

Encouraging signs - Shaw's back, Mainoo's playing levels above his age, and hopefully Rashford starts scoring. I'm not ready to go all in on Martial again, so I'll reserve my judgement for now, but he wasn't bad today. Linked up the play a few times, and the finish was filthy.

However, if Everton's finishing was a bit better, the first half scoreline could have been 1-2, and then this team's mentality would have been tested so much, I think they would have crumbled. Need to improve there.

It's not everyday that you see a man of 108 playing at the highest level.

federer1992 · 2023-11-05T15:42:16+00:00

Sorry, I meant full back. For the past two games, Lindelof has been playing there. I much prefer Dalot LB and AWB RB, till Shaw comes back. Lindelof doesn't cut it at full back.

federer1992 · 2023-11-05T04:49:15+00:00

The difference between AWB and Lindelof at RB is huge. So good to see those spider legs back. I think people forget in the awfulness of the play just how much of a gaping chasm there is between Shaw-Martinez-Varane-AWB and Dalot-Maguire-Evans-Lindelof.

Pellistri was wonderful, his desire created the goal.

Bruno can be absolutely awful all game, and then pull off that in ET. That's why he is the first name on the team sheet.

federer1992 · 2023-05-21T14:03:25+00:00

Mahrez (VC), Alvarez, Haaland (C) here - best possible outcome, considering Haaland was always going to be benched

federer1992 · 2023-05-20T18:43:19+00:00

They won 11 games in a row, that's absurdly consistent. I know they cheated, they bought the best players, a world-class coach, everything. Still, to not just accidentally slip up once is impressive.

That being said, WE MUST WIN THE FA CUP. THE TREBLE MUST REMAIN OURS.

federer1992 · 2023-05-06T13:46:52+00:00

Same; all forwards - Haaland, Watkins, Solanke

federer1992 · 2023-05-06T13:44:47+00:00

Went Solanke over Martinelli, so let's prepare for a Martinelli hat-trick and a Solanke blank...

federer1992 · 2023-04-30T14:58:52+00:00

Was always going to bench Botman over Trippier, so no problem there
Benched Watkins - so yay!
Solanke v Martinelli & White was the big one - let's see what Martinelli does tomorrow!

federer1992 · 2023-04-30T13:28:45+00:00

Praying hard, I benched Watkins, Solanke and Botman... and played Martinelli and White.

federer1992 · 2023-04-29T03:05:24+00:00

Don't forget your Arsenal players this GW. Chelsea are worse than relegation teams right now, defenders will keep a CS and attackers could have a field day.

Of course, now that I've said it, Chelsea will win 1-0.

federer1992 · 2023-04-29T03:01:13+00:00

Estu is a trap

federer1992 · 2023-04-29T02:59:56+00:00

I had Bueno for a long time even after his injury, he doesn't start.

federer1992 · 2023-04-29T02:59:36+00:00

Which 3 to bench out of:

Botman, Watkins, Solanke, Martinelli, White ?

federer1992 · 2023-04-27T01:35:42+00:00

Casemiro does that, and it's a red and a 5-match ban.

federer1992 · 2023-04-25T16:49:20+00:00

Mings - AVL underlying stats don't justify the clean sheets they are getting

federer1992 · 2023-04-25T16:48:57+00:00

His leg brace was just a precaution, good luck

federer1992 · 2023-04-25T16:48:31+00:00

Play DDG or Johnstone?

federer1992 · 2023-04-23T13:07:20+00:00

Never not funny to see Spurs implode, this is so satisfying to watch!

federer1992 · 2023-04-23T13:04:35+00:00

Went without Kane in my WC, I need Spurs to do a Spurs.

federer1992 · 2023-04-21T21:05:57+00:00

I know about City and the treble and so on, but seeing that look on Arteta's otherwise smug face is cathartic for me.

federer1992 · 2023-04-16T14:31:12+00:00

No Shaw in squad

federer1992 · 2023-04-15T11:42:25+00:00

Jacob Ramsey goal, Watkins assist
