Iskaral Pust Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 3 hours ago, Consigliere said: ETA. Romano reported earlier in the day that Inter are interested in Sanchez. Di Marzio is now reporting that Inter have reached an agreement with Sanchez and are in talks with United. That’s a convenient escape for United. I was looking forward to them carrying that contract to completion, and poisoning every other contract negotiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon the Leaner Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Unsure whether it's wise to get rid of Alexis now though. Lukaku's gone, Greenwood & Chong are youth, Mata's old and Lingard is Lingard, so we are incredibly short in our forward options. Apparently we aren't gonna sign anyone until next summer, so even if we keep him one more season, he isn't gonna poison anything, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 It's a loan deal and if Inter's terms are even somewhat decent then I say we should accept. Sanchez is clearly not in Solskjaer's plans and if he ends up sitting on the bench for the bulk of the season then he will be unsellable. At least at Inter he would be given more game time and might perform better in a slower paced league which gives us a chance of offloading him next summer. It's a risk with Lukaku gone as well but one worth taking imo. Sanchez has been useless for us. If players like Greenwood, Gomes and Chong end up doing fuck all as well then they would be no worse than Sanchez and all those players combined don't earn anywhere near Sanchez's wage.

Joey Crows Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm predicting Pulisic gets his first goal today against Leicester. I'm also predicting Brenden Rogers says some crazy shit at some point during his postgame interview, but that's not going out on a limb much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There's been a couple moments where he's got a bit cocky but James Maddison has absolutely bossed this second half. I remember a year ago when we were wondering where England were going to find creativity outside of Raheem Sterling. Now we're getting close to wondering how they're gonna fit everyone in.

Consigliere Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Maddison has had a good game but that was an awful miss. No composure at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Leicester dominated that 2nd half. Chelsea were hanging on towards the end there. Chelsea were the better side in the first half and could have had more than the one goal. Draw is a fair result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Crows Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Chelsea's press was serving them extremely well in the first half. After that though, they played pretty sloppily in possession and negated any advantage winning the ball back gave them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Midweek exertions took its toll on the Chelsea players. They looked gassed in the last 10 or so minutes. ETA. Trippier gets his first assist. Inch perfect cross for a Morata header to give Atleti the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 One thing about Leicester is they're going to have to be pretty careful with their formation this year. With Maddison, Perez and Tielemans, they were almost playing with three no 10s (Tielemans isn't quite that but he occupies those spaces when he gets forward). It took a while for them to figure out their movements and get off each others' feet, and more complete defensive teams than Chelsea will begin to crowd them. That could work in their favour because if they get the balance right- and they're three very different no 10s - they will not be easy to crowd and teams could find their press being turned inside out in any number of ways across the three of them - but it also leaves them very, very reliant on their FBs for width- and they are full-backs rather than outright wingbacks.

Joey Crows Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I know this is a European focused thread, but this Atlanta United vs Portland match in MLS is so good. Quality from both teams and end to end stuff. If you haven’t watched much of this league do yourself a favor and catch this match. Make no mistake it’s not the prem but it’s fun football.

Joey Crows Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Side note; I’m from Atlanta originally and the atmosphere in the ATL is amazing. Getting 70,000 fans regularly in a state-of-the-art stadium is something special. That being said, Portland feels like Craven Cottage. Smaller, older, weird stadium that radiates energy.
