February 4, 20214 yr Author Sticking with Werner and no Puli to start. Not what I expected but not sure it's the wrong play. And it just got really wet. I'd be shocked if 2 doesn't win it today considering both team's form. Edited February 4, 20214 yr by ztejas

February 4, 20214 yr Author 3 minutes ago, MoJames said: Wonder if Christensen or Rudiger goes central. Looks like Rudiger. And that's a shame - Silva was playing well.
February 4, 20214 yr Author 2 minutes ago, MoJames said: Eww bad defense on the set piece. You're a bit ahead of me. Looks like Dave mistimed his jump - we didn't fail to mark him. Glad we got that goal with Silva out now.
February 4, 20214 yr Author Spurs have been very fouly today. Get on with your bad self, Alonso. Show Timo how to finish. Edited February 4, 20214 yr by ztejas
February 4, 20214 yr Man if we could somehow give Kovacic the ability to shoot, we'd be in a very good spot
February 4, 20214 yr Author 7 minutes ago, MoJames said: I think I'd be more comfortable with Silva still out there. Sure Good fucking Lord Werner can not stay onside
February 4, 20214 yr Just now, TexArcher said: Just a huge result. And beating Josay makes it feel like it's worth 4 points. Couldn't agree more.
February 4, 20214 yr Author 1 minute ago, MoJames said: Up to 6th in the table with only Man City having 1 game in hand. Everton is level with us with 2 in hand so more like 7th. But today was big and 3 points is 3 points. We still seem pretty iffy when it comes to finishing and creating good chances but our possession and defense has been dare I say phenomenal with Tuchel at the helm. Sometimes you just need 1 and that 1 might be a PK.

February 4, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, MoJames said: Up to 6th in the table with only Man City having 1 game in hand. Well, we're level with Everton and they've got 2 in hand. And Tottenham and Villa are behind us and fading but they've got 1 and 2 in hand respectively. But today was a big deal for us, no question.
February 4, 20214 yr Author 2 minutes ago, MoJames said: You guys wouldn't make good beat writers Idk I think we have a nice good cop/bad cop thing going. Everton is also about to see Manu, City, Pool and Chelsea over the next 6 so they could easily fall back. Edited February 4, 20214 yr by ztejas

February 7, 20214 yr Author Another yuge one today. They all will be down the stretch. Win puts us into 5th and 1 point back of Pool for top 4 - who we see for our 2nd leg on March 20th. Sheffield isn't great but has had some nice recent form - beating ManU and West Brom and playing City tight 0-1. Interesting lineup. Pulisic not in the 18 - not sure what that's about. No Ziyech or Kante either. Skrange. Edited February 7, 20214 yr by ztejas
February 7, 20214 yr Author This already seems to cute from Tuchel. I get that he's still sussing out the roster but we are in win now mode. This isn't a rebuild.
February 7, 20214 yr Author Made it work there though! Was going to comment at half that we really picked it up around the 30th. Mount has been great the past few games.
February 7, 20214 yr Author What the fuck Rudiger? Are you fucking shitting me? And we get a pen to instantly retake the lead LOL. Werner is under new management! Edited February 7, 20214 yr by ztejas
February 7, 20214 yr Author Good 3. O settled in after the first 30 - Werner was very good past that point. Mount was awesome. D was a little shakier than it has been under Tuchel but still kept them out of the back of the net. Thank God that Rudiger gaffe didn't cost us.
February 7, 20214 yr I don't really understand the lineup decisions...and hate that we had to work so hard for that...but damn solid results so far for Tuchel.
February 8, 20214 yr 4 hours ago, TexArcher said: I have frequently turned to this clip over the years. It is a classic.
February 8, 20214 yr Author 10 hours ago, TexArcher said: Especially after Liverpool gets handed an ass-beating and the win is to put us firmly back in the top 4 race. I'm feeling much better about the Atletico matchup now, too. The style Tuchel has put on the pitch so far could carry us through in the CL - especially if Werner can keep it up or be a little better even.
February 9, 20214 yr Author Good injury update. https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/platform/amp/2021/2/8/22271691/tuchel-updates-on-thiago-silva-injury-pulisic-absence-werner-dead-leg
February 11, 20214 yr ESPN+ for anyone that wants to watch. Barnsley is full on high press just like they would against Norwich in Championship play.
February 11, 20214 yr Author Fack I got carried away and forgot it was on. Even wearing my Chelsea hat.
