IF Brands/Carlo allocated £35m on Koulibaly i cant see us spending on a RB when we are desperate in need higher up the pitch.
Carlo watching training everyday might see potential in Godfrey 'becoming' a quality RB. Ill not write him off over the saints game, and tbh i havent seen him being that comfortable on the ball but that was mainly at LB where his natural body position would be out.
Selling Mina/Keane/Holgate to bring in 15-20m on top of whatever we get for Bernard, Kean and for me Gomes, means we are still flush to bring in a back up striker and a quality RM, and the only real outlay would be on a proper CM.

If we don't sign a Right Back we shouldn't even bother playing any games next season.

Anyway, it's jarg o' clock.

Chelsea played a 343 under Conte and it worked pretty well but it was largely reliant on Kante and Matic being brilliant int he middle, Hazard just being out of this world, Luiz and Azpilicueta playmaking from the back, and Alonso and Moses providing creativity from wingback.

When you look at our team we don’t have most of those ingredients. We’d need to buy them in as you say.

The quality of the squad is massively overhyped in my view. Teams like Chelsea have a number of solutions to play anyway they want, every player has pace and creativity so that changing formation is a tactical exercise to outwit the opponent.

We change formation to find one that covers the many limitations of our players to give us a chance to win the game. That’s the difference. Tuchel is thinking ‘is the aerial ability of Giroud better for this game or is Werner’s speed a better option’. Carlo is thinking ‘which one of these midfielders has looked less tragic in training this week’

People don’t want to hear the simple message that until we give Ancelotti a squad that’s from 1-24 can compete with City, Chelsea, United, Liverpool, Leicester then lo and behold we probably won’t be in the top 4 regularly. At the moment though the season long view isn’t being taken. So in a stretch of games against top 6 opposition we will beat Spurs Liverpool Arsenal Chelsea and this is all well and good but when we then lose in the cup quarters, or away to Chelsea or City, it’s all ‘why can’t Ancelotti get more from these players in a one off game’. It’s a complete double standard which is muddying the waters of this debate at the moment.

In my view the squad isn’t good enough to play most formations apart from a simple 4231. We need to buy a lot of better players to give our world class manager the options he needs to compete.

But Liverpool have suffered 4/5 injuries and are over 30 points down on last season.

Unless you’re a regular champions league team, I think it’s difficult to keep a quality squad happy, just moving forward and trying to compete, we just need a bit more luck over the next few years. I have no doubt we will have a much better starting 11 in 2 yrs and a better bench, but I don’t expect 22 top class players.

Chelsea have an 800mil pound squad, that’s also fully fit. Even with champions league football, I expect a few of their players not being happy as squad players. IE. Hudson odoi , pulisic. Abraham.


We started this season playing 433, but teams found us out, started to attack our right side and it stretched the midfield. Which is still a weak area. And not helped having Allan and Doucoure playing less than a 3rd of the league games together.

A 4231 IMO is a waste abs we may as well sell Richarlison, he’s totally wasted on the left, especially with James or Siggurdsson in the 10role. He Asked to do to much defensive work. And in ancelotti’s defensive style he spends more time in his own half.

We have to play 2 upfront going forward, unless we sell Richarlison, which hopefully doesn’t happen

If they spend 35 on koulibaly it’s because they have more money to spend than people think. They will buy a RB this summer 100%
