    What a lousy display against Brighton. Actually this time I saw an Audi balls up, awful team selections, terrible performances and Lampard like delays in subs.
    Mount as no 6. WRONG.
    The mostly useless Pulisic starting WRONG. This bloke ,one on one, couldn't beat Audis' grandma, and that's if he's on his feet and not crawling around the pitch. Overated, overhyped, overplayed but an Audi favourite, Pulisic needs to play half a game regularly and get some form back, if he can. Talk about Werner, I'd have him every day before Pulisic.
    No Giroud against the Brighton giants, instead Havertz. Result, what do you think?
    No CHO. Again. Instead Ziyech, with zero feed from midfield. Ziyech needs to run from deeper into spaces, he's not a winger.
    Christensen at right back, what???? Why not James and CHO in front of him ??
    Anyway a truly lousy performance from all bar Jorginho. Who would have thought?

    Tbf CP, you put Mount in one of your recent line ups as a wing back and a no 6.

    result really not important last night anyway

    I did, but not beside Jorginho in the middle. What I find strange about Audis' selections is that he regularly refuses to play James/CHO/Mount down the right side. Yet they are almost telepathic together because of their history and any combination of those 3 always seems far more dangerous than playing say Pulisic or Ziyech.I think CHO particularly is getting a raw deal at the moment. I'd have him before the erratic Pulisic.

    Not really, I have been on his side since he improved so much under Tuchel, and he's far more effective than Pulisic if he plays in front of Reece James.
    I'm no big fan of Tammy Abraham, but I do think he deserves some game time, otherwise how can we ever know if he's learned anything. Ditto Billy Gilmour and Anjorin.
    Tuchel has proved correct by playing Werner who is actually very good on the left, but I am not convinced by Pulisic nor Havertz as false 9.
    Trouble is it's almost too late now to start chopping and changing, ,Brighton game showed why.
