If we are serious about a top dour charge we simply has to start winning against the top teams. What better game to start with than this one? Team is largely picking itself imo, but I'm a bit wary playing Alonso against Rashford and would perhaps chose Chilwell for this one.

Hmm - I guess the club may be reconsidering a contract for next year. Great when fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT - Christensen's father is his agent, do you remember the shenanigans during and after his two year loan in Germany regarding, his son being a 1st team player and how he will not come back to the club to be a squad player etc, etc,, He is a good player, however; I don't think he will ever become top draw. IMO if a team is prepared to pay decent money for him the club should take it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO if a team is prepared to pay decent money for him the club should take it There hasn't been much noise for a long time and that's with him being on the bench for a year. Thinking back, Christensen was obviously great under Conte but he also pretty good under Sarri. Towards the end of that season Rudiger was injured and he stepped up and performed very well in the Europa final. Perhaps another written off too quickly under questionable management. I was certainly one of those who thought he wasn't up to it but re-evaluating after recent performances. Edited February 27 by Willian Dollar Baby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasonb Report post Posted February 27 I think he is a good squad option and looking at City and the re-emergence of John Stones suggests defenders can improve. Let's see how he goes with a run of games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
