Sky saying Chelsea have bid £40m for Anthony Gordon. Way over the top and dont see the need for him there.

Like the player but that's a nuts fee for him.
Everton would be dumb to sell at any price though, they already look like they might get relegated.
Was a rumour they wanted Broja? Maybe selling them Gordon to get him.
Lo Celso off to Villarreal on loan again, official
Our performance against Chelsea today - was it Conte's tactics or did we just not have the players?
What are1 or 2 signings that would solve the issues we saw today?

Another quality CB and a midfielder good on the ball who can calm it down when we're under the pump.
I thought Dier and Romero were fine today to be honest
Bentancur and PEH just got run over playing in a 2 which meant our front 3 had to play CDM 95% of the game
I'm not 100% convinced today's issues was because of personnel
Liverpool didn't have limitless funds when they won the champions league (and runners up twice) the Premier league, the fa Cup and the league cup in the space of what, 3 years?
They had a great coach who was backed with the players he needed at the time.
I'm hoping that's what we're finally seeing at Spurs as it sure as shit rarely ever happened in the past. (Don't think Poch knew what we needed tbh)
Not that I wanted him, but LVG was top choice. I even recalled De Boer being linked and wanted by some fans.
Because he's fairly average, plays on a position we have at least 5 players for and earns the kind of monet that's hopefully gonna see Barcelona go out of business
Liverpool I'll give you, though they're the exception rather than the rule. They also overspent massively in their 30 year hunt for a PL title, going through a number of owners and managers until they got it right.
Lo Celso gone now and hopefully Ndombele on the precipice. Should be a boon for our remaining transfer plans.
Less worried about Winks and Reguilon, think they have options and are just being patient until the end of the window assessing options. They’re both useful enough and not on outrageous wages, they’ll go somewhere.
Still could use another technical type player, still feels like it’ll be Zaniolo. Probably another CB would be useful, but no real links currently.
Wild that the window is still open and we’re basically talking about cherries on top. Squad and team are going to look a lot better when Bissouma, Richarlison, and Perisic are fully fit and integrated. Today was a positive step.

With rubbish coaches.
As we're seeing at Man United and Woolwich, throwing money at bad coaches brings very little in return.
The best United have done since Fergie is 2nd place (a mile behind 1st) and a couple of cups under Mourinho, the only decent coach they've had.
We have one of the best coaches in the world now. One who, paired with a reasonable DoF, is capable of using the money properly. We must make sure we take full advantage of it.
We also have to start matching our rivals on wages for top targets. Have to
And don't forget Leicester.
It was the system, if we'd gone:
Lloris
Emerson - Romero - Dier - Davies
Hojbjerg - Bissouma
Kane
Kulu - Rich - Son
Emerson - Romero - Dier - Davies
Hojbjerg - Bissouma
Kane
Kulu - Rich - Son
from the start we would have actually been competitive in the first half. The 343 has been found out by Tuchel and Conte was just slow to react.
We need to avoid making the same mistake again in the reverse fixture.
Putting PEH in a grundon bin would be a start
One paced. One dimensional straight line clogger. F O Ginge
against the real top sides davies and dier are out of their depth. get away with them against bottom half sides but against the top 5 they are weak links. lenglet has davies covered but im worried about dier in the big games, gets skinned far too easy and hes not good enough in possession.
Midfielder who can dictate game imo who is also a free kick expert. Never really replaced eriksen. Maddison would be good or tielemens.
You did see he scored for us, right?
It was Chelsea's tactics and Conte's inability to change it early on.
Chelsea were tactically perfect in that first half. Didn't let us to do anything on the ball or off the ball. We were lucky they only managed to go into the break at 1 up. But Conte really should have changed something in the first half to keep them guessing. And he certainly should have switched it up at half time instead of waiting mid way through the second half.
It wouldn't have mattered what players we had. Tuchel had Conte's number for 60 minutes. I said it in the match thread. We had the exact same players against the best team in the country and we not only outplayed them but beat them at their own ground last season.
