I know most of us are excited to see the team play today, and yeah, I am too, especially after Iraola said we’ll be seeing most of the players we haven’t seen much this season.

Here are the players I’m expecting to start:

1️⃣ Mamardashvili: Iraola already confirmed he’ll start. I’ll be watching to see if he’s improved his distribution and confidence on the ball.

2️⃣ Araujo + Gomez: I think we could see this pairing today, mainly to give Jacquet a much-needed rest.

3️⃣ Tsimikas + Frimpong: Both need to put in impressive performances because the jury is still out on them. Tsimikas was taken off at half time after a below-par performance in the last game, and we all know about Frimpong’s struggles. They both have something to prove today.

4️⃣ Nyoni + Mac Allister: I wouldn’t be surprised if Iraola uses this as another double-pivot experiment against what should be a combative Spurs midfield.

5️⃣ Szoboszlai: This is the one I really want to see. Give him the No. 10 role and let’s see what he can produce. If he struggles, I’d love to hear from all the tacticos who have been blaming Wirtz for our lack of creativity. 😂

6️⃣ Rio + Gakpo: I think we could see this wing pairing since neither started the last game.

7️⃣ Koumas: I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Koumas starts ahead of Chiesa today tbh.

This Cherki vs Wirtz debate will always sound shit to me.

There was a reason Wirtz was more expensive. Football is more than goals and assists.

Wirtz runs, presses, drops deep and does everything for the team. If Cherki was at Liverpool, I'm not even sure Iraola would start him.

People focus too much on stats and ignore what a player actually brings to the team. That's why this comparison makes no sense to me

🚨 Michael Owen on Cole Palmer foolishly getting himself sent off:

🎙️ Michael Owen: “Honestly, I don’t understand what Cole Palmer was thinking. At this level, you cannot afford to make decisions like that. Your team needs you on the pitch, especially in a game where every single moment matters.

“You can be the most talented player in the world, you can have all the ability and creativity, but what is the point if you leave your teammates fighting with ten men because you couldn’t control yourself? It’s incredibly frustrating.

“Chelsea are trying to win football matches, and Palmer is one of the players they depend on to make the difference. Instead, he has put his team in a difficult position and given the opposition an advantage they didn’t even have to work for.

“I’m sorry, but that’s foolish. Absolutely foolish. There is a time to be aggressive, there is a time to stand your ground, but you have to use your brain. You cannot let your emotions make decisions for you.

“And now he’ll miss games, Chelsea will have to find a way to cope without him, and everyone will be talking about his red card instead of his football. That’s the most disappointing part. He has the quality to decide games, but today he’s made himself the centre of attention for all the wrong reasons.”

🚨 Enzo Maresca on suffering his first defeat of the season against Aston Villa:

🎙️ “Honestly, I think we need to talk about the conditions of this game because I don’t think people understand how difficult it is to play against a team that comes here with absolutely no intention of allowing us to enjoy our football.

“We had the ball, we controlled possession, we moved it from side to side, and what did Aston Villa do? They defended, they waited, they counterattacked, and suddenly everybody wants to tell me they deserved to win. For what? Because they scored more goals? Football is becoming very strange.

“And I’m sorry, but the referee also needs to explain some decisions because every time we tried to build something, there was a foul, a challenge, a player on the ground. It’s impossible to establish rhythm when the game is constantly being interrupted.

“This is our first defeat of the season, and suddenly people will start questioning everything. The tactics, the substitutions, the players, my decisions. If we had won today, everybody would be talking about how intelligent our approach was. But because we lost, suddenly I don’t understand football anymore.

“I also don’t think people appreciate how difficult it is to play every three days. We have injuries, we have players who are tired, and we have an opposition that has the entire week to prepare for us. But nobody wants to discuss these things. Everybody just wants to talk about the result.

“And Aston Villa, congratulations to them, but let’s be honest, they made our afternoon extremely uncomfortable. Every time we tried to play through the middle, they closed the spaces. Every time we tried to go wide, they were there. We changed the system, we changed the players, we changed the approach, and still they refused to cooperate with our plans.

“Now we have to listen to people saying this defeat exposes our weaknesses. One defeat! Our first defeat! I would like to know which team in the world wins every single game without having one difficult afternoon.

“So yes, we lost. I accept that. But I refuse to accept that everything we have done since the beginning of the season suddenly means nothing because Aston Villa decided to turn this football match into a personal attack against our possession statistics.”

🚨 James Milner on Manchester City potentially facing a points deduction that could send them to the Championship:

🎙️ Interviewer: “James, reports suggest Manchester City could face a huge points deduction, potentially leading to relegation, if the Premier League charges result in serious punishment. You played for City, but you also spent years at Liverpool competing against them for the biggest trophies. What would you make of it?

James Milner:

“Look, I have history with both clubs. Manchester City was an important part of my career, and I have respect for the people I worked with there. But playing for a club doesn’t mean you stop believing in fairness”

“I was at Liverpool when we were chasing City for Premier League titles. We pushed ourselves to the limit, collected points, won games under enormous pressure, and sometimes finished a single point behind. Those seasons demanded everything from the players, the staff and the supporters”

“So if the allegations are proven and the punishment is serious, people cannot expect everyone simply to shrug their shoulders and move on. What would all those points, all those battles and all those near-misses mean if the rules weren’t applied equally to every club?

“Let me be clear: allegations are not a verdict. Manchester City deserve a fair process, and nobody should pretend the final punishment has already been decided. But if serious breaches are established, the consequences must reflect the seriousness of what has been proven”

“And relegation? That’s not something anyone should celebrate before the facts are settled. It would be enormous for the club, the players and the supporters. But the size of a club, its trophies, its wealth or its influence cannot decide whether the rules apply”

Interviewer: “Some City supporters will say rival fans simply want to see them punished because of their success. What would you say to that?

Milner:

“That’s the easiest way to dismiss the conversation, isn’t it? Call everyone jealous and avoid the actual question”

“Liverpool and City gave us some incredible title races. The quality was unbelievable. But supporters who watched those seasons have a right to want answers if the integrity of the competition is questioned”

“Imagine spending your life supporting a club, watching your team come painfully close to a title, and then being told that questions about the competition don’t matter because the other club is successful. You wouldn’t accept that”

“I’m not asking for Manchester City to be relegated because I played for Liverpool. I’m saying that if the same rules apply to every club, the same principles must apply when the consequences arrive”

“If City are cleared, people must respect that outcome. If serious breaches are proven, City must accept the consequences. That’s what fairness means”

“And one final thing: don’t confuse respecting a club with believing it should be exempt from accountability. Those are two very different things.”
