3 minutes turned in 6 and look what happens

Stats alone aren't the only marker. If anything, trophies should be king unless Messi is getting Muller-esque stats. VvD reached two finals, winning one.

Villa doing what we do and gift Utd a goal in the process.

Utd and Leicester are behind. Looking good so far

At least sides around us have dropped points thus far. I think Leicester will extend the gap but Utd will probably follow the rest.

Reason why Kante is still imperative to the team regardless of who's in charge.

That midfield offers literally no protection. The keeper thing is something I pointed out earlier. Probably making his Prem debut at 33 and wasn't tested at all. [emoji58]

Precisely. You can't expect to effectively freeze Giroud out magically expect him to deliver. Jorginho is the main one tbh; he's been dreadful since the INT break, so he shouldn't be near the starting XI against Villa. No one is exempt from criticism because of their age. From what I can see, Jorginho & Willian were called out for there part as well. A few gamed this season where Lampard's squad selection or subs have cost us. Needs to make the right calls on Wednesday.

Giroud, Pedro & Jorginho aren't youngsters. None of them should have started IMO

Kante has only been on 30 mins and has been the best player. On Lampard today

Well, Pulisic as AM is better than this

We was supposed to solve our problems. If this is going to be a regular thing, RLC's return can't come soon enough.

20 mins to go [emoji58]

Says enough. Never a fan of a false 9, but we'll see

We need to take the game to them now. A massive lifetime

A team offering width against one that isn't. VAR to save us again?

This GK hasn't played all season. Test him at least

Typical

3 shots on target, 2 goals. Sometimes you make your own luck.

Giroud and Pedro make a return. I hope it pays off

Qualification is all that matters at this point. We were the better side for 30 minutes, first side to have more possession against Pep's City and gifted City both their goals. If we were actually clinical in these games, we'd have won.

Awful week? Just lost to City & we still have our CL fate in our own hands.

At least Gera restored some pride

I bet Emery would still be there had Tottenham not set a marker.

He saved us on a couple occasions when he moved to CB. Just doesn't have the pace to go forward and defend anymore.
