Some run from Felix to earn it, tho -

Rennes normally breed them young and reap the rewards.

That shouldn't be the case after a matter of weeks, though. 9 times out of 10, it's detrimental to the team.

Utd's only saving grace is Wolves played on Thursday. I highly doubt they will come away with more than a point.

Many thought Tammy would adjust to life in the Prem like a duck to water. His spell at Swansea wasn't down to him at all but those around him.

I'm smelling favouritism already. We had to put up with it long enough with Alonso and look how far Emerson has come along now. Lampard better no alienate players that could actually be of use.

We won't. If anything, the chances we create will diminish and we'll look even worse.

They are arguably more naive than us defensively but actually have a goalscorer as you mentioned. Will the penny drop for Lampard in the next few days?

Another game that SHOULD have been wrapped up inside 20 mins, yet we come away fortunate to get a point. I'm worried about Norwich at this point

Willian comes back with this joke cameo

Azpi's side a liability again. Going to be hard to get anything at this rate.

On the bench.....

It was inevitable. We put our trust in Abraham to restore our lead

Played some good stuff in the opening 20 mins but have fallen off a bit. Hope we're alert at the start of the 2nd half.

Already two big chances that we've failed to take

Everyone seems to think the latter is sorted with Reece. No idea if he's anywhere near good enough, but I look forward to seeing him challenge Azpi.

I'll take a small victory in Giroud starting at the very least. Someone that can score at this level. I'm shocked!

3 points are a must. I'm expecting a lot of goals in this game.

In your opinion. That's where they are "better".

[emoji1] Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so there isn't much to say. With Michy being so "limited", I don't know what our other two options are. I think I might have missed Drogba, prime Torres & Eto'o in the dressing room last week/Wednesday tbh.

Two identical chances presented themselves in our last two games where great balls were played in with no one in the box. Such instances are crying out for a poacher. If Lampard was actually speaking the truth, this is the ideal opportunity

We need nothing more than a proven finisher right now. Two games in and we're already talking about "bad luck" when it has nothing to do with that. If you don't take your chances, you'll lose more often than not. Mount & Pedro created NINE chances between them against Utd, so please do remind me what the score was. P.S. Costa wasn't exactly El Fenomeno reincarnated btw

He knows he's the best they have. Jovic will be gone by next year.

It would be great if so many weren't naive. Have to laugh at those that say he isn't "a proven finisher".

VAR has denied two teams 3 points over both matchdays.
