What is your fascination with Tammy and trying justify his shortcomings? Jovic scored 27 goals (home & away against us) at the highest level last year.

The mastermind. I thought she had no say about ins or outs according to some. [emoji848]

I see those "reassurances" are working out. Crazy to think it's even a possibility, though.

I'd love things to turn out rosy, as it is something many of us have been calling for. One plus of the transfer ban

Putting all those eggs in youth.

That's exactly where I'm at. If Costa was still at the club, I wouldn't even be bringing his name up.

You can only score against the opposition you're actually fielded against, so.... He has more goals than our two CF's combined after three games. Him SCORING is better than what we have sat through this far. Why exactly would I "slaughter" someone for making a mistake or three after they've scored? Try harder next time [emoji1360]

Got a brace and should have scored more, so hopefully Lampard noticed his contribution from the stands.

I thought I noticed a mysterious figure outside my mirror.

He has a brace now

Need to bang in a hattrick for Lampard to notice he's available.

I'm aware of that. His lack of pace is exploited in such scenarios. Go chasing against Utd with him upfront failing to beat the first man and then, he's nowhere to be seen defensively. He can't excel at both parts of the game (maybe neither at this point). As I previously said, CB or bust for him at this point.

Utd makes the most sense with that naive transfer dealings, but they will have to easily top the fee Dortmund received for Dembele due to City's odd clause.

During his best years, he wasn't asked to fly forward so different parts of his game weren't exposed (crossing being the biggest one). It's been a different story since Conte left and we're seeing the obvious flaws he's had from day one. People can't expect him to be "tactically aware" on the overlap.

His legs have gone and that's the most important thing for a FB. I can only see him having a future at CB here.

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
