Was shocked to see Hazard taken off ahead of him last night. Pedro offered much more of a threat when he came on.

We need to take them to the cleaners. They have a shaky defence to start with combined with no one shielding infront. Sanchez is the only player we need stop.

Why didn't he take the pen like this - ?

Him and Azpi have been targeted in games. Cost us against Tottenham and could have today. Players should be judged after more than a hand full of games (best thing around when we first changed formation). There's a distinct difference between good squad players and nailed down starters.

Doing his and Matic's role. I haven't got a clue why Cesc isn't partnering him.

Two points dropped. Only plus is our other rivals didn't take advantage.

Taken Hazard off looks even worse now. Someone will score a winner

Not a great half, but we have a lead thanks to a bit of magic.

Beauty!

Time to knock another rival out of the race.

Not on the bench. Worrying sign IMO.

Go for him in the summer. Talk of a deal today are farcical.

Got a some CL action too.

Getting linked with almost anyone now. Wouldn't be terrible business on loan, but no doubt another Quaresma like deal. Play a handful of games and be on his way.

We wanted him whilst he was at Fulham. I presume Celtic came in really early for him and it was the right decision for his career. They'll make big money when he moves on.

Going after a player we could have gotten for number a matter of months ago.

Guy only played a handful of games in the Portuguese league and somehow warrants that fee. Clubs should wait and see how players progress. We know it's the board doing what they do best around now. Normally spot on with getting good fees for players, but always questionable when it comes to incoming. I expect Aina will be back up should Iva leave. I do agree it's worrying and could backfire if something isn't done in the next 30 hrs. Having said that, win our two next games, and we will be very comfortable.

Porto don't have anyone of note and Benfica will want big money for Semedo. Guedes for £25m+ is an eye opener as it is.

The opportunity to get decent quality has gone. Clubs are going to want stupid money for any Tom, Dick & Harry at this point.

Thought that might be over after he rejected the chance to return unlike Zaza. He could be a good buy, but his recent injury history is a bit worrying.

You would have thought so. A GK, CM and possibly a CF might come in by Tuesday night.

I'm sure he'll be back if Liverpool get their way, but can't imagine what state of mind he'll be in having let his nation down.

We need to make it four defeats on the bounce for them at home and put ourselves in a great position in the biggest week of the season so far.

He ain't going anywhere right now.

We get the third goal at last.
