While Ozil is performing to raise interest, Sanchez has just checked out.

Spurs must absolutely hate Leicester now

This would be my lineup, with Moses replacing Zappacosta for 30 minutes before starting against Newcastle.

I completely forgot Lamela was a Tottenham player. He could play for the first time in over a year tomorrow.

Srsly?

As excited as I was for that goal, I can’t help but think this will end 1-3.

I'd be more worried about fatigue than preparation. Looking at the lineup, I imagine we'll play similar to the way we played against Spurs, though looking at their lineup, Conte may want to attack early to try and make the early statement. However, if that doesn't work, I expect to see us work on carefully moving the ball forward and being quick to recover defensively. It'll give them the bulk of possession, but will hopefully stop the final ball.

It's the first week of November and we're 9 points behind first. Nothing is "gone".

Surprised at the comments. Aside from the last 10 or so minutes, I've enjoyed how the team have played.

Could have gone better? That's so defeatist. We're in the third month of a 9 month season.

Who else? None of the youth players are going to get as start, and Drinkwater still isn't at full fitness from his injury.

The whole federation is a shitshow right now. Time to fire everyone.

Then why tf are you still here?

I had to watch the match after work. Here’s my highlights: First sight I like the kits. Wish it would have been a monochrome crest and no red on the Yokohama Y With everything going on with Costa, I completely forgot about all of the other storylines going on in this match. Hazard was ready to go from the start. Great plays taking on defenders and great link up play with Morata. Nice cross to Morata and a good redirecting header. Too late on subs. Atletico started to gain control as soon as their subs came on. I could tell we were getting tired. And City is on Saturday. Luiz with another ridiculous foul to give away the penalty. Two straight matches with potentially costly outcomes. What a passing play to set up the winning goal! Right at the end of the game! What a result! 100% healthy and on our game, I think we’re one of the 4 best teams in Europe. It’s games like these that I missed last season.

IMO, calling the Lukaku song racist is a little over the top.

Not the same thing as with Torres. Torres was already an effective striker for Liverpool. This is Morata's second month in the Premier League.

He must have a crystal ball shoved up his ass. There's definitely something stuck up there.

Terrorism-linked explosion at the Parsons Green station in London. For those that don't know, that's just one stop away from the Fulham Broadway station.

I looked at the responses, hoping for some inappropriate jokes. All I got were angry idiots.

Already trashing the competition. Arsene, don't you realize that's your best shot at getting into the Champions League next season?

That, or this: Courtois Azpilicueta-Luiz-Cahill Moses-Kante-Bakayoko-Alonso Willian-Morata-Pedro

Arsenal struggle at Stamford Bridge, having lost the last five matches. And they've only won 4 of the last 19 matches officiated by Michael Oliver.

He played as a RWB at Torino and for the national team (which Conte coached). Conte is very familiar with him, and he's very familiar with our style of play.

No way you take the risk of starting him in the Champions League (even if it's Qarabag), but he could definitely have come on in the second half.

I worry he's too aware of this and will try to do much himself and be selfish.
