I just did a research by watching all highlights this season.
23 from 62 goals we conceded this season are from set pieces.
37%!
And saying that height is the reason is complete bulllshit.
After set pieces we conceded goals from: Firmino 181cm, Ndidi 181cm, Rodrigo 180cm, Lerma 179cm...
And journalists still have not asked Frank about Jorgi?
It is Giroud from August to February all over. Frank is going to be the last one to realize what needs to be done...
But with Kova out and Kante playing 4 games in 10 days I hope we see him tomorrow.
We got over 15m euros for two Zouma loans (Everton and Stoke).
Two year loan Kepa to Valencia 15m. Plus they pay at least 50% of his salaries. This is 25m saved.
After this period he still has 3 years left on contract so if he does good in Valencia we can sell him for big money or take him back.

Can't see your reasoning.
We wanted close to 200m for Hazard summer before.
When players have one year left on contract their price is usually 50% cheaper.
Courtois left us for 30-35m after great World Cup. If he had more on contract he would cost around 70m surely.
Sane was quoted 100m one year ago.
You think players have the same price with 2,3,4 and 1 year left on contract?
Dortmund wants 100-120m for him now. So next summer it will be 60-70m max by this logic no doubt.
In the season 05-06 when we won the league we lost 3:0 to Middlesbrough.
In 99-00 when UTD won the league and become World champion we beat them 0:5.
FFS Liverpool lost 4:0 last night.
CL spot is all that matters now and a couple of horrid displays will be forgotten very soon.
And we had 5 wins in a row ( we won against 3 top teams at the table in this period) before losing to WH.
It is just one match. We can easily go on winning run again.
About CL place I am not worrying because I expect Leicester to lose a least half of possible 18 points left. Did you see their schedule? And form? So we can lose 1 game and have two draws and we would still finish above them.
Wolves and UTD would overtake us but who cares. 5th place gets you CL.
