The Skipper

Key passes are defined as passes before any shot. They're misleading and the fact that we apparently have more key passes in the team than Bayern or Madrid (both who score plenty more than us) should tell you that. Apart from Hazard, our attacking trio hasn't been creative enough or decisive enough in the final third. We take the most shots in the EPL but a lot of them are speculative and non threatening. You don't need stats to tell you that.

No, they still have to pay for it via the clubs coffers, so it'll reflect on the official financial report, but UEFA won't count it against them for FFP. How else would they going to improve their FFP situation if they kept getting fined for it?

The fines won't count under FFP, just like how youth academy costs don't count.

Nope, personally I couldn't care about the selfies or the thumbs up or him sticking his tongue out. I'm talking about his passion on the pitch. There were plenty of times last season and even this season (less so because he's obviously played far less) where his passion drove on the team. Luiz has shown the qualities to be a leader on the pitch a lot in his time here. Even JT said in the past that he could see him as future captain here, so you're overstating his "exuberant" personality as the reason why he's appealing as a leader. He's passionate on the pitch. He hasn't been so much this season (even then he's still had his moments) but that doesn't mean you can suddenly discard everything else in the past.

No, everyone accepts that we 100% need a top striker. Hell, if we had one this season we probably would've won the league because a top class striker will win you games on their own. The difference is though that our system would still not be complete, it isn't the only problem with our system. We're still too slow transitioning from defence to attack and we isolate our most creative forward too much. Even if we did have a top class striker we'd still struggle to feed him and Hazard the ball in good positions. A left back that'll effectively overlap Hazard and that has the ability to cause havoc in the final third and a creative CM that can pull the strings and change the pace of our play from the back is what we need as well.

I wouldn't say he's clueless, just extremely naive. He should've shut up shop after the first goal but because of his naivety Liverpool suffered. Atrocious from him really.

Falcao? Falcao is not an Aguero or Suarez type of striker at all. Costa is better at Falcao in short spaces and linking up play IMO.

Not necessarily. If we won yesterday we would be level on points with Liverpool... And anything can happen on the final day. Man City can still slip up in their final two games this season. It still wouldn't make us favourites or anything but the hope would've been there still.

Ugh... Makes the Norwich draw even more annoying now.

Solanke is the complete forward. His hold up play, his creativity (flick assist for Musonda penalty earlier in the game was class) and his finishing are top notch. Add to that his physical attributes (pace, height, balance, quite agile)... Probably my favourite player in the youth. Great game. On another note, that Patrick Roberts kid for Fulham is class, has to be said.

Both goalkeepers have been very poor IMO.

Come on!!!

Inzaghi was a pure poacher who had an excellent finish and was always in the right positions at the right time, whilst Suarez is a dribbler, needs the ball at feet, can play at either flanks or behind the main striker etc. Completely different type of strikers.

Inzaghi and Suarez are the polar opposite of each other as a player...

Kasey Palmer has been poor.

Poor defending but Beeney again should do better there... Letting in too many easy goals.

It'll just go to penalties.

Great goal from the Fulham lad must be said. Excellent game.

Yeah, as it stands right now it's going to ET.

Those possession stats are incorrect. Here's the right table for you. We're 8th in the league: Also, the chance creation stat is very, very misleading. It's definition: So basically, any shot at goal is considered a "chance created", and we all know that a lot of the shots we've had this season were speculative/long range. Not real quality selected shots.

Come on lads!

No away goal rules, so we need another goal to get it to extra time.

ITV 4 pal.

Love Solanke. What a flick on that was.

Is Kiwomya injured or something?
