Best game for us in some time. More importantly, he never took it too far after the yellow card he received which is a welcomed change. On the flip side, if curses hurt, he would have been screaming in agony from the abuse I directed at him when decided to go down without contact instead of try to score into the empty net when Fabianski came out and Eden almost beat him to the ball.

Composure, composure, composure...

STOP MISSING CHANCES FFS!

Bring Michy on. We NEED to go for the win even if we risk loosing.

Haha Well that's Luiz's starting space secured!

Take Costa off for Batshuayi. We're in control, we don't need to go down to 10.

Movement. Off the ball runs. Other than that, you're probably right on all counts.

Seriously, when Diego gets the ball on the wing, everyone should just get back to defense. He's going to get dispossessed. I have never seen a different end to that scenario.

Should have had at least 3 so far... In other yellow card related news, Costa is one away from a one-match suspension. We're in the first match of September....

Fer is going to keep getting away with those fouls for the whole 90 mins, isn't he?

LOL Kante

Get in Diego! Excellent ball control and awareness from Oscar.

We usually struggle in matches right after the international breaks. They've had 2 weeks to perfect their tactics and their players will be fresher than most of ours. Must not get complacent here. Expecting the geezer but not Alonso to start.

Fucking hell, we operate like a mafia!

Back at Chelsea apparently.

Music to my ears.

Injured. I think the point about Bertrand is that he was UNDOUBTEDLY better than any option we had at the time and arguably still till now.

Bertrand was the best LB in the league the season before last.

It actually feels very weird considering that for years we had to watch Frank hit the wall 99% of the time

Honestly, he's got a slight shot at making it here as a LB. None whatsoever in central midfield. I hope I'm wrong but he's basically saying he doesn't see his future here if he is insisting on playing in midfield.

Nah, I'll cheer Jose to beat Pep any day of the week unless Chelsea are directly affected by it. Draw is obviously best for us but it's still way too early to make any significant difference. Also, who the fuck decided that it would be a good idea to put an international break at the start of September. Damn it, after that incredible deadline day I want to see some bloody football!

Well, for me the only way I could donate is if you accept VISA.

@Jim, the problem with donating, for me at least, is that you only accept Paypal. Paypal is not available in many places in the world, including here in Lebanon.

Great to hear from you. Hope you get well soon

At what is Ramos 'miles superior'?
