Nothing sells newspapers like fear. Let's all go to the Winchester...

Give credit where due: he was immense today.

Possibly his best game for us in 15 months or so, since that good spell under Sarri.

Spurs back to being our bitches, you love to see it. Let's not overanalyse today. We were fucking brilliant for the first 65 minutes. The red card VAR incident affected our concentration. Sloppy last 20/25 minutes. Barkley and Christensen absolutely fantastic today. Giroud has to start, I've been saying it for a little while now. The obvious difference between him and Tammy will reduce in time, but we're in a rut and sometimes you need to go back to experience.

Great goal, almost scored a worldie free-kick, but let's not forget the fact he was pretty abject defensively. He just gets away with it more in a 5-2-3 because one of the three CBs can save his ass.

Consummate professional, been shafted by Lampard. Should be our regular starter in my humble opinion. He brings the best out of everyone with his selfless hold-up play. HAS to start against Spurs.

Looks like we never did get the ban overturned

If we don't lose, it'll be a fucking miracle.

I said it because I thought he was shit. That's my opinion. He also looked bang average against Championship opposition yesterday, but I'm not allowed to speak because he's young and he's English; I don't want to get tarred as a hater (please appreciate the irony of this statement, as, honey, I frankly don't care). I just don't view the world through rose-tinted spectacles like most on here do.

Tammy is one player who doesn't deserve any shit from yesterday. We scored both goals because of him - let's not forget he won the corner for Cesar's goal.

I do think Lampard needs to go back to experience while we are in this rut - can the likes of Oli and Pedro really be any worse than what CHO/Mount and Tammy are producing at present?

I think we all have to write this season off, on the condition the youth continue to be developed and Frank continues to learn. It doesn't make it any less frustrating though, because, let's be honest, are we really any worse than the 4th-best team in the league? I think we should be comfortably top 4 by this juncture.

He gets a free ride this season because of the transfer ban. Blind loyalty means we're not allowed to speak out.

I love the bloke, but he's here 5-10 years too soon. And he's being exposed for it.

Absolutely. There is no leadership, either on or off the pitch. Identityless and clueless as a team.
