Still shambolic, but great work from our players to position themselves and combine to exploit that disorganisation.

I must say that was amateurish defending from Atletico for that goal. The way nobody paid any attention to Bakayoko and Alonso, and the way three players retrospectively went after Alonso leaving the middle so exposed will give Simeone a sore throat towards some players.

His heading ability is just sublime. Such a big plus to have a striker who can pull off headers like this. It makes us so much more dangerous on crosses, something we lacked before.

Your post is all good and well, but as you quoted me too, then the only thing I disagree with was your claim that Costa "gave everything". You don't have to look much further than this summer where he refused to return to the club while still under contract and deliberately tried to bring his price down with his media appearances and force Chelsea's hand, costing us money. Maybe you don't count that, but I do, because at that point he was still a Chelsea player acting against us. And even then, if we talk about football, he stopped giving his all after that January debacle. He could have helped our cause much better if he had cared as much as he did before. He may not have had the same motivation because now it's known he was aware in January he will be sold, but the fact remains that he stopped giving his all.

Need to shore up midfield with 3-5-2. Tibo Azpi - Luiz - Rüdiger Zap - Kante - Bakayoko - Alonso Cesc Morata - Hazard

Pogba's hair is on fire. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4921646/Manchester-United-star-Paul-Pogba-debuts-new-hairstyle.html

"Unfortunately, the pre-season tour of North Korea would be off the table " What? We have a tour planned in N-Korea?

So Drinkwater has recovered?

Disagree. He didn't in the last half a year and in 15/16. Actually he took something away with his petulant tantrums this summer.

All hail Cesar! This should read on his banner.

Brought on to protect Alonso I felt as he was on a yellow. Now can we stop taking jibes at Conte for playing Gary? He dropped GC and rightfully so, we looked much better without him. His inclusion against Arsenal was questionable, but two below-par performances after his suspension will make any manager scratch their heads and Conte is no Mourinho with this untouchables bullshit.

What a beastly performance that was. Could have had 5! But I'll take 3, and what amazing goals they were - especially the first 2, the last one was a classic poacher which also needs to be done. Both our strikers now scored hattricks in consecutive games, we're good to go

Where is @BlueLion. with one of his "joke going over head" gifs when you need him?

Come on he wasn't that bad, lower your expectations.

Rüdiger needs to start. Sick passing range and so much better on the ball than Cahill, much faster too. Bakayoko is a beast in the making, pairing him with Kante will be a sight to see. Both are exceptional ball-winners, one of them quick and clever and the other a strong powerhouse. Both being French too will add to their chemistry. Musonda is very talented and very determined, natural on the ball. Opponents had to foul him like they normally foul Hazard. I like him and think he could have a bright future if he plays his cards right. Pedro and Willian are not getting any younger, if he's patient enough, he might just make it here. Didn't see anything special in that Ampadu kid, didn't influence the game enough and every ambitious pass he tried failed.

Very good, one of the man of the match candidates.

Superb stream! 720p HD http://www.genti.stream/hd/hd3.php

He will move only to be the main striker. Unless we start playing with 2 strikers, and there are no signs whatsoever that we ever will, then how do you fit both him and Morata in the same team?

How do they know the song has anything to do with his race? White men can't have bellends reaching their toes? On the contrary - them automatically concluding that it's about his race, is racist.

I remember last season there were talks about us being punished for bad discipline record, but Conte said that this team wasn't the same as before and that it would be unjust. If this carries on, is it possible we will get points deducted?

RLC was actually in the academy since he was 8 or so. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

What did he say? All I can see "media cannot be played".

Fixed.

So? That has nothing to do with the academy.

Meltdown season has begun early this time I see.
