A myth that many of his former players would disagree with. He is happy to point fingers at the players and everybody else but himself.

Fabregas, the best passer I have seen at this club, but take nothing away from Costa - many of those outstanding passes he still had work to do to get the goals, often times he did it brilliantly. Tammy, with prime Hazard and Fabregas, would have quite a few more goals I reckon.

Glad to have the big man back, feel a bit more secure with him there versus Christensen.

It was the formation I hoped he would play. When we used it we played well and were more solid defensively, obviously. Would like to see it employed more often especially against strong teams.

Mourinho probably didn't expect a 3-4-3, when's the last time we played it? September, October? Caught him by surprise.

That felt great, against the odds. Big props to the boys on the pitch. Judging by his performance, Willian really does hate Tottenham

WILLIAN, HE HATES TOTTENHAM!!

That is sa fucking penalty come on VAR

Helps him adapt and connect with teammates quicker.

Isco would be a welcome addition to our squad imo, an improvement on Barkley for sure. Brings winning experience that this team's lacking. Does he speak English?

Loved that Willian part

The first three have little to nothing to do with Marina, players and coaches bailed her out on those. We have been quite lucky and overachieving this past decade if I think about it, in quite a few seasons things could have gone very differently very easily, which would have dramatically impacted the club's finances and stature. But somehow the team always managed to stay afloat despite all the unfavourable circumstances we've faced, even now.. this has kept the club from becoming Arsenal. It's time for the board to step up and start doing favours back for the team.

What about Werner's situation? Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Werner plays in Leipzig, what do you mean the RC is for them? Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Hmm, isn't it so that if a club meets the release clause, that club can already negotiate a contract with the player? So in theory all interested clubs would only need to submit the exact fee in the clause, which then allows opening contract negotiations and then the player will ultimately decide who's offer to take. Why would anybody need to bid higher if the outcome is the same? Or does he mean that by the time he is on the move, his release clause will have risen?

No way in hell Marina pays that amount for fucking Zaha, she is notorious for penny pinching for far better players. Just not gonna happen. 40-45 mill is the highest I can see her go tbf and Palace will ultimately take that and run.

£80m? Big fat NO Enough of inflating the market of mediocre players with silly purchases like this. 20 mill player, add on the stupid prices tax and he's probably closer to between £30-40m.

Werner for me is the dream signing of next summer. Do I realistically believe it will happen? No, there will be too many more appealing buyers. The slim chance we do have of signing him would evaporate if we miss out on CL footie next season.

He has scored 3 goals this term in 1465 mins, that's 1 goal every 5.4 full games. Not good enough for a supposed striker option, even as a backup over Giroud or Michy would be going sideways (perhaps an upgrade on Giroud as he doesn't fit our style at all). I wouldn't consider him an automatic upgrade over Willian either, both lack in end product (something we REALLY don't need any more of), but Willian's overall play is better. If he does sign, the hope is that he will blow up in a new club and get a little push from Lampard to improve. But if the money involved is too high, then forget him and move on to other targets

That's horrible... Who controls the information, controls the people.

It was his 2nd game after being out all season...

You know I'm not British but I have a bit of interest in foreign politics and I can't understand how people can support Johnson so overwhelmingly... Same with Trump in America. How are people so influenced by cheap populism I will never understand, there is a severe general lack of intelligence among people... Not to say that I am intelligent or anything, but come on... their shenanigans are so painfully obvious, zero sincerity.

He is going for the pillars of NATO and EU - USA and UK. Once they have been irreparably damaged, their allies will fall in a domino effect - that I believe is the ultimate goal. Robert Mueller said Russians are coming back to meddle in the next elections as well, and they don't do it only in the States, they do it in a lot places... As an Estonian, I will be terrified if Trump gets re-elected.

I don't know, to me it looks like Zouma has improved quite considerably at that throughout the season. At the beginning of the season he was clearly instructed to play it short and safe, but yesterday his long diagonals made me think it was Rüdiger giving them. Has also become more adventurous and confident with his passing... This version of Zouma is far from the worst on the ball I have seen (partly because I follow Estonian NT ) I incline to agree with Didierblue here, out of those three, purely from defensive standpoint, I would pick Zouma ahead of them. There is a reason why he's been constantly picked by Lampard and others rotated.

Try explaining their agents that there is a 50-50 chance their client will be mostly playing low profile games. However if we throw money at them, then sure. If we did get both though I'd be over the moon. I think our best bet is to keep Emerson as backup and competition to whoever new LB will be, he is good enough for that. Alonso is a goner though, thank fuck. Good to see Lamps isn't doing an Ivanovic with him.
