Stoke always play like that. They don't want to open themselves up or risk getting caught so they sit back, stack up their own box and pressurize only in their own third. They invite pressure and play on counter attacks.

Thank god for Walters, I don't want to think how the game would have panned out if he hadn't nicked it in the dying seconds of 1st half. They were flying close up until that and I didn't have a good feeling. 2nd half different story. Thank you, Walt.

Many have potential, but realistically speaking I think only Josh and Piazon have the chance to break through. Maybe Chalobah too, but naming 3 names is already overly optimistic.

What will our homegrown situation look like once we let go of Lamps, Cole and now that we have let Sturridge go? Does Moses count as HG?

Wow, lmao Judging by that I'm pretty sure Real or Barca are gonna win the CL this season.

I can't believe people are even seriously discussing this penalty thing, it's pathetic.

So Hazard made that assist to Ba's second? Till now I thought it was Dave, but doesn't matter. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Ba play, there was no indication that he'd been in the club for only half a day. Got on the end of a few crosses, held the ball up well for the 2nd and made a striker's run to receive the pass while finishing it confidently. He seemed to genuinely enjoy playing. My biggest delight though was Frank scoring yet again. If he leaves, I hope he leaves with a bang.

I'm honoured by your words, you make me feel special, just like my mum. In that case I'm gonna start building a DeLorean, meet you 20 years ago

Big respect to Redknapp

A reasonably priced striker who can hopefully get the job done, I approve. He will add another option to our team, bringing aerial presence and strength with him. Now our crosses and long balls will actually be meaningful.

Wow, thanks for the mention, ma'am :tophat: But I'm curious, what made you nominate me? Even I have to admit it's been one of my most inactive months in recent times.

How do you know that?

No

What's this? We lost to a team who'd won only once before? Ain't that a surprise.

This might have been the last goal he scored for us

8-2, not 8-0

When's the last time Arsenal, Liverpool or Man United scored 8 or more unanswered goals in the league?

But they're not exact same topics. This one is about the falcon, edi and huntelaar while yours would be 1/3 different, replacing huntelaar with lewandowski.

Yeah, I remember that one, it was out of this world too.

Haven't said it was average. Do you have anything to back that claim? I would call it brilliant if 8 out of 10 players wouldn't even attempt that, let alone pull it off.

It was good and what you would expect from a professional footballer. I wouldn't call it brilliant though, but it was well executed can't argue with that. This is a brilliant pass, something that catches the defense off guard:

I'm sorry to be the party pooper but what was so brilliant about it? I don't get it. Hazard was on a deserted island and not passing would have been criminal. Any amateur player would have seen that pass.

Was trying to like a post by tapping the heart icon but it redirected me to the poster's profile. On mobile that is.
