Giroud links up our attack so well

And that prick has been talking about Madrid.

Why are their fans booing the champions league anthem? They have always got all the calls from the refs. UEFALONA.

Jesus christ we are fucked if we don't put a lot of help on that side.

Costa was the 2nd best Striker in the league though, and his heroics last season are a MAJOR reason why we won the league. You have to be able to tolerate the eccentricities of the best players. Selling him to replace with a guy on the level of Morata was a huge downgrade.

How lucky are we that Sterling and Jesus were out when they played us last week? Didnt matter, but still....

Proper display leading the line today. I didnt want him here when we were linked with him because I didnt feel he would give Morata proper competition. Boy was I wrong. Hopefully he presses on. Need him to be big now that Morata stupidly got suspended. All we have really.

Crazy to think he turns 26 this year. He plays, and acts, like a spoiled teenaged superstar.

I like the way the linesmen stared at the flag, and then up at him.

The game was over as soon as Giroud was subbed off.

This would be a draw if the ref didnt save us on that Soreaf goal. Poor performance in the end.

Can't stand this shit. Every game It was annoying with Costa, but at least he would score and influence the game. Morata has been invisible since coming on, and only became visible to get a card. If Giroud doesnt start in Spain there should be a revolt.

And the Morata Yellow card. Just another performance.

Surprise surprise. Morata comes on and we cant hold the ball.

That pass by Willian there is the pass of the day.

Has giroud done enough to earn a start vs Barcelona?

Time to rest Willian. Cant afford him getting hurt.

Willian Beast mode.

Why didnt Zaha start? Their best player by far.

Willian is world class

Christensen looks to be buying his own hype now.

Giroud should be a starter if only for his amazing link up play with Hazard and Willian.

Rest Willian and Hazard at halftime. Keep them fresh for midweek.

King Willian.

But these people not wanting us to stop sacking managers are never a prominent voice in the trophy winning threads though. It isnt a knee jerk reaction, just a matter of context of the present. Looking at the strength Lukaku shows against defenders, and then commenting its better than Morata isnt knees jerk. Its a reaction at the fact that under the same circumstances Morata would be on the ground looking at the ref begging for something. Its not just the two games. Conte isnt even playing Morata anymore, and when we were down against City he had Morata ready to come and on and then told him to put his jacket back on before giving him 2 minutes of garbage time. When He's in form you can ignore the defects, when he isnt its easy to speak on them
