I wasn't one of those who said he was overrated but since you want to brag here, weren't you one of those who thought Chilwell was overrated? Weren't you the one who claimed to know better than Cole (arguably the best English LB) and Lampard (the manager you defend so steadfastly) when they wanted Chilwell?

I didn't follow his career in Holland to know how he progressed as a player in the Eredivisie but some players blossom later in their career and maybe Ziyech is one of those players. Also, there have been plenty of examples of players joining the Premier League from the Eredivisie and turning out to be flops. That may explain why clubs don't really want to take the risk and sign players from the Eredivisie.

Aston Villa and Everton suddenly don't look all that great. What a shocker...

Werner has 4 goals and 2 assists in his last 5 games.

Alonso is back available for this one after his suspension...

It's fine in the offensive half (obviously) but not in the defensive half.

It's the accumulation of games, fatigue that is the concern. There's a reason why Lampard had him on the bench today to begin with. We should have enough to see off Rennes, even with a little bit of rotation.

Sending a message...

Works harder than Ozil for sure. He just needs to stop losing possession stupidly in our own half...

Kepa kept only 10 clean sheets in 41 games last season. Mendy already has 5 clean sheets in just 6 games.

Havertz's face.

There's always Hudson-Odoi for that LW...

At the risk of jinxing it, the Premier League clubs and players have done well to avoid getting many COVID-19 cases. I don't know how are the protocols in Serie A but there have been many more cases in that league, for example.

What do you think about countries going into lockdown again, Tomo?

At least the international break is coming up...

Was it his left hamstring back then? Looks like his left here? At least he was able to walk off on his own this time...

Pretty sure it will continue? Football is taking place in France despite the lockdown, for example. Clubs already suffering big hit financially from having no fans. Can't afford to suspend the league season...again.

All these countries going into lockdown should mean no international football next month!
