Jase

I'd presume he still has a property in London from his time with us, so it would make more sense. Don't think he would be London-sick like Mourinho was at Man United. Depends on which mess he would like to take. Could end up having Ancelotti vs Lampard later this month!

Has also been linked to Everton.

Napoli have sacked Ancelotti!

And Gary Neville's goal-gasm to go with it!

Zaha signing incoming! Gonna be interesting to see his reaction if that turns out to be the case.

Maybe I'm being harsh but in CHO's case, he needs to pick up his form. Pulisic can't be doing everything on the LW this season. May need to rotate with Willian as well. We're gonna need CHO to contribute. For Loftus-Cheek, I agree and luckily, we've enough cover in midfield.

Facing Leipzig will be kinda fun. Two young managers going head-to-head, even though Nagelsmann has more top flight experience than Lampard.

The 7-2 was a bit of a freak result, TBF. All their shots practically ended up in goals towards the end.

Loan? Are you Canada's version of @Sir Mikel OBE?

So, what kind of tactical master-plan will Eddie Howe come up with for this one? He's always been able to set his side up to frustrate us the at Bridge, despite losing some of the games. On the team news front, however, their entire back 4 is out injured at the moment (according to what I read on Monday) and Josh King & Callum Wilson are also injured.

Thought we eased off a bit in the second half, TBH. Think Lampard was looking ahead to the Bournemouth game, hence why he took Pulisic off early and Abraham shortly after that. In theory, CHO should have been able to keep Lille's defence on their toes but sadly, he didn't do much and was somewhat predictable.

HAD BARKLEY NOT...

The back 4 played solidly today, if we're being honest. Gave nothing away until that silly goal happened. Midfield hardly covered themselves in glory with all that space given to Remy.

Did we give a new contract to his brother or something?

Have you not been watching our defence?

Okay but what about the space that Remy was left in?

It's all ifs and buts but had Barkley not fucked up that penalty against Valencia, we could be waiting to face one of these teams instead... Real Madrid Shakhtar/Dinamo Zagreb/Atalanta Atletico/Leverkusen Napoli Dortmund Lyon

Bayern's attacking players can be a little scary, especially Lewandowski (obviously) but their defence can certainly be gotten at. Susceptible to pace.

Ajax really fucked it up with that 4-4 draw.

I'd need to see the goal again but not every cross can be prevented. And no one is gonna mention how much space Remy was in inside our box!?

We will face someone from this list in UCL R16: PSG Bayern Munich Juventus Barcelona RB Leipzig Can't face domestic rivals in 1st KO round, so Liverpool & Man City out of the equation. R16 draw will take place next Monday, Dec 16.

OUT OF FUCKING NOTHING!!!
