Agree with the general point but players can lose the ball, sometimes easily. There were other instances yesterday where Pulisic dribbled past challenges without turnovers, among other positives.

Bayern will probably still win it but the Bundesliga is a bit crazy right now. The top 9 separated by just 2 points! David Wagner's (remember him?) Schalke can go top on Sunday.

Azpi picked up a knock towards the end of the game apparently but nothing serious, according to Lampard.

No one has asked Lampard about Pedro.

Deep into stoppage time and our other American player did this for Reading...

Real Madrid lost in La Liga tonight...

It would be crazy if they do it again. They're outperforming their xG at the moment, according to the stats pieces.

That's the English media for you.

Martial has been at United for years now and he has been largely inconsistent. The mess at United probably hasn't helped but he turns 24 in December. If he's going to fulfill his potential, you would think he's got to start doing so very soon. Otherwise, he'll just fall by the wayside.

Lampard recently hired a Strength and Conditioning coach. IIRC, Sarri didn't bother with the gym work stuff last season.

The manner he picked his yellow was so silly. It looked like he was getting riled up by the Newcastle fans but thankfully, he kept his cool.

Perhaps but that's another debate. It was just so painful watching Alonso in snail-mode today.

Should have scored the second chance but decided to pass the ball to Abraham, who was actually asking for it. Oh well, his first goal wait goes on... Think Lampard didn't want to risk playing Kovacic after he took that heavy knock against Wales. But thank god, he played well after coming on.

STOP QUOTING ME ON PULISIC!

Indeed. Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Gallagher, Gilmour, maybe even Ampadu. Oh the number of options and that's without even mentioning the senior players!

Turned his ankle and hence, the sub today, according to Lampard. Will be assessed tomorrow.

Not sure that's a good comparison.

I just talking about the speed of play in general. Put someone like a peak Marcelo at LB and our attacking play down that side would look completely different.

Do note that this is an EARLY KICK OFF for us...

Another lively performance. He's scored and/or assisted in every game since his return.

Our future midfield is gonna be STACKED!

Admittedly, it was only for the last few minutes but nice to see Lampard isn't afraid to make pragmatic sub with the James sub against Newcastle, especially after the Gilmour one against Sheffield. Think it was Tomo who mentioned this but nice to see Lampard learns from mistakes fast and finds ways to come up with a solution
