Or he sorts out his feet! If his feet is as good as his head, he would have scored at least 15 goals by now. Has missed so many clear chances because he couldn't sort out his feet or tries to over-complicate the finish.

His technique and general play are good but just think he lacks that ruthlessness and robustness. If only we could merge him and Costa together, we would have the ideal striker.

Well, we have scored only 3 less than Arsenal and Liverpool and have conceded far less than them. 7 less than United but they were boosted by their early season form. As for City, well, never mind... EDIT: Sad case but also gotta remember that we don't have as many goalscorers as the other sides. Our top 5 scorers in the league are Morata (8), Alonso (3), Hazard (3), Batshuayi (2) and Pedro (2). That says a lot, doesn't it?

Really don't get Morata at the moment. One game, he plays like a prime Drogba - e.g. against United - and the next, he plays like Torres.

Yes but after we got the goal, we suddenly retreated into our shells. Could and should have gone for the kill.

Erm, top 6 or big 6? We've scored more than Burnley and Spurs. Have the third best defence in the league, mind you.

Weren't you the one who thought Butland was overrated?

Butland? Wonder how would @Tomo react to that...

Do we need 3 midfielders for this game though? Swansea will no doubt sit back and defend and would be better to revert to 3-4-3.

No need to complicate his development by starting to change his position. If we're going to put a defender further forward, it'll be Luiz.

Indeed. https://www.transfermarkt.com/ryan-bertrand/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/40611/plus/0?saison=2011&verein=631&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=

Second that. Can play in midfield too. Guerreiro and Pulisic are the two players I would gladly take from Dortmund.

One decent cross isn't going to cut it, is it? It's utterly ridiculous that we play a back 3 system with braindead wing backs. Zappacosta/Alonso/Moses all lack the key qualities to really maximize the position and in this system.

There should be a trophy for the team who finish second this season. Can't fault City but they (and Lady Luck) are making the title race this season extremely dull.

With things getting tighter at the top these days, we certainly can't afford to be dropping silly points against the lesser sides. To put this into some context - last season, we dropped 21 points and 7 of those came against non-big 6 sides (Swansea, Burnley and Palace). This season, of the 13 points we've dropped, 6 have come against non-big 6 sides (Burnley and Palace). No doubt that number will increase between now and end of the season.

What does the fee have to do with Bakayoko's passing? As you alluded to, he's only 23 and there's still plenty of room for improvement. On top of that, passing is an attribute that can be improved on over time. It's not like pace or speed. Worth remembering that Kante was hardly great with his passing either when he joined us but after 1 1/2 years of emphasis and work with Conte, he's gotten better at it.

Discussing a more subjective issue like players' performances is less annoying...

Problem is, he gets himself into good positions but after that, he just suffers brainfarts. There were talks about him capable of delivering good crosses but we haven't seen any so far.

Oops! My bad. Thought you were talking about Hazard.

His contract expires in 2020. I get that but mentioning it once is fine. To keep on doing every single time is fucking annoying.

I get that Hazard deserves and should be playing with better quality players but why on earth do people have to keep on bringing this up EVERY SINGLE TIME after we don't win a big game?! Christ!

WHY DID HE TRY TO GO FOR THE RABONA THERE?!

Some times I wonder if people actually even watch our games. It's as if they just look at the result and depending on what it is, take up lazy narratives.
