Sideshow Luiz

I think I've been hearing that Allegri to Arsenal is almost locked down.

Disgraceful performance.

Away fans deserve a refund. Feel for them.

I'm not that upset about missing out on CL. If we were in transition and could see progress being made, attractive football at the least, okay. It's the spineless nature of this squad that pisses me off. Fall short, okay, I can handle that, if you're giving your all. Going out like this.....absolute bullshit.

Which team are the defending champs fighting for a top 4 finish and which is the team that was promoted this season and has fuck all to play for?

Can't wait for the Nike deal to kick in so we can announce our big signings.

De Rossi would be my guess. 117 caps.

I think those touches are a bit misleading. Napoli like to play it back and forth between 2 players, even when not under direct pressure. Not saying he isn't good, but those touches and passes are inflated. Beyond the stats, he totally passes the eye test.

Okay. It wasn't our strongest squad. But the team that was selected should have been enough. Rotation looks like a bad decision based on the result. But, 10 out of 11 of the starting line-up would be first name on the team sheet for Huddersfield. Unfortunately, the 11th out of 11 is Caballero. And, well.......

I feel the same as I did 2 seasons ago. I'm actually okay with no CL football. Well, of course I wish we were in it, but I'm not devastated. The Mourinho DNA in this team brought us a lot of trophies, but it's also the reason why we revert back to type when our backs are agains the wall. Pragmatic football. I'm okay with missing out on trophies for the next little bit (will probably happen anyway considering that we don't spend in the market right now), so now's really the time to bring in someone who wants to play attacking football. I've really got my eggs in the Sarri basket.

Conte's final game at Stamford Bridge? Too little, too late.

The ball is just not going in.

Wow. WTF was that?

0 movement off the ball. Pass-stand-pass-stand-pass-dribble out of trouble (backwards).

Kante!!! So good. Then he goes and wins that header against Billing (6ft3)!

This match will be nervy. Huddersfield need a result. Our matches against Southampton and Swansea recently were terrible. I'd expect this to be troublesome as well.

Yeah, I had to re-read that headline on the main page. 9/10? Really? Does everyone get a 9 then? He wasn't a passenger today. Stole the ball once.

Turn a profit on him. That's so funny.

I'm just trying to stay a bit grounded. I'd really like this signing. Honestly, with the troubles we've had in 2 of the last 3 seasons, in the end, it's not so bad, but I want to see some fire in the squad and it would be nice to see some pro-active football for a change. I could live with the results, if there was something even half enjoyable on the pitch. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much.

If we want to play Sarri-ball, we will need some players with technique. No more stopping the play and putting your foot on the ball, either.

Is this tweet suggesting that the whole Napoli football club eat there, and they have spilled the beans (to him) that Sarri has signed? Seems a bit "Coutois' dad" (ie, a little bullshit).

He's got grandkids there, after all. Apparently.

I think the 3-5-2 against Swansea was practice for this match. Sit deep and don't turn the ball over in our own half. Play on the counter.

CB is the least of our concerns. Don't really need any more numbers back there unless we are selling Zouma.
