No he is ineligible which is a shame for him.

Worst mentality to have.

Full agree with everything you have said bar the TV coverage. This was selected in January for TV coverage. Before they knew that things would get this bad or Roman would be sanctioned. And they would never change a game to be covered once it has been selected. But yeah now it is on selection, expect a whole hour of Chelsea off the field drama.

This season he has been immense. Goal record is crazy. But done it on real stage tonight. Has pace to burn and extreme strength and trickery.

Vinicius is the real deal. Second half he was unstoppable. Only 21. Not as good as him but certainly will be in same bracket as Mbappe soon imo.

They will attract real quality if they get top 4, but dealing with Champions League in midweek then PL 3/4 days after is a challenge also. They have benefited from having no Europe this season.

Had to scrap for that. RLC and Mount were our best players on the night. Mount was involved in everything. Werner improved second half and got a goal and assist. James provided much more solidarity, muscle and composure when he came on. Bring on next round.

What a fucking goal he just scored 👏

Richarlison looked level. Crazy decision. City got away with it a few times now from VAR. Southampton 0-0 game at City. Arsenal 1-2 game at Emirates. Now tonight.... sure there is probably more.

Brilliant performance. Top header he scored also. Worked his socks off, his pressing as well as his all round play was brilliant. I hope this move gives Lukaku a nudge and motivates him to step his game up and makes him realise what his replacement did tonight, is what he should be doing a lot more for us. His acceleration off the ball or in counter attacking situations is really impressive.

What is up with CHO?

He was always fit. He was never in doubt. Same formation we used against Spurs when we beat them 2-o in the first leg of Carabao cup. Ziyech will be used in same way I guess from RWB to switching to RW.

Where did you hear that from? I haven't heard anything about him missing today.

If anything, the games will be less attacking. When the away goals was there, it encouraged teams away from home to pick up that vital away goal, while now there is not that incentive. I mean look at Madrid for the whole game last night. They rarely got out their own half and seemed to just play for the draw. In terms of fairness, the away goals removal makes sense, but excitement levels, the games will not be as entertaining now. Especially if this game was anything to go by.

No chance. They tried getting Abraham off us and we were very reluctant to sell him there and we managed to convince Abraham to move to Roma. I am relieved they did not get Abraham as that is where he wanted to go initially. Broja's on a long term contract, so we hopefully will never entertain this. Let's offer them Batshuayi instead

He is a really good CB tbh. He is good on the air, good on the ball and while not the fastest, is not a slouch. Even he scored the equalizer against us, he was the best player on the pitch beside that.

Where is the urgency??? It is 1-1 not 1-0. Wake up.

Brilliant again. The only thing lacking was a goal. Should have scored that chance when he skipped past Maguire. Varane is one of the fastest CB in football and he went past him like he wasn't there. MOTM for me. Top game. Won his aerial battles also. All in all. Top all rounded striker.

Minamino and Origi are decent back ups and there goal tally would be good if they started often. Our attacking numbers make horrible reading and for me we can continue to buy attackers but we need to work on attacking phase as it will be deja-vu all over again.

Wow, I hope you don't own any cats... otherwise I worry for them.

Was an absolute handful again. Scored but could of had a hattrick, but his pace tormented the Spurs defence. Another impressive outing. Amount of progress is evident when you realise that he started of from not getting a game, apart from up games then being brought on as a sub to now undisputed starter.

All this happy, Mr nice guy is just a total facade. Shows you can never judge a book by it's cover. And the fact his brother or whoever posted that and puts laughing emoji's as it is some joke. Don't buy his comment that it was an isolated incident. Ambassador for big cats my ass. Waste of space.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/feb/06/overmars-ashamed-after-quitting-ajax-over-inappropriate-messages Silly boy. Think he really was over Mars with this one...

Maybe I am clutching at straws but the pitch is not as big as Emirates and a lot of the times the attackers just don't seem to have the space to channel down the wing and beat a man constantly. Just looks relatively small when I compare it to other grounds.

Jota looks ten times player that Jota does now and at the time we bought Werner and they bought Jota, who would have thought so? Havertz was getting into double figures 2 or maybe 3 seasons running at Leverkusen on and when we bought him, it was seen as a real coup because we were one of only teams who could afford him and he would of played a lot football and any teams in the league. Ziyech, the Ajax player too, these were players with top stats. But now, looks shadow of his former self, even though he has improved in recent weeks. Lukaku, I know people had doubts before the move but again a prolific scorer at most teams he is and now utter shit at us... Pulisic under Lamps looked for a while a top player and now inconsistent. I actually think if Jota came here, he would be in similar predicament. Pitch is not too big as well compared to likes of Etihad and Emirates I am sure, and always thought does this maybe affect the way our wingers aren't able to influence games as much. We can buy players but again will they just fall into a system where they struggle to impact.. possibly. They were poor today but I struggle to believe all these players have turned bad overnight. It is not just one attacker, all our attackers return is shit. Mount has a decent return but again, the goals has fallen off for him also.
