Way off the pace today, and it was their make or break day. We can't just blame the international break or injuries, sheer cantbearsedness about the team today and Palarse were good too
I remember him being the first new signing I saw.and it was weird seeing a new name on the programme line up joining bonetti, Harris, Mcreadie etc. He cost a fortune as well £100 000.
Did well at Palace as well....
Yeah saw both play - his book is 1p. But look at the cover its shocking !

Trivia - played for both teams.....
Phillips, Mulligan, Cundy, Wicks, Granville, Bason, Cooke, Nicholas, Hopkin, Tambling, Forssell, Moses, Droy....
Feel free to add if anyone knows any more
To me he's adaptable enough to switch roles, him and azpi, can send long productive balls from the back. but are equally productive further up if the back 3 are solid enough
My view, (these are just our opinions folks) -One thing I think from this week is - if we are going to play 3 in CM, then I quite fancy the idea of a back 3 of Azpi, Christensen and Rudi with Luiz moving in to midfield alongside Kante and Bakayoko.
Yup him and Luiz have to be the first two choices out of the back 3. I think we would have 3 points today if Luiz was marshalling the defence - but hey, let's move on. Citeh will drop points against teams like the yids, etc
Reality is they have an embarrassment of riches and squad depth, just as we had in 2004-5, 2006-7.
Never mind this was a great day if anyone remembers

Batshuayi aint happy at his 80 rating.
And Luiz is pissed off at his shooting rated lower than Kante

To me it looked like he was giving 100% and its one of those challenges where it looked like he was going for the ball, but no chance so studs were up. Reckless, but thought he was MOTM up until the red
