Special Juan

Typical England with another performance out of nothing. This has been the most depressing week or so of football I can remember. I sat there on Friday night, switched the Croatia game on and just looked at the empty stadium and thought "Is this what it's come too" I fucking despise International football, its an absolute abomination.

Lad needs a lot of credit, he's worked fucking hard to get himself back to 100% fitness and has adapted unreal to Sarri's style of football. He deserves all the praise he is getting.

He won't get a run of games here, unless something drastic happens like a long term injury or suspension occurs. Kovacic and Barkley are ahead of him in the pecking order. I cannot see a long term for him at this football club, I just can't.

Is it a well known virus that players sound off when on International duty?

PL POTM....

No way he breaks into this midfield right now, our midfield with Kovacic/Barkley, Kante and Jorgino is absolute top level right now.

The problem right now with him, is he knows he is this sort of in and out utility player, and he's actually behind Pedro in the pecking order IMO. His consistency levels are what is the problem, it's something that gives MS a problem. He's played under managers that allow him time to fuck about on the ball, Sarri doesn't, he wants it moving all the time.

And a long distant memory is that rat TC....Long live Kepa.

I was out with family so watched on my iPad, played well great to see Barkley coming good. Even better result with that 0-0 at Anfield.

I will translate that...."He's fucking rubbish"

Just confirming things...he's a gob shite and he's shite.

They haven't saved his job for long, this was piss poor again.

This is great.

He reminds e of Eden in a little way, his balance is fantastic and the way he can shift the ball foot to foot is sublime. Love everything about him.

Pedro is a must start for me, but I hope to god we don't get drawn into this "Morata has scored now so it's OK to start him" analogy- He has got a long way to go before he deserves any kind of start in the PL.

Made good saves, distributed it well but his decision making from off the line needs to improve. The mix up with AC was a good example, he needs to command that situation, but apart from that he's been good since arriving.

Made tough work of that, far too tough for my liking. Terrible in front of goal, Morata is just absolute shite of the highest order. The ref was poor but it was nice to see RLC out there.

Happy he scored but before hand he was absolute shite again.

In other sport related news...There was a horse race at Warwick today where only one horse actually ran, believe it or not that horse won the race, Spurs finished second.

Good news for him.

A joy watching Messi take apart a very shite Spurs team. Also great listening to the pundits back tracking after the game. Oh and Pochetino claiming his players were "Heroic"

Hope to fuck they don't get shot of him until after we play them, I want to rub it right in his face when we pass them to death and get them chasing our shadows. Fucking hate them and Mourinho can kiss my arse.

United were absolutely brutal last night.

If you listened to the media the difference between both team was about 15 points before KO, that's how mind boggling they are. What finished up was probably a fair result, but if people think we won't challenge or at least get at teams they are mistaken. This is where huge credit has to go to Sarri, he's been in charge a few months, the team is playing probably the best football for years and and he's hardly bedded in as yet, there is miles more to come. We are a bit too reliant on Hazard for my liking, these two strikers are not the answer in terms of prolific goals. Giroud over Morata all day long for me but that doesn't solve the goals we need from that position. If I was Sarri I would be into the ribs of the board now ready for January/Summer and use exactly what I have said as an example. If I was put on the spot I'd have to choose Icardi, he would be the one I would love to see lead our line- He's dynamic, he's different, he works like a dog, he's got an edge and he's a brilliant finisher. We need to tie down a deal for Kovacic, that is an absolute must, he's exactly the type and profile we need from a midfield player, he's been outstanding so far. There are so many positives already this season, things are just getting started. KTBFFH.
