And football really, really is as simple as that. FFS, I despair a lot these days.

I don't really want to get in the middle of this, but you do appear to find it incredibly easy to get into arguments with a wide range of people, apparently for no great sensible reason, and then seem to keep on quoting and requoting, droning on and on with your somewhat simplistic views. And that is me saying that. Just think about that for a moment.

@Skinnedy On each of the charts in @coco's link above Pope is only just above Kepa, and is almost equally as bad, statistically speaking.

Serious question @Argo, has Reece ever played RCB for us or anyone? Or any centre back position, come to that?

Were you not watching last week?

The bloke's 53 years old. He's not going to improve.

I do - You tell us all what you earn and I'll let you know what he earns.

Isn't that EXACTLY how some people in here judge Willian, @Nibs?

Yep, but that sort of tackle had never been allowed within the laws of the game, regardless of how far back you care to go for your standards.

Any time someone's studs connect with someone's shin, they need to be looked at for a red card, in my view. And the greater the speed and recklessness, the longer the ban they should receive. From the bit of video above, it looked like the twat had lost control and jumped in deliberately. Off, off, off, off, off, etc.

You appear to have spelled "piles" incorrectly.

nothing to see here, move along please

It really does.

Nope, he didn't score as many nor assist as many either.

Fixed that for you

And I'm not even going to mention the now-missing apostrophe!

Surely anyone taking a players legs out by sliding through has always got to be a penalty. Doesn't matter where our player's legs were, the defender missed the ball, made contact and took him out.

Now that one I can agree with you on

His Phil Collins did what?

What makes you think that? And they are two different types of player performing two different roles in two very different teams. But, yes, I'd rather have Willian than Zaha, that's true.

But then you always have been a contrary f**ker

Aww bless, jack. "Arsenal defence"???? really???? Wasn't there film a few years ago of a terrier dog running through the arsenal defence pushing the ball along with his nose? The "arsenal defence" that has been immeasurably improved by adding David Luiz to it this year? BTW, I just did a quick check on which players have scored most against Arsenal. In the top 10 are Darren Bent, Peter Crouch, Anelka and Dwight Yorke. (https://www.90min.com/posts/6152352-bogey-men-10-players-who-have-scored-the-most-premier-league-goals-against-arsenal)

In what way soft? Defender slid in, didn't contact the ball, slid on through and took out Willian's legs, and it was inside the penalty area. Tell me exactlly how that was "soft" FFS, even that bitch-whining Dyche, who complains and moans about referee decisions all the time, said it was a clear penalty and his defender was silly to slide in. What the hell do you actually mean by that? A clear penalty (See my comment above) and a wonderful interplay resulting in a perfect cross from James and a great header from Tammy. What do you think was unfair about either of those? Truly, it still astounds me how our so-called fans can try to take every opportunity to talk down the team, or the club, or individual players, even after a convincing home win.

Just every time I see him play, which is nowhere near every match, I'll grant you, but it holds true. I have never seen him give anything NEAR a MoTM performance, excepting in flouncing and complaining when someone like Reece James makes him look silly for an entire match.
