Old Shaggy

Just watching his YouTube videos (I know, I know) and he seems to be very similar to Jorginho and Kovacic in regards to his close control and ability to dribble the ball out of tight spaces. He also has a good range of passing too. I just don't see the point in buying another CM as that's a position in which we are already stacked! Although, I'd still be happy with him being at the club.

Going to be the pessimist and say I didn't enjoy that game. Terrible first half and only for a huge slice of luck we managed to draw the game against 9 men! I'd have preferred a 1-1 bore draw than the humiliation we suffered in the first half.

Thought he looked really good against United. Would like to see him go out on loan for 18 months in Jan to the Championship and really test himself.

"It’s time Chelsea axe outdated Azpilicueta for James" https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10211681/chelsea-cesar-azpilicueta-reece-james/ Not sure if I agree with this as Dave's been immense lately. But James does need a few game.

Rudiger is back in training, has been since before the international break. The only problem is his match fitness. This game has probably come a bit to soon for him, but could feature against Ajax or maybe Burnley.

I still think top 4 is in our own hands, unless we fail to sort out our defensive frailties. Start racking up those clean sheets and we'll be fighting for the 2nd to 3rd spots. Fail and it'll be a fight for the Europa League spots.

I would love to see Tammy and Bats play upfront as a two. Doesn't make sense to sell Bats while he's doing a job for us. Goal scoring strikers seem to be in a minority in this day and age.

The problem with Barkely is his first touch is far too heavy which was evident last night. Even against dross opposition he loses the ball far too often. Although when he does get it right he can be devastating.

He never faded at all last season! If anything, he started slow then grew into the season, arguably being our best player towards the end of last season.

Think I'll give our matches a miss until we sort our sh*t out. I'm not in it to watch us get our asses handed to us every match

Done it all theee matches this season. Turned off after United's pen. Didn't watch The Livepool pens, and bored with this game already.

I honestly think I've been spoiled by our successful years, because when we play sh*t I just lose interest. Already turned the game off.

Lose this one and it's a f**king horrible start to the season. Losing to these scummy c**ts as well as United leaves a horrid taste in my mouth.

I just want to be smashing teams 4/5/6 - 0, just like City and pool seem to do with ease. Depressing watching Liverpool smashing Norwich by 4 goals when you know we'll scrape a 2-1 win after struggling with Norwich's high press for most of the game.
