I dont think it was the way of the past, I think with many of the players that we let go that are now stars, the player themselves werent happy to play a bit part and wanted more first team action, you look at the players these young guys expected to get game time ahead of, in Luckys case it was Drogs, he could have stayed around and learnt from him but wanted off, its more a case of Chels dont want to have unhappy players at the club and if the right offer comes in then they are free to go.

We have quite a few players who can step into that holding/ defensive mid role though RJ and AC being just 2 off the top of my head, you can then add in CHO, MM, dropping a bit deeper etc.. plenty of short term cover

Harsh to put Begovic in there, and I must admit I really wanted Pato to do well

the body check on KDB was world class I dont think anyone could take that away from him.

Its just a scottish thing and a term of affection a friendly word for small... used in Scotland for years and in many different cases i.e I will just have a wee dram

Not sure I agree about needing to rest players, there are only a few games left in the season and assuming we keep winning then most players like to continue obviously if someone is hanging out of their arse then fair enough but to do a mass rotate just for the sake of it isnt needed

I would guess that because its taken out 500 normal seats but I dont think there is actual approval to use the semi standing areas as yet (they are just getting it ready) as its still currently under discussion, then once safe standing is approved the capacity will go back up

May just be my opinion but I dont think he was ever clumsy in touch or passing, he just looks like he is. I know its an odd hair to split but he does have an ungainly way of kicking the ball in that he doesnt stroke it around but that belies the actual kick itself

Isnt it normally more a case of him falling out the the powers that be though rather than the results on the pitch or the players? That seemed to be the pattern I read?

Isnt it about now someone has to point out when the REAL test will happen and that he hasnt beaten a top 6 team as yet

Ah that really f**ks me off, cant believe he gets away with it. Back into defender as they are jumping creating a potentially dangerous landing for them while flopping to the ground and screaming in pain.

Oli is going a little bit Billy Elliot there 🙂

Hang on you seem to have missed Man U from that list 😁

As much as it pains me to say it I think Neville is pretty good and balanced in his commentary, Jenas when we have played Spurs is always a Tit though
