You mean he should be like Jose who throws his players under the bus at every opportunity? How did that work for him?

Giroud is so slow....

Good point on that. It looked like Pool were the homeside with the amount of calls they were getting. Looks like the refs have a clear mandate to get them to win the league this year.

To be honest, it isn't a great angle. Mount was offside IMO. The broader question is how many passes before are you looking at to judge? If it took 30 passes for a goal, is VAR looking at all of them?

Huh? What? Where did the saves come from? Yeah they were great saves but I thought you were talking about the VAR decision.

Well, it was the correct call.

Frank is clearly covering for Barkley. Given there was even a small argument between Willian and Barkley convinces me that Ross isn't the designated penalty taker.

Agree he is incredibly frustrating when it comes to final ball and why I wanted him sold ages ago. However, who would you say was better than him today? He has been the only one who has created anything.

I don't particularly want Willian beyond this season but what did he do wrong today? He has been our best player.

Damn it

Jorginho did well to win the ball. Willian messed up the last pass ...

Any good streams?

Wow. 180k for an 18 year old. Really not good for the wage balance. Others will start demanding as well.

Just imagine us doing what Bayern is doing now with CHO. We will probably be banned for 10 windows.

They could at least defend which is what we needed at that point. Lampard has also been unlucky missing Kante and Rudi for so long. Both of them shore up our defense immediately.

Bringing off Kovacic wasn't the problem. It was who he brought on. An 18 year old to pair with someone who can rarely defend after 60 mins. Christensen or Alonso would have been more prudent choices given we just had to hold on to the lead. Frank will learn I am sure but his inexperience is clearly showing.

Difference is whether our board can digest 8th place?

Delighted even if I think he isn't ready. However, he will get a lot more leeway being a legend and with the transfer ban. Just hoping the club back with man with time as I believe he can be a success. Welcome home Frank!

Oh but that one night will be worth a lifetime :)

I agree. I could have given him a second chance but after his recent pining about how great AM is and how he was let down by the Chelsea fans, I definitely do not want him back.

We don't even have a coach yet. How are you thinking we will be playing more through balls?

Same. I think it will be the first time I will be following the Italian league. It should be fun. Conte is a fantastic coach and seems like Inter will be backing him.

5th or 6th in my opinion unless some of the others have a Jose level meltdown.

Still a little unsure of what the role is going to be. Hopefully he will be a success.
