Its an American phrase, usually reseved for talking about American football and having several good options at a certain position. Im guessing hes a yank

Only difference was Sanchez chipped it in while Batshuayi blasted it low and straight at him

Really? I thought it was a relatively common opinion that he was the best right back in the prem

Courtois cant come out Gary, he had no confidence in you knowing what the hell your doing

Credit to Costa for still going 110 %

Just stick with your man Cahill FFS

Was Luiz fault, out of position But for real, not even surprised anymore, we are just shocking

Didnt miss anything, his lack of defensive positioning was exploited several times. Its just not sonethibg he posseses. He was dire from around new year and out the year we won the title. Hasnt come close to replicate that form since, not holding my breath it happens any time soon

I have never seen that personally. Even at his best, he was always all over the shop defensively. Judging from your other posts we arent going to agree much on this topic so Im just gonna move along and agree to dissgree

Really, really dont share that opinion. And honestly, I can find many who do. Matic doesnt have the discipline, the positional awereness or the ability to read the game required to play as a holding mid. Kante does, hes an absolute beast at it. As @Nibs said, sometime players just have purple patches of great form. Theres numerous examples of players that has had a season or half a season of excellent play before returning to the norm. For me, Matic has returned to the norm. A lot better then last year, but still an average player

I quite like Mikel the person, just wish he was better footballer. Hope he finds happiness werever hes off to next

I think this is spot on. Expecting him to play at the Level he showed when he got here might be the reason people are moaning, we might have to temper ourselves and just come to terms With the fact that he is an average player and the performances he is putting in now is the norm for him. Which is not to say he is a bad player, he is in fact quite useful to have, but not someone who has a very Limited skillset that should be starting week in week out if we want to consistently challenge the top teams in the world. In the same bracket as Mikel for me

Madley has had a very good game

Chalobah coming on, good stuff

Were in the world did Dave pull that one out fron?

That was important to get before halftime. All goals have been cleared of the line after barely crossing

At least we wont hear anymore "get Begovic in" after Tibo fails to save a brace

LoL

I admire your dedication to slagging off Luiz. Its very impressive Luiz takes Okazaki out of the play on the header, we have the ball with full control. You cant expect a CB to follow the opposition to the byline upheldibg an offside just in case one of our players passes hin te ball?

Haha

Why is Cahill still trying to ping it long? Stop giving the ball away !

What on earth is Azpi doing? Begovic just stay on the line FFS

Lmao
