Time to rest some and get some time on the pitch for others

Andy Carroll on,

 

watch him

score 

Aunty Carroll can sod off !

That was tight. Shame that! Fantastic finish by him there, probably the most difficult of the three he had today as well ?

c'mon then lets have two late chelsea goals, 0-4 we deserve it,

Timo had some unlucky touches and really should’ve scored at least 1 and probably should’ve had 2. But, that is football. You could tell those early misses had him thinking a little too much

The IOW is a sacred place that has the worlds best coining facilities and thus gets a free pass!

Was wandering if it was a postcode thing.if it's not, where is the cut off? I think we can agree Fareham should come under Pompey but what about Wickham? Pretty sure that would full under Southampton. Is the line between Wickham and Fareham? Or if you get Wickham do we get Bishops Waltham? I've always wondered about these things

James looks to have gone up a level defensively this season, he's a beast. 

should really be 1-5

I guess Giroud pissed up Lampard or something...The guy scored two for France and cannot get 15 minutes to play with 2 up...

Hat fans need to remember Timo is German they are buiit with great mentality in football Timo can miss 3 and it doesn't affect him cause he knows he will score again he's mentality just different he will be a big difference to us this season 

Aww Mase, fantastic first touch, does let down by the finish!

Emerson and Rudiger on the pitch, oh Jesus thats getting close to the worst defence we ever had again, wheres the sofa.

Mount ruins another chance, we could have scored like 6 goals this game...

Just got to give them time and thats what we can expect. Patients please.

Nurse?

What's the least fun substitution we can do? Emerson for Ziyech or something? I imagine that'll be what we'll see.

wouw that was the stamp of Kante

I'm beyond childbearing age, but I will gladly find a surrogate mother to have Mendy's child.

It’s a classic Benitez move; like for like fullback change.

You said that about Ruud Gullit too and then nine months later Nathan Aké was born!

In the 81st minute as well - that's vintage Rafa

I'm sorry did you just compare Lamps and that fat Spanish waiter? And you keep going on about getting me banned ?

Lampard seems to like Emerson

The common denominator there; fat.

He does seem to favour players who are nice guys and don't cause trouble, but that begs the question of why Azpi isn't there

Only a few minutes of Giroud, how disappointing.
