Did Azpi just wave to the supporter he rowed with last week?

I thought he was confirming dinner plans 

Alonso having the last laugh

We played Monopoly last night. Just found a "Get of Jail for Free" card under the sofa. It has a picture of Jorginho on the back of it.

This is rare, but I want Jorginho sold. Whatever the price. He’s so much at fault for our patterns of play. 
Behind all of it, but he is just too much for me to take. No engine, no pace, no ability to attack

I posted the same earlier today.. but I don’t want to kick a good man on his poor day.. 

I think Jorgi is a great UCL/cup player.. but building a team around him he made us a cup team.. next season I hope we do a change to a more physical team and we will challenge for sure.

what a rollercoaster whew

Poor performance but we found a way to get a vital 3 points. That takes the pressure off a bit. I'm hoping we can wrap up 4th in the next few games and then give some of the youth a run out. Would make the last couple of games more interesting to watch.

Made us a stable top 4 team + CL winner. For better, get someone that isn't Werner.

no, never have done.

I see, thanks for the clarification!

Guess I mistook it for a triple punishment kind of violation where the player is only awarded a yellow card. Well not that it matters anymore!

Up the Chels!

Jorginhos penalty bounced twice before the keeper saved it.

Pat Nevin will empathise. A new rival for the worst ever pen at the Bridge.

Sleepy performance but a big three points

Clean sheet

Subs turned the game 

Poor penalty by Jorgi summed our overall performance 

Good finish from Pulisic but it’s the early cross that delivers

7points needed for top 4

Awful performance, big win. 

Still the same issues persist. No motivation for around 60 minutes and only really tried to properly force things in the last 10. I want to see the last 10 minutes from minute 1 to minute 90. If these players cannot cope with that, then they can't play in the Premier League, because that is what the Premier League is all about.

Intensity, if you don't have it, you can't win in this league.

Whew. 3 points. Such a relief. No more penalties for Jorginho. Frankly I think he is the one I will let go in the summer.

Gotta praise that ball from Alonso, he placed that perfectly.

No he did not.  It took a deflection off the hammers defender’s foot to go right to Christian.

Massive 3 points. Top 4 is most important this season.

 

Three things to note.

In these type of games it feels we have a mental block until we open the scoring, as soon as we've done that the floodgates open and we look very good but we always need an early goal.

Although this slightly contradicts point 1 I'm liking the fact we seem to be finally having the mentality to strike at the end of games, that's three late winners in two months. Under Sarri and Lampard I genuinely cannot think of many 85 minute plus winners we got (Cardiff away, anymore?).

Lukaku could have had a Ole Gunnar Solskjaer esque career here if he knew his place and accepted he's a number 2/super sub but his ego got in the way.

Well is that good enough - top 4 staple?

I think Werner is not good enough but so is our play.. we have proved to be the death bed of so many attacking players in this system of 3 .. wasn’t as bad before. We had two duds in 10 years earlier .. now one every year

Great result after 3 home losses, I thought this was going to be a draw.

Though not involved in the goal Lukaku putting in a shift got WHU's only CB sent off, would be good if he continues this fighting type cameo.

Nice to see Pulislic get the winner.

WHU are in trouble in the league now with Dawson banned for 3 matches though with the Europa progression guess they are not too concerned.

It really didn't. Penalty was super bad but before it he was having a nice match, we totally controlled the game unlike vs Arsenal when he didn't play.

Don’t disagree, but isn’t that on Tuchel? Doesn’t he pick the team, formation etc?

We have had very few late winners over the years. We've just had two in a few weeks, both to give us points we badly need but barely deserve.

We were awful, Lukaku is terrible, Jorgs pen, Puli saved our skin

I hope Eintracht Frankfurt smack West Ham around in the Europa League.

I think Declan Rice has a big part to play in that game. If he can lead the spammers to a good result there he has to be given massive amount of credit. I am already impressed he has managed to drag WHU this far in that comp already. Take him away from that side and you have a relegation fodder in your hands. 

Which ever big club manages to buy him will be very Happy. I hope it is Chelsea. I have feeling if Broughton bid goes through they will go all out on Rice. 

Sooner Jorginho is gone the better. Whenever he plays you can be sure we are going to have a slow, boring and frustrating match.

It's not enough but it's not so bad either. Let's buy Rice for 100m I'm sure he'll be happy to play for us if we give him huge wages.
