Great tag. Wonder what Chelsea bound Mister Sancho thinks of this!

When he's on he's brilliant. Though Lindelof was great in the last WC, but he's looking shaky for us.Bailly is 10x the defender Lindelof is.
Ya pretty much this.Shame this thread is only 6 pages with a win at one of our bogey grounds. Guaranteed 30+ pages if we don’t beat Watford
What you on aboutPeople need to come to terms with the fact that alot of our players aren't good. Ighalo came in already and you can see the pressure he commands. We've had teams with O'shea, Silvestre, Brown and Welbeck and when you watch those players you can see the ability to make passes with urgency and a lack of ability to control and retain possession.
What you on about
Bailly is a liability mate.Bailly is 10x the defender Lindelof is.
He reminds me of the Monk from Mean Machine.Bailly is a liability mate.
It was also an off the field incident. There was plenty of stuff pundits can discuss that happened over the 90 mins actually on the field. I turned the tv off after three boring ex players kept repeating themselves over and over again.It was a huge moment in the game to be fair.
He is what he is. A poor defender who gets an easy ride due to being good to watch. Easy on the eye but way too mistake prone at this level. He's not going to change at this stage.He reminds me of the Monk from Mean Machine.
He has these moments of brilliance then out of nowhere you see a sub zero slide tackle clattering into the opponent.
Has potential but needs some more composure.
Hah I haven’t seen it but I love the spirit already.I loved that sweet moment in the post-match interview when Maguire called Bruno a leader and Bruno looked at him for a split second with pride like “yeah exactly, I am a leader, thanks for noticing chief!”
it's delicious!And how irritating is Hargreaves? They can't accept Dermitt Gallagher's response.
They're throwing their toys out of the pram on live TV.
Sorry, what?People need to come to terms with the fact that alot of our players aren't good. Ighalo came in already and you can see the pressure he commands.

Also one who gets away with a lot while his opponent will be booked.Azpilicueta , one of the most dislikeable opposition players in the league.
So you were fine when we sold japp stam.?People need to come to terms with the fact that alot of our players aren't good. Ighalo came in already and you can see the pressure he commands. We've had teams with O'shea, Silvestre, Brown and Welbeck and when you watch those players you can see the ability to make passes with urgency and a lack of ability to control and retain possession.
We fought but we still have gaps in the team. I'm speaking in terms of people who blame the managers for our teamSorry, what?
What had this got to do with stam. I'm saying our bench players then are better than most starters nowSo you were fine when we sold japp stam.?
Fred winning that ball back then feeding him was amazing! If he scored.......Fancied us when I saw the Chelsea lineup, great result.
Gutted that Ighalo chance didn’t go in at the end
I’d say about 5. We aren’t the best team aerially in general. Once you’ve marked Maguire you’ve eliminated 90% of our indirect set-piece threat. But maybe he can rack up direct free-kick goals, looks quite capable.How many goals difference will Bruno's set pieces make during one season ? 10 ?
He freaking shoved him down when the ball was coming at him. How the feck was that not a foul that led to a goal? People are weird.I'm always baffled by posters that think they know better than trained, professional refs.
A Panel of referees looked at the same (or better) images as us. But no, the caf knows better.... How the hell should Zouma's goal have stood?
Great result. Actually looked balanced as a team. Igahlo will bag for us, quote me.
Great postThe fan-favorite manager who is clearly out of his depth is Frank Lampard. Has Frank been getting the grief that Ole has been getting?
Anyway enjoyed this match, there was a simmering physical danger. I like seeing the players get close to the line where emotions spill over.
Impressed with Bruno, Williams, Bailly, and Fred. Bruno was the best player on the pitch for both sides. I am excited to see how Bruno's influence shapes this team. In the first half he got into really good spaces a dozen times, made great runs that dragged their backs out of position - and we couldn't find him with the ball. His passing and reading of the game are excellent. There was a pass in the first half where he was near the center circle and split two Chelsea players with a raking through ball to (I think) Martial. The vision and technique were Scholesian.
I didn't think Maguire's incident should have been a red card. It's different from the Son incident, in that Son was not in danger of having Rudiger fall on him, he was on flat ground, and he raised his foot about, what, a foot? Maguire was on the steep edge next to the pitch and Zouma or whoever it was looked like he was about to fall on him. He also moved his foot a few inches. To me that's enough of a difference and it was the correct decision.
On Willian's dive in the first half, look at his left leg. The right leg does get contact with Bruno's leg, but Willian throws his left leg out to go to ground, and that's what the referee likely saw. Correct to book him.
I would have liked the subs earlier, with Ighalo given a little more time, and I would have played Mata. When Ighalo got the ball he showed great close control and composure, just a shame he couldn't have scored with his first shot. I think he will be a useful forward. Was Greenwood injured?
I don't know why we can't have Mata and Bruno together, two incredibly intelligent players.
Martial's header was great, and AWB's cross was superb.
