Yeah, I’m happy with how we’re doing. Palace will tire.I thought we played well. Just missing a bit of creativity / the final ball to break the deadlock.
Giroud onside as well. VAR please. Every match!
Palace have a good defence. We need to keep playing the same way.
It's a crazy situation. I get that Sarri favours Jorginho because he's integral to the style they want to play, but it basically takes one of the best DMs going and shoe horns him into a position where he doesn't really impress. We should put a cheeky bid in for him because United and Chelsea frequently do business if the cash is right.He scored that goal against City so now he's the new Lampard.
I think you're right, Kante looks sub-par in this setup.
In terms of the offside, I'm sure the rule is that you are offside if you are past the last line with any part of your body that can be legally used to score. In that context, Giroud was leaning offside with his head. That said, the rule changes every two minutes so I might be wrong.I thought we played well.

A genuinely fouled player can dive ffs.. I've seen sterling do it tons of times.Can't believe I found people that are actually defending that. Let me spell it out in a bit more detail:
This what he the original statement by some poster was.
The bold part felt ridiculous because it said that even a genuinely fouled player can be deemed to have dived. Which is ridiculous because the formal definition of a dive (called simulation in the rulebooks) literally says that a player is guilty of simulation if he pretends to be fouled or exaggerates an injury.
Geez!
I don't think they will. You're not stretching them and its a lot of side to aide passing, I can't see what would tire them out.Yeah, I’m happy with how we’re doing. Palace will tire.
It feels like if they were playing us they’d be busting a gut.Palace have been simply pathetic given they are the home team.
Of course. Useless cnuts.Come on Palace. A Chelsea loss and we're dragged back into the top four race.
Which inevitably means they'll lose despite beating City when I didn't want them to.
Chelsea aren’t letting them play though, they are boring Palace into submission with Van Gaal Sarri Ball.It feels like if they were playing us they’d be busting a gut.
Because Andros Townsend hit an absolute worldy out of nothing and then we imploded.Cannot believe Palace beat City. How?!
Leicester beat City then lose to Cardiff at home.Cannot believe Palace beat City. How?!
No need to implode when you clearly have the better players. Ah well.Because Andros Townsend hit an absolute worldy out of nothing and then we imploded.
It's to be expected considering the positions he takes up. But he's got 5 goals and assists this season which is nowhere near enough for an advanced midfielder.Of course, Kante scores...
They will raise their game against the reigning champions. It's been a big stumbling block in this league for retaining the title. In other leagues, teams generally roll over against the big guns because they have dominated the league for so long, but when there is a new title winner every season, smaller teams have more confidence to go at the champions.Cowardly performance from Palace so far. What were they expecting? It's one thing to take a defensive approach and another thing entirely to sit so deep that your midfielders and strikers are stood in different postcodes.
I guess. Any other time it would be great, but not when it means Pool go clearLeicester beat City then lose to Cardiff at home.
It’s why we all love football.
