Looking forward to this one. It says Trossard is a fitness worry. Is that a general post world cup blues thing or something he's picked up since? He certainly hasn't seemed at the races recently. Edit: just seen "Trossard's World Cup" thread. He's not quite right but no one's clear why.

Whose place would he take in a starting 11 if, as people assume, he becomes a fixture this season?

And then all he did was talk about Everton.

Can we call it Zerbing? Sounds less like it's comparing to Potter and it really is what that rapid one touch passing looks like - Zerbing the ball.

Did you start this thread because you thought there weren't enough other threads for Swansman to contribute to?

I feel sorry for the man. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that kind of pressure, in a foreign country. I take no joy in seeing him react the way he has - he's struggling mentally, it's clear. But I recognize that he's made a rod for his own back and he handled the move pretty poorly it...

This lack of goals from corners has also coincide with us looking less strong defending corners. Might just be my impression, but I bet the stats back it up.

As I watched I was wondering if De Zerbi had given him instructions to shoot when he could. As you say, confident.

I stand happily corrected.

Deleted. Out of date info.

Is 6 foot tall? I see lots of people saying how tall he is, but I'm not sure that qualifies as tall. He's a unit and I have loved watching him, and I suspect he might be great. But tall is not one of his attributes. (Unless we are comparing to le petit shithouse, Connolly etc)

You can see why we missed Caicedo against Asenal.

The ball isn't sticking to Sarmiento - and that immediately gives possesion away. That's very dangerous for a team that plays like us.

4) is unbelievable viral PR for a British club in South America (how many million views has that video had now?) 5) show all th ecurrent players that this club can develop players to the highest standard and that we'll celebrate that, not be scared about what it might mean for th eplayer moving on

I'm always surprised how little fans understand about finance, despite all the available information (including from our own prof of footy finance). Not worth arguing, but suffice to say we don't make a profit. And also that this club is hugely focused on the fans, however hard you, @Hamilton et...

Me too. Glad he's back. Happy for him and the club. And very touched by that welcome.

not sure it is technically correct. With the current technology there is no way to know precisely when the ball has left the boot of the player making the pass. So margins as fine as our (not) third goal are impossible to have confidence in. I think that's the argument for a margin of error -...

It's why in making the 7 hour round trip on NYE in this terrible weather. This Albion side could beat the table toppers, even without Webster, Ali M, Caicedo, Moder and Welbeck.

This is so boring. Could Chelsea just feck off now please.

£150m hole in midfield. I'm a bit nervous.
