also for any statos or those with good memories, can anyone remember the last time we scored a rebound from an initially missed/saved penalty? can remember conceding one at southampton last season i think but can’t for the life of me remember us scoring one before today
have to say the recruitment last summer has taken a lot of criticism (justifiably imo) but joao pedro has been a remarkable signing. can count on one hand the players i’ve seen come in, play a couple of games and i’ve been able to tell straight away ‘yep, they’re going right to the top’

in all seriousness, really good to see the club have addressed the blatant shortcomings in the medical deportment we’ve seen this season. we’d best hope chelsea’s injury crisis clears up now though, as if it doesn’t and this guy is any good he’ll be off there before long
