Not a bad performance, but cut open so easily twice. Far too often we are cut open away from home in the blink of an eye.
The fact is we've won twice away from home this season. Once at Huddersfield where we were being dominated until the red card, and also at Newcastle - where we scored...
He's 21, and seemed like he'd pass the 'no dickheads'.
Would love us to try and get him, and would surely count towards the homegrown quota given his youth career was spent in England.
Really?
£6m is half what Benik Afobe has just been sold for, and a third of Solanke's fee.
I'd much rather keep him. £6m these days is nothing, and wouldn't get us anywhere near a similar replacement.
The one that confused me last night, was after 3 games in a week (and the fact he looked exhausted) - Gross wasn't replaced by Bissouma.
Bissouma did well in the chances he's had, and there were a couple of occasions where Gross looked so tired that he went for long balls over the top (to...
Just noticed:
Southampton - No wins at home this season, awful form, second bottom, are 10/3 to beat Arsenal at home today (Arsenal have a better away record than Chelsea this season).
Albion - 1 defeat at home this season, very strong at home, 13th in the league, are 15/2 to beat Chelsea at...
Unless we have 3 in the middle, we'll be overrun in midfield and camped in our half - like we were last year and the year before.
They will likely have Billing, Hogg and Mooy in the middle of the park (and Pritchard in front). Kayal/Propper would be dominated by those 3/4.
Sorry, worded badly (as I know they do the allocations to ensure everyone in tier 1 can get a ticket) - Does it look like many will be left? I can envisage chaos for a couple of hundred tickets remaining tomorrow with a few thousand eligible as it's a big drop in points.
About 1 and a half years salary.
It's all been saved as a deposit for a flat, but now struggling to find anything in my budget which hasn't got a 'issue' of some sort attached to it.
I've just phoned as was having payment problems on the website buying Southampton tickets.
Took me less than a minute to get through and was off the phone in 2 minutes, was surprisingly quick.
Exactly.
All those posters who said they didn't want him as he was playing us, dicking around, and holding out for more money and that he wouldn't fit into our team 'togetherness'.
In fact it seems like the complete opposite.
