I hope Trossard has the game of his life, bossing the middle and the AL injury turns the game with Connolly grabbing the winner....all good

March has been no worse than anyone else which was the point I was trying to make to the person trying to assassinate him. Could be better of course.

Cheers for the shout, Sutton is honest if not a bit of a dick.

Feels a bit predictable doesn’t it. Caught out playing from the back, Lallana off injured, Lamptey our best player and fluffing our lines up top.
At least that would cheer you up.
Like Vicente, if Lallana could play 90 mins every week he wouldn’t be playing for us.

I'd stick to VBA.

Same old same old for the goal but we looked organised and played some really good football without ever looking particularly threatening. Lamptey and Alzate (error apart) look good. White showing promise. March good right up to the box. Only disappointment is we can’t seem to get Maupay in the game and his one half chance he fluffed. Small margins.

Unlucky with the goal, look to get sussed out towards the end.
Gutted for Lallana and pleased with Lamptey attacking threat so far, coulf be pushed to RM/W soon the intent he's showing!

Good news
Bissouma best player on the pitch.
Lampty very close in second place.
Trossard looking as good as any Chelsea player behind them.
We've had more of the ball and more shots than them.
White looks to have slotted in well.
Molumby can come in if the mistake is going to affect Alzate.
Bad
We still need a striker it's our biggest weakness. Don't get enough chances per game in Prem to waste those.
March for the first 35 minutes was a 2 out of 10. Can only assume he's been told to go backwards 19 out of 20 times as a part of the system. Usually quite like him.
Again a penalty from a mistake costing us. Not either or but a double negative leads to the only goal. You get the sense other Prem teams would suffer the mistake and it not lead to a goal from that position.
Conclusion
Stick Vardy and Chillwell in our side and we'd be where Leicester or Wolves are. 2 positions away, everyone knows the glaring weaknesses but we've so far replaced Mooy with like (if he stays fit and on more money) in Lallana and replaced our back up right back with another back up who's a bit more versatile. We have a really good team but need to score goals when doing everything else well.
(Not saying we could sign those players, and don't need to for top 10-12. They'd make us borderline top 6. What we need for 10-12 is to try and find Bissouma/Webster/Lampty/Trossard level players for the two obvious positions).

yep... sometimes we need to realise that there are other ways of getting the ball forward...
How can you honestly say that? It's the first bloody game of the season.
Great first half. Keep the same level of play against weaker sides and relegation will be a non-issue this season.
And a poll about how many points not given away by giving away possession for free every time the keeper got the ball.

An excellent half from us marred by a stupid gifted goal and Lallana's injury.
Not the universal opinion I know, but I'm not blaming Alzate for the goal. Sure, it was a naive mistake. However, that goal all stemmed from a throw-in we had NEAR CHELSEA's CORNER FLAG, after our most dangerous attack of the game. We threw it 20 yards backwards, 5 seconds later it's with Maty and 5 seconds further it's a penalty. Why on earth throw it towards the halfway line when we're in such an attacking position?
Different player. Same mistake. He’s been watching Propper too much!
Still, our mega summer signing lasted 43 minutes into his 3 year contract. Heard his agent is some bloke called Paul Kitson...
