There's every reason to invent petty grievances just because another team has a good player.

Agreed. And it really annoys me. How the f*** is he possibly better at football than me? The gormless twat.
To be honest this annoys me with lots of players. Billy Gilmour, for example. I just can’t see how a little ratty runt like him can play in the Premier League, but I can’t. It’s not fair.

Gotta love him for this
Annoyingly, we've probably seen two of the best examples of headed goals in the Premier League this season (de Bruyne and Palmer) against us at the Amex.
Yes. And the answer's still money.
There are bigger clubs, sadly.
I can't think of a single example where a recognizably hot player (not a hopeful punt) singed for the smaller of two clubs seeking his signature.
When I say bigger, I mean clubs who pay more and have a history of winning things.

Yup, couldn't even be mad about it, or about Cucu's cross under pressure to Palmer. Our lack of first-choice fullbacks let us down last night.

We ended with none of our first choice back 4, and still missing our first choice wingers. Combined with a less than perfect midfield and it's amazing that we're still fairly competitive.
Southgate needs to find away to get him /Foden / Kane / Bellingham / Saka in his side.
Entitled whining or what!
Not at the expense of Maguire, Mings, Trippier, Henderson etc, surely?!

Not forgetting Anthony Gordon. The next England manager is going to be blessed with an embarrassment of Young Lion riches, up front and indeed throughout the side. A Golden Generation without, seemingly, the egos of the last lot
I've got a theory we might end up seeing henderson at CB

I kind of hope that RDZ is clocking all of this and realising that having fullbacks who can defend is the preferable option.
Veltman would have destroyed Cucurella.
Shame he was injured.
Easy. Play 4-1-4-1. Rice as holding midfielder, then Saka, Palmer, Bellingham and Foden across the pitch behind Kane.

For sure, only singled out the full backs because it's what Chelsea exploited to great effect.

Indeed re Veltman, it occurred to me yesterday that his goal at Newcastle might have been pyrrhic if his subsequent injury meant we could not beat or even force a draw with Chelsea. But who really knows what would have happened.

If I was his agent I'd be straight on the blower to Silvikrin because fair play to the lad, he somehow manages to make the most of what he's still got.
