He is a decent player but another example of why you shouldn’t go mad buying someone because of World Cup performances

Solid DM - but they had plenty of them , it’s another attempt at a statement of intent
This is my point really. A decent player. If what we get for £106.8m these days is “decent” players then it’s worse then we thought.
 
Is there no-one from the billions of loanees and academies that Chelsea have, to play up front? Surely, if they've some tasty young talent up front, now is the time to get them in?
They have some guy out on loan called Romelu Lukaku who might be alright.

I think Joao Felix is a player that could flourish under Pep. In fact am sure he was after him at one time. But am not sure any player has grown this year. Be interested to hear from the Chelsea fans who their player of the year is.
Judging by WhoScored average rating, it's Reece James but he's played less than half the games. Next best Thiago Silva. Not sure about that personally. Impossible to say that anyone has played genuinely well for them.
 
Just having a look at the bottom Of the table fixtures for the clubs. Lord they’re brutal. Everton look to have the best run in.
 

“New Leeds United manager Sam Allardyce has said he is "up there" with any manager in the Premier League including Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp.”

interesting line up tonight for both teams

ederson rested.. prob knew he wouldnt be needed lol

we have put in a few different players but apart from rice i wouldnt say its a massive "rest" of players

fornals for benny .. fornals started the last game as it was

dowens for rice obvious rest, however soucek also missing (which most fans want)

then having aguard rested .. not a massive shock he has played a lot of games ..

zouma injured anyways

Seats right at the side of the away fans. Hope the proper London fans behave. 😁

Seen this on the news
He’s not though .
Hes usually down there trying to stop relegation.
but he is good at that I have to say.
 
Good gar for the rural defence v Attack.
Think the hammers keeper Will be the first booked.
Good atmosphere
 
WH defending well.
But when they go forward long ball Antonio is winning the ball but nobody is getting in front of him so it’s just giving City the ball back.
Cant see the logic!

Yes but City are playing with 5 upfront.
But they seem to be getting in each others way.

Sam is not as bad as some make out, good coach , would suit Chelsea , basically no input on players lol

Built Bolton up and got them playing some lovely football with jay jay etc

I mean he took us up from the champ and got us up the table with solid football

I think he will do well for Leeds, no input on transfers just use what u got and get the best from them

We always looked solid under Sam and when bilic came in he had the first year with Sam's methods drummed into them, second season? Yeah that didn't work

Ironically would have been an excellent international manager, but he was set up by the media , still wrong but yeah

Can't go down in international football. He would get some of the best players around and get them solid at back but play good football tbh.

Yes but as good as Pep and Klopp.
The guys deluded.
 
Seen some great matches in the last few weeks. Tonight’s fayre is a bore fest. Can West Ham keep up the pace, closing down City really well.

Thank god, a goal! Hopefully West Ham will have to push more, and we should see a more open game.
