    A field day of missed chances, aye.

    EDIT: Ah, Solanke might put one away. I'll be fair to him.

    As always with Spurs, that game could end 5-0 either way and I'd believe it.

    Isn't this back to the Ten Hag keep it tight and play on the break/game raising wanker business?

    Arsenal will ruin Spurs 1-0 off a set piece in the week. They laboured past Tamworth ffs.

    We’ve scored about 4 goals off 25 xG and conceded 10 off 1xg. It’s mental.

    No. Ten Hag only did this in two fixtures against anyone decent and that was in the FA cup last year.

    Barcelona are an odd one this year. Absolutely smashing Real Madrid again but 6 points behind Atletico in the league

    Raphina has been incredible for them this year

    Agreed on Danns, looked a handful(against a low level team) . I'd give him a go instead of Nunez.

    Arsenal are heavily reliant on the Odegaard - Saka combination which destroys most teams. When one of them is injured, they revert to Paella Pulis tactics.

    Liverpool have players who just step in and feel the process in the same manner when someone is out of the team.

    Forest lost their key midfielder Danilo in the first game of the season with a broken ankle. Others just stepped in. Same team spirit feeling.

    Newcastle lost Tonali early season but he's come back and is looking a million dollars. Bet365.

    I'll be surprised if Arsenal can keep this up. They're crumbling. Another trophyless season for Arteta?

    In today's twitter rumour that will make Bazs head explode, Michael Edwards has apparently been personally working on shipping Nunez out to Saudi. An opening offer of Ł70m has been turned down as he wants Ł85m for him.

    I know the Saudis don’t really care about value for money, but surely they’re not about to hand over Ł85m for Nunez?

    Yeah, that's never happening.

    Best bet to get any sort of value for him would be as some sort of financial shenanigan makeweight into a less competitive Southern European league, probably Italy.

    Although I hear Arsenal may be in the market for a number 9. Maybe they'll come in 1p over the Saudi offer.

    The 56-year-old was suspended by the club in 2021 for performing a fascist salute at the end of a match against Inter Milan.

    Bernabe was filmed making the salute and chanting "duce, duce", which translates as "leader, leader" and is commonly associated with former fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini.

    "I did it and I don't regret it because I admire Mussolini, he did great things for Italy as Franco did for Spain," Bernabe said in 2021.
    Most normal Lazio fan.

    I've never understood the admiration for Mussolini. He got cucked in Africa and had to be carried by Hitler for most of WWII. Geezer was a waster.

    Josh Acheampong becoming a first team player

    Chelsea have produced Ola Aina, Reece James, Tino Livramento, Josh Acheampong, Alfie Gilchrist (wasn’t gonna include him but he starts every week for best defence in championship) and Tariq Lamptey all in the past 10 years all in one position. Cobham is ridiculous

    Gets even better when you start including centre halves and left backs

    Lamptey is also rarely fit and Livramento blew his knee up.

    Throw Broja into the mix and they've got a never ending stream of extremely fragile talent.

    Jackson has been utterly brilliant tonight in all the build up and pressing but has went badly to missing sitters. Two so far tonight and at least one in every game since the bad run of Chelsea form

    One of the more one sided halves in the first. Que Chelsea giving away a penalty out of nowhere 2 mins into the half. The story of last season is slowly creeping back. Dominant, missing chances to end the game and gift goals away

    And now the referee has been called to VAR for a red card incident after a clothesline and gives a yellow. Didn’t even think they could do that. Assumed it was either red card or nothing

    Slot needs to realise very quickly that against this teams that sit back you can’t play Diaz as the forward. He needs someone up there against the defenders not someone dropping off.

    Could not have handpicked an easier run of fixtures after getting themselves into second place and a point behind Liverpool and are in absolute free fall. The curse of the second half strikes again. They need to invest in Liverpool’s peds and not kids from all over the world

    I noticed that they seem to be looking as if they are going to churn through yet more ‘player trading’ this month. They really could do with a transfer ban and just let the manager work with what he has got for a year. Then once he’s got a more settled team build on the obvious weaknesses.

    I accidentally found myself at the Gtech tonight. What a miserable watch City are. Should have lost about 6-1 but for Brentford being incredibly naive on the ball and a couple of miraculous goal line clearances.

    Whoever that is in goal for City should be shipped off back to wherever he came from. Genuinely have no idea who it is except that it's not Ederson and he can't keep goal to save his life.

    Whereas the Forest goalkeeper was like superman in the second half.

    Also, Murillo is a joy to watch. World class and at times mental. He's like someone went in a lab and put the DNA of Roberto Carlos and Fabio Cannavaro together.

    I've heard Real Madrid are looking to put in a bid. Can see that figure being around Ł100m.

    There was a moment when he came rushing 30 yards out of goal and Mbeumo (who I loved watching, great player) beat him to the ball by about ten of those yards. Proper risible display.
