Makes no difference to us. Were not really chasing you for title now. Need to stay in touch with 2 ahead so worse case it's a 5 way fight for remaining 3 CL places and not us v 2 Mancs.
Can't wait to see how Firmino is after his court case. He hasn't looked right in a while - not sure if it's tiredness, off field issues or just poor form.
Annoying that we've now got fully fit squad and first team back, especially that front 3 that was so good early on, but Firm looks well out of form.
not sure why people thought hazard wasn't fouled. Lallana runs right into his back as hazard cuts across. Unfortunately i didn't see the pen as my fake stream stopped (the ****ers!). Game was pretty even, chelsea losing the ball cheaply and just sitting back egging you to break us down. You guys lack some serious penetration. Second half, you started getting men into the box and the crosses in behind dave/moses was dangerous which was where you had more joy. Hendo played a great ball. Wasn't a coward with that
You've gotta be kidding Bobby ........he lost control of the ball and did an Ashley Young starfish to make contact........never, ever a free
Was never a free kick. Hazard lost the ball, then ran sidewards into Lallana's path. If you have ball under control then sure, it's clever cutting across player, but if you've knocked the ball too far, only cut across to initiate contact and win the foul. Pen was actually good decision. First angle looked huge dive, but when see it in reverse and slowed down is a bit of contact. Could easily have gone either way.
He's never a coward with his passes. He gives the ball away fairly often as a result though. Jimmy just didn't like him (he actually said he hated him during this game #genuinely), he's had a pop at Lovren and Milner since too #agenda
I wondered if the court case was affecting him, but he wasn't involved in anything so there should no more than a fine and maybe a ban. Neither of which should affect him unduly. The guy works really hard, but his end product has always been patchy - maybe he's just having a bad spell.
