Good enough, I guess. Passing's not been great and Dembele and Sig have been a bit poor. Carroll on for the second half I hope. 2 away goals is plenty.
Dembele needs to come of at half-time, in my opinion. He's really pushing his luck. Might be an idea to stick Chadli on and move Sigurdsson into the middle, as he's been ****e down the left. Complete contrast to Townsend, who appears to have the beating of their whole left-hand side. Two good goals, limited them to very few chances despite looking a bit shaky at the back and we've been in control. Another goal and a clean sheet would be very nice. Need to keep all 11 players on the pitch though, eh Moussa?
Dembele > Carroll Sig > Chadli Save the other sub for injuries or for a bit later. I wanna see (or rather read about) how that line up gets on
Capoue is an absolute bloody monster, isn't he? I think we might have signed the second Sandro. And we've still got the first Sandro. Those two together would be absolutely brutal. Was loving watching Townsend get a good run at QPR last year - surely a player to keep this season. Even Naughton had a very good hand in the goal! Bloody DIABOLICAL defending for our second, though. Comic, almost.
naughton has been tested at premier league level and was fairly hopeless, so in all honesty I don't hold much from him. Townsend is just carrying on his form from QPR, so it's obvious he's coming into his own as a player, he just needs a chance and so far he's showing the '' not ready comments '' to be premature.
Totally agree Robspur. Townsend should not be dropped after this. Chadli needs to wait for Townsend to drop form or prove he can do better. I'm all for new signings making our current squad improve.

Let's not forget Lloris. Nothing to do for the entire game apart from pull a fantastic save out of the hat. That's why we paid so much for him.
I'm with you on Dembele off, Carroll on. Dembele and Gylfi have been a little disappointing. Dembele looks uncomfortable farther forward. Although Gylfi may be the worst offender, the whole team has been guilty of dribbling aimlessly towards a clump of defenders in the middle, and passing late and inaccurately. Some of that will improve as players learn each other's names. We're controlling midfield, though, that's for sure. There have not been many loose balls that the other team gets, this week or last week.
my favourite bit of analysis was where the pundit highlighted a square/diamond of players and called it a triangle.
