You think that's bad. Did you not see the line up for the most attackingest team in the world in their Checkatrade trophy game: Checkatrade Trophy: Leicester City field £45m Under-21 side in Scunthorpe win http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42246392
Since everyone seems to be missing the fact that Belgian international Michy Batshuayi is in the starting lineup of what is supposed to be Chelsea's B-team, I may as well mention how much this quote-unquote B-team cost Batshuayi £32m Kenedy £6.3m Musonda £4.5m Carvalho £1.35m (and he's 35 years old!) Hazard £150k Ampadu £undisclosed Bulka £undisclosed At least half of those players seem to be playing in the Checkatrade because the Chavs forgot to loan them out.
I was on a different track altogether. I thought you meant Joe Walsh, a guitarist for the Eagles, but I see what meant now you have pointed it out
Lookman with a very different pair of goals against Apollon: Lazy defending on the first and poor goalkeeping on the second, but well taken. Allardyce isn't even there, yet his arrival seems to have improved them very quickly.
There's some suggestion that the club's failure to replace Lukaku really hurt his confidence in their prospects. This may have rubbed off on the players. If your manager doesn't think that you're going to win, then you're probably not.
From the BBC website........ Sussex Police have apologised for wrongly claiming weapons were found after crowd trouble during Brighton's Premier League home game against Crystal Palace last week. Six people were arrested and two stewards were taken to hospital after the two sides met on 28 November. Sussex Police said the next day that some fans had attempted to attend the game with "knives and knuckledusters". But they now say no such items were recovered at the stadium. "Sussex Police apologises to both clubs and their supporters," a statement said. "The reference to weapons being found discarded at the stadium following the Brighton v Crystal Palace match on November 28 was based on information logged by our officers on the night and done so in good faith. "Subsequently, it has been established that no such items were physically recovered at the stadium or in the city. We accept that this information was incorrect." WTF? How can you log weapons such as knives and knuckledusters in good faith when no such weapons were recovered? Outrageous and heads should roll.
Chavs trailing to the Spammers in a game only significant for highlighting the inconsistency of officials. Anthony Taylor doesn't book Reid for pulling back Bakayoko running into the box or Zappacosta diving, doesn't even give a foul for a straight arm offence by Christianson and books Morata for what looked like a fair challenge on the keeper Adrian!
I'm trying to think what's more embarrassing: the Chavs' complete lack of defending, or Arnautovic's ludicrously OTT celebration that got him booked ...and then Pedro decides he wants in on the embarassment action ...then Arnautovic decides that, rather than take on the keeper when through on goal, he'll appeal for a penalty that he'd never get ...or Morata's piss poor dive
I get the feeling The FA might do more about this than they did about Ben Foster. Just a hunch... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/foo...5959&&&ns_fee=0#post_5a2bf011e4b02f757f165959
Newcastle v Leicester is on BT Sport. The Geordies claim to be fantastic fans but for most of a tense, edgy game you could hear a mouse fart in their 52,000 capacity stadium. Poor.
