    On a side-note; with Kane and possibly Del out, should Janssen be brought into the match day squad for Huddersfield?

    It’d be the logical thing to do assuming Nando starts up top, always good to have another striker on the bench. Unless we give Parrott a shot, been superb for the 18s this season.

    It's almost worth taking bets on who ends up on the bench
    Vincent Janssen
    Troy Parrott
    J'Neil Bennett

    Providing he is fit of course we should, Along with Parrott. Often an injury turns out to be the chance a forgotten, or young player needs to kickstart their career.

    He left for the "glory" (and the extra filthy lucre just a coincidence) .
    He returned to his old club, and to a home crowd that he is unlikely
    to experience as a Citeh player (just wait and watch for their next
    two home games against Spurs) .

    Guardiola's teams always dive a lot, foul a lot and moan at the ref a lot. It's not a coincidence.

    Barca are not averse to the "dark arts" when needs must.
    Fortunately they are usually so superior to their opponents
    that they don't really need to resort to it (which I guess is why
    you remember it more) .

    IMHO you notice it more with Citeh, because with the competitive
    nature of the PL top 6, there are 10 games per season where they
    don't start on paper with Barca-esque superiority.

    This week their "take one for the team" fouling distributed among
    several players was obvious (perhaps football could do something
    akin to the basketball "team fouls" regime - or in rugby when the ref
    says the next infringement results in someone going to the bin and
    they don't care who it is) .

    Graham Poll did an article for the Fail in 2011 (dream team!) where he referred to it as machine gunning.
    Everyone kicks the most dangerous player on the opposition team for their first foul and it makes it hard for the ref to act.
    It was pretty bloody obvious in this game.

    That happened to Hazard in a game against Man Utd.
    Eventually the ref got fed up, and the next player that
    fouled Hazard got the yellow (though not being the worst
    of all the fouls committed up to then) .

    Yeah, that rings a bell. Happens to Hazard quite often, actually. Zaha gets it a lot, too.

    Wouldn't it be nice if Janssen could become another Sissoko with a gift for scoring goals...…..only joking!!!!!?

    I think that this commentator might be a little better than the last one, you know?

    Yeah I said it at the start of the season, he's brilliant. Has a real 'football voice' and just 'gets it'. Couldn't stand that monotone bloke before him, would just suddenly screech and sound like a complete knob.

    Being able to walk onto the pitch would be a nice start...
