Which makes for an interesting lineup. Mane behind Pelle, Tadic and Elia wide, Davis dropped?

Good point, and superb defending, against and excellent Chelsea team. Happy with that.

Damn Chelsea are good. So much movement and options in the final third. Were defending SO well here, but it's hard not to see another Chelsea goal.

Lucky fukka! My favourite holiday destination (when the missus isn't with me): training at the WMC Muay Thai gym at Lamai Beach. Not sure where will be showing he game though.

There is a run of easier fixtures coming. Gonna be an interesting second half.

Boom. Two assists for JWP. We want 8! And sign Toby FFS.

Good goal. He's **** though, yeah?

Aide, Innit. Have an awesome one fellas.

True dat! Better a 4M flop than a 25M GasValdo **** up.

Hmmmm. Not sure about this. Got potential flop written all over him. However, we need options, and at that price he's well worth a punt. Is he Johnno Quick?

Great goal Maya!!

Really lacking cohesion here.

Yep: Die Hard Trading Places Bad Santa Class.

Isn't he **** though?

Thrown off the bus. Hmmmmm. Liked him. Nice guy. Loved his energy and positive attitude. Hindsight is great - I do think he is limited from a tactical point of view. I remember his comments on MoTD when he was quizzed on formation after a poor performance and his response was along the lines of being required to play 4-3-3 ('cause that's what this club does). Shame. Nice guy. Sure he'll pick up another club quickly.

Our rumoured targets being?

Yep summed up what I saw on the telly. Great that we can feel a little disappointed: third place with a third of the season gone. #meltdown!

We're now dominating and winning games - sometimes without playing well, in a way we never did under MoPo. Today is a great example........last season we would have been camped in their half, with 75% possession and likely got stung by a counter attack. Seem far more balanced now...happy to concede space/possession, and knock it long if needed. That said...65% is pretty damn good!

Good article. However in the spirit of innerweb nitpicking....it says we already knew about Pelle, yet most other reports say he wasn't on our radar (Tadic was), and he was purely a Koeman recommendation. Do I get an MLG prize for pedantry?

McDonald?!

We paid money for him, he kicks a ball. Moneyball.

Is he?

Like him. Basically the same fee as Gaston. One of them runs a lot and is a thorn in the side of the opposition and has little end product, the other has excellent skills and potential is injured a lot and has little end product. Think I prefer Long. A real 'moneyball' signing. Glad he scored, glad he's with us every week rather than against. Good squad option.

Time to see what this team is made of. A little pressure,away from home, tough opponents.....all that. Coyrs!

Spurs losing to Newcastle. 30 mins left.
