This kid deserves a thread of his own. I predict football fans will have a lot to say about him in the years ahead. Second time I've seen the 18 year old (on the telly) and he's the real deal. Phenomenal vision and a touch like God.

Ok with three big games in seven days, we can understand squad rotation but he can't leave Willian on the bench for the next one surely. If Sarri (the knob) wants to create total harmony and team spirit, he can't not involve someone that good. Spoilt for choice, I'm not sure he knows his best team.

 

In the first half last night, Willian's shot off the bar was the best chance. In the 86th minute, his amazing cross was inch-perfect, putting the only goal of the game on a plate for Alonso.

 

With Liverpool next on Sunday, he must surely, finally, play his strongest team. CHO wasn't even on the bench last night, the first time he's not been either on the pitch or the bench for a long time. Hazard was a sub last night, coming on in the second half. If he doesn't start with Hazard, Willian, CHO and Giroud (and leaving Higuain on the bench) then Sarri the knob is totally incompetent and Liverpool will deserve to win.

I'll give the knob his due, he started with Hazard, Willian and CHO. I would have found room for Giroud but at least he's left Higuain out. This could be the game where Citeh win the league.

Sarri made five changes last night and Pedro and Giroud combined to create four goals in the first half hour and game over. Crucially, he left Jorginho on the bench, the first time he's not played him that I can remember. This knob still doesn't know his best team.

Seemed like they were riding their luck towards the end?

Didn't see it manc. I'm just staggered at the inconsistency of his selections but Pedro and Giroud were left out last time.

Ruptured his Achilles in tonight’s game against Burnley so season over for him.

Shame to hear. Only caught the first half hour before switching to BBC2 to see a famous Scottish victory, despite the inclusion of a freak young man as captain of the opposition. The Edinburgh captain was himself freakily good in the second half.

 

Higuain's goal was class. Caught the last 20 minutes too and once again, Chelsea were disjointed and failing to get the most from a supremely talented bunch. No Willian on the bench may suggest an injury. Ruben's a right talent, a big unit with great feet.
