Can’t see Pep bringing him on now. If it was in the balance with, say, 10 minutes to go, maybe.

Not sure if serious...?

Better without Erling? Behave. You can maybe make an argument for Kev and his lack of backward effort these days leaving our mid exposed. Or if you're comparing last 2 games vs Chelsea then don't ignore Peps terrible tactics last time out.

As in, posting excessively on another teams forum because your own team is finally having a decent season and you’re feeling cocky?

No, hubris doesn’t mean that. By the way I’ve been posting constantly for some years now, so nothing to do with current form.

Looked comfortable all game, nice to play with the handbrake off, but fuck me they are shite. Could be a cricket score here.

Ok Chelsea are very poor but it’s refreshing to see us switching play much more than usual. Mahrez popping up right middle and left offers so much more than our static play.
They will need to come out this half so our defence will have work to keep a clean sheet.

Need to make sure my missus doesn’t see this.

I think he slightly overdone it with the beard oil...

Alvarez in a press, second to none, even Riyad has pressed well, they are having to play very well just to get in our half

 

[willipp]

Cracking half and really good to see Alvarez playing. Gives so much energy to the side and it rubs off on others. Palmer playing well, Mahrez superb and foden much better than Thursdays game.

Take the piss and bring on Big Erl with 20-25 to go.

Rodri/Bernardo vs Jorginho/Kovacic is one of the biggest on-field mismatches I've seen recently relative to the competition.
