More surface area is good for a goalkeeper.

Sanches starting to look alright, but maybe it's just by comparison to all this poo poo.

He was clearly about 5 levels above every other player in that game. Really obviously great player.

Except that apart from one terrible free kick he never really attempted to shoot at all. He should do that too cos he's already doing everything else.

I watched the first half and it was quite possibly the worst football I've seen

Was better than the Watford game.

Rooney and Bilic had hair transplants, it's real hair.

Conte has a hairpiece, you don't need to cut it since it doesn't grow.

Is he seriously wearing a wig? I thought he'd had the world's best transplant or something. This makes Mourinho's comment funnier. :newlol:

Also why did the chels replace Matic with Bakayoko, other than the latter is younger. Seems a bit pointless.

He's been 5 levels below everyone else in every other game he's played. His debut was Bebe for United levels of out of his depth.

Because he's loving awful and a couple of balls bouncing off him and going in doesn't change that.

Fair enough, I've not seen any of his other games. But in person today he jumped out as obviously a cut above everyone else.

Yeah, maybe Villa, West Ham, Scunthorpe, Burnley, or the myriad of teams that play in claret and blue.

That half just flew by, despite nothing of real interest happening. Maybe it's because I've had a few beers.
