True, that already makes it worse than our two 9 nils.

Surely Salah has to get the 10th.

Pull your finger out Salah - chance to fill your boots and you sack off. Call yourself a striker.

2 to beat it or 1 to equal. Gonna be tight.

No, they referred it to Billy Smart instead and, having looked at it briefly, he decided he'd like McTominay in his circus as the lead juggler.

Brendon in! Rogers out!

10 man Chelsea now 2-0 against Leicester. I can hear the cries of Brendon out from here.

They need 3 in about 25 minutes. Can they do it?

They've not scored for ages - I knew they'd ease up.

Hope he gets a hat trick!

Leicester fan forum will be worth a read 🙂

Could they....could they? Another goal soon to make it 7 and I'll start to believe.

Fair play to Djenepo I thought he was superb today. If he can maintain this level then we are ok at full back. I think we need a few more performances like today to convince the majority of us but he surprised me as I didn't expect him to do so well playing as part of a back 4.

The 10-0 record is on but Liverpool will probably ease up second half as there are midweek games.

Yeah, he didn't seem to catch it cleanly. Maybe if he had it would have gone past the post but we'll never know.

Gallagher sent off for Chelsea so will be suspended for our game.

We have the nucleus of what could be a very very good young side. For me there are two crucial pieces missing from the jigsaw. If we can find those pieces before the window closes we can become a match for most teams. If we don't find them then I fear it will be a struggle and we will have wasted the good work already done in bringing in our young stars. The two pieces to the jigsaw are a quality, hungry young striker and a creative number 10 who can control the tempo, create opportunities, go by opponents and weigh in with a few goals. We are close but much depends on what happens between now and Aug 31st in my opinion. It can go either way.

Another 6 and we loosen the chains round the 9-0 monkey on our backs.

Palace have City's number it would seem.

That was as good a performance you will see from a centre half so young who only has a few games under his belt in the Premier League. This lad is going to be some player and we'll likely only get to enjoy him this season if he continues to perform on that level. He's probably already on Liverpool's radar.

I think JWP is a player who needs a few games to get him up to full speed - I seem to recall he started last season slowly.

Wonder if Liverpool will manage to get a late bid in for ABK before the window closes.

Think we need a big centre forward plus a creative midfielder. We didn't quite have enough in our locker today up front or creatively to cause Utd enough problems.

Plenty of positives and lots to admire in our performance. Thought we were worth a point overall. ABK superb as was Lavia. Djenepo did really well at full back. Mara was lively and had two great attempts. Disappointments for me were KWP and JWP who both can play better. If we have a good finish to the transfer window who knows - think we need a striker and a creative midfielder more than anything after watching today's game. Good effort lads against a side that costs millions.

Been coming - they've upped it and we haven't.
