Probably one or more of the next few games. We're anything but predictable.

It's been one of our best seasons ever, just like the last two.

I can't see this super league happening though, not if it means quitting the domestic tournament. The Premier League is an incredibly powerful brand and shows no signs of slowing down. If it starts to wane, perhaps they'll consider it more seriously.

The most important thing is we control the midfield. We've failed to do that in the last two, though Sunderland won't press us hard like Bournemouth and Chelsea did. Clasie and Davis needed, perhaps with Romeu as well though that might not be needed if Sunderland sit back.

I'd imagine the drop is because the Champions League moved from ITV/Sky to BT.

Besides, you know, wins at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford and points at Anfield and Arsenal.

I thought you only watched the second half? Let's all calm down, it was a poor performance but we've got a useful game to put it right. Let's just hope Long is okay.

Let's hope the second half is as different here as it was in the reverse fixture...

God, Van Dijk is good. Yeah, if it had been great, composed play.

Let's start with getting out of our half before we worry about what we do when we get there!

Bold move to move to back four, but probably needed. Davis will help a lot.

Same issue as Chelsea here, sitting deep and struggling to keep the ball outside of our third. Bournemouth playing really well but we've got to get a grip. Really miss Wanyama.

Romeu's been poor as well.

Austin huffing and puffing already, bad sign

Forget calm, let's keep moaning!

Lallana does have a far better chance of winning trophies now than he did with us. Southampton weren't in the League Cup final, Liverpool were.

No guarantee he'd start every week here if we keep this formation as it is, but I'd be happy with him as a Mane replacement if the price was right.

He was the only one who looked confident. Austin wasn't at it and Pelle's clearly lost belief from being dropped. You could see Koeman with his arm round and geeing him up when he came on. Baffling substitution. On reflection the goals were pretty soft.

Beaten by the better team and that's all, really. Can't fault the first half performance and second wasn't bad, just a yard off an improved Chelsea. I do wonder whether we started conserving energy second half knowing we've got a game Tuesday. Missed Wanyama a bit and Long when he went off.

That's partly why many Leavers see the key question as whether we would be more a less a nation.

There's plenty of things you'd hope the leader of the opposition would do...

He'll be utterly irrelevant to the In campaign! Alan Johnson, however, is going to be a star. Many thanks for these links - I've always suspected the TTIP controversy to be too bad to be true, though it is worrying they even considered this ISDS system.

Reporters very rarely claim that these deals will 'come to fruition'. Schneiderlin probably was Arsenal's number one target, if that's what Cross, as one of the best connected Arsenal journalists, reported. That doesn't mean they have to get him for his story to be accurate.

If it didn't affect our standing in any way then I wouldn't be upset, but I could never be happy to see us lose. I'd certainly be unhappy to see us lose in the Leicester game we've got, because no one's standing is decided by then.

Forster Cedric, Van Dijk, Fonte, Bertrand, Targett Clasie, Davis, Romeu Mane, Long Much as I'm eager to see Austin getting minutes we can't shoehorn him in. We've always killed Chelsea with pace, and especially with Mane.
