Didn't see the match, had someone texting me scores - brilliant that Can scored, he's deffo looked promising in last couple of game, and once settles in more and gets up to full match fitness, could be a real player. Looks an assured young lad. Letting them back in minutes later, not so good, and seeing the pics of the 4 chav players standing in front of Migs is a bit surreal. And Costa did what he does to win it.
Still, though really disappointed to loose, wasn't hugely surprised. Defeatest? Well Chelsea are top of the table, we're on a run of poor form - would have been great to kickstart an upturn, but it was always gonna be tough. Terrible to say that, given we're at home, with last season behind us, money spent etc. - but them is the cards right now.
Yea, could try swapping the striking chairs on the titanic again but just don't think have the quality up there, we'll continue to struggle for goals, and hard to see that changing short term.
Surprised Lallana didn't start - think he's as likely to nick a goal as any one of them. SG and Hendo sound like below par again. But not sure swapping in Lucas/Allen/Markovic is really going to change things significantly. We've been playing crap since Spuds, have mixed things up, but no real sweet spot hit yet.
At the back though, think we have decent quality - certainly enough to be a lot better than we are. That's somewhere imo we could deffo improve on a LOT if we put our minds to it/know how to/got someone in. Nothing wrong with winning a game 1-0, until a striker shows up. Moreno & Lovren - they have potential, but just not seeing it (well, in flashes). Have said it before though, BR hasn't showed that he is someone that can tighten things up in defense - so not sure were this is heading - but if I was him, I'd be looking there, cause there's more buck there for him to get bang from, than up front.
