Was one point he was getting fouled and despite being halfway hauled down to the ground still managed to belt an inch perfect 50 yard whipped pass over to the wing.
Gutted the bicey didn't go in.
I want to see Murphy and this lad start every game til the end of the season - Ritchie the "slow the game down/hold on" sub and Atsu the "if we're desperate" sub.
They'll create a shitload for Slimani IMO.
Seriously though, why would a striker who is chronically shoet of goals, short of confidence and has shown he can only score scuffed goals take a penalty?
Surely Merino should have been taking it?
Either way, pathetic pen and even worse chance missed towards the end. Yes, he's here cos Ashley won't spend real money but I don't understand how praising him for being so shit is going to suddenly give him any talent.
Actually think we'll see a Ferreyra/Doumbia sort rock up about 4pm tomorrow, who'll amass virtually no game time due to being unfit and crap.
Either that or we'll have a late bid for some shite Championship striker like Gestede or Nouha Dicko knocked back as "derisory" at about 10.15pm.
Chelsea have been in first gear all game and still given us a pasting. We're luckless, gutless and clueless and I'm so fucking bored of it.
FYI I'm not blaming Rafa, this is 100% Ashley's fault.
