Chelsea spending £35mil on Drinkwater was just as baffling as a lot of their most recent deals

Dreadful first touch, dreadful shot, dreadful keeping

Dreadful keeping

Really good goal

Completely forgot Barkley was at Villa Feel like we need to ressurect the thread of "players you forgot played for that club". The other day I found out Danny Welbeck played for Watford in the Prem, must have completely blanked that out

His assist for Trippier was sublime too

I think with hindsight it is but we have to remember at the start of the season we had Bruno,Tonali, Joelinton,Willock,Longstaff, Anderson and Miley for centre mid positions We had no idea our season would be decimated by injuries and a ban for our £60million new midfielder

No one except Boro fans consider this a derby game

If Eddie plays Burn against Forest a month after the same team rinsed him it's going to be very concerning

Ogbene is absolutely rapid by the way, I think he was clocked the fastest player in the Prem earlier this season? It's quite rare that you get a right footed right winger these days who is just a pace merchant to get to the byline. Most wingers on that wing cur back in which would help Burn

With everyone fit/not suspended, do we reckon Barkley would get into our midfield? Was seriously impressed with him yesterday and in recent weeks

I thought Luton pressed us much better than Villa did. Villa played a high line with little pressing whereas Luton pressed us and the only way out was if the ball stuck to Gordon, Murphy or Almiron in attack and then it was basically a 3 by 3 race

Tindall shouted to him to move to the number 8 position with Miley being the deepest midfielder mid way through the second half

Also Tim Krul got a great reception during the warm up

Certainly putting up a better fight than Burnley and Sheff Utd. Seem to have the right mix of pace, strength and team work and then a bit of star quality with Barkley

He made a really good one last week at Fulham. And one at Sunderland And he was brilliant against Liverpool

JDT may be out of a job by the time this comes around

Yeah for their 2nd I think it was Longstaff flaked a challenge with Barkley and they went up the other end and scored

What's Tom Davies done to his hair

What are Burnley doing? Why are they just happy to sleepwalk back to the Championship? They've given Kompany free reign of transfers and style of play and they're terrible. Surely they should be looking at Luton and thinking why are we not putting up a similar fight And when they go down who are they going to sell to make some money? Maybe the keeper will be picked up but they're just going to be selling these random players they've bought from central Europe back to them for little profit. At least when Southampton went down they could sell their youngsters for top price I think if he wasn't Vincent Kompany he'd have gone ages ago and it baffles me how he's got so much power there

Remember he scored a great solo goal against us at SJP about 10 year ago from our corner. Colo needed to just bring him down Thought he was the only midfielder on the pitch who seemed in control

You're allowed to post whatever you want but I think you have to acknowledge that Eddie and the club make mistakes and people call them out for that I'm not sure how you could watch that performance and think at the very least Howe should have taken Burn off straight after the penalty decision. And that's being generous

I like you 54 but you have an incredible ability (possible naiveness) of not seeing obvious criticisms of the manager and club across a number of threads.

Hope Tino doesn't get fed up
