That is quite a stark realisation!
I personally don't think they will beat Chelsea away but then again I thought they would lose to Sunderland and we all see how that played out.
I think we will lose to Brighton, probably a 1-2 loss.
I really don't get this 'build the team around him' talk. He's technically pretty good, but I don't think we should be building a team around him. He has obvious quality but I question whether he can do it on a consistent basis in the PL.
