This fawning over Klopp is tipping me over the edge - “Defies logic” ”Shows the little man can win” ”It takes a special man to do something this special” Fuck right off. Excruciating

Aye, I’d be massively worried if the manager didn’t want to have a big say

Reeks of Ashley that sort of business. Get a news article out there about doing your utmost to sign an amazing player, wait for the transfer window to come round. Haggle for months over a few quid for an uninspiring signing, sign Harry Winks and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (on loan) on deadline day. The new Man U

That song still gives me chills on occasions

No need to rewrite stuff, he did very well last season but we dominated 90% of games last season, with or without the ball. He was excellent at breaking up play and showed fantastic stamina game after game. His ability on the ball is identical this season to last, he takes too long on the ball and gives up possession when under pressure. You cannot have a player with his technical ability in central midfield if you want to consistently be a top six team

Why are people obsessed with creating false narratives?

The lad’s a massive talent, got huge confidence and swagger to his game

Win this and the season still has a purpose. Lose it and it’s a wrap, would be no pressure to try change up some systems and different line ups. Hope we can win and get a favourable tie after but let’s just do the job here first. Want to see a major reaction from the players after being outplayed the other night

Surrey is full to the brim with Chelsea fans. Not seen that many in Sussex though

Agree on the first part. I think fans are idiots across the board really in football. I see all sorts of absurd takes from all teams’ fans

I just think that even at his best, he’s a limited footballer. Anything below his best and he’s not good enough for the top half of the PL. Hes got enough application and covers enough yards to be useful when we’re able to play a full press. Take that away, give us few opportunities with the ball and he’s just there as a passenger

Longstaff when we don’t see any of the ball / barely see any of it is a tough sell. Can’t impose himself on the game and doesn’t have the technical ability for the rare spells when we get the ball as he’s not great under pressure. Should really be a sub for us these days but can’t be because of our injuries

Based on the fact Karius is showing some athleticism, good kicking and reading of the game, it’s his to lose until Pope’s back

Credit to Gordon here for actually trying as hard as usual and not dropping his head

Dat 0.00 xG

Why can’t someone brick Arteta’s face in. Someone do the right thing

There’s not many lower feelings than Havertz scoring against you

We managed to complete more than two consecutive forward passes yet?

Comical own goal

Tino’s doing well. We just have absolutely no way out at the moment. No one’s free to release to. Ah, they’ve scored. Well, that was obviously coming but very weak to concede to that

Our press is looking good it has to be said. Think this match will get very fiery, expecting at least one red card

Ten mins in and 90% has been in our half, drink it in lads

Miggy looks a lot sharper, thankfully

Howay lads, feeling confident it’s not going to be a score line mauling. Just hope it’s not a performance mauling. Would love to see Willock on for three mins

Rentokil been called out to Old Trafford, reports of a rat in the building
