Longstaff looks a wretched footballer these days. Such a shame.

Perhaps he has the virus and wants to keep it private hence no mention of him?

Murphy and Fraser linking up looks our best bet to create chances for Wilson here.

I'm guessing something like Krafth-----Fernandez---Clark-----Lewis Fraser---Hayden---Longstaff---Almiron -----------Wilson---Joelinton------------

Any idea if Fraser is starting or on the bench?

Havertz looks awful for Chelsea, total nothing player. Werner not a great deal better either.

Lascelles, Fernandez, Fraser Bruce said after the West Brom game that Fraser is available for this one.

Not for me lads, new stadium is a tough sell in any circumstances. St James' is too good and too iconic. Besides, unlike Goodison (badly aged) and WHL (too small), I don't think those same arguments could be levelled at SJP. I think there's potential there to modernise, the structure itself is sound. I know expansion may be an issue, but the addition of 10-15,000 more seats isn't good enough reason to level an icon.

I just think a new stadium would go some way to killing off what's left of the club for me. The stadium is a massive part of it, and not just the stadium but the site it's on too and the surrounding area. We lose a lot by moving. Just ask West Ham fans how they feel.

Agreed.

Stunning cross that like.

Krovinovic is a good player for them. Remember him coming on and bossing it when we played them in the cup.

I loved that goal he scored against Ipswich (I think) in the Championship. That incredible team goal where we tallied up a ridiculous number of passes and he finished on the volley. Sensational.

12 assists too. Impressive regardless of the SPL tbh. Pleased for him, remember a game he played against Man Utd away I think it was. His delivery looked refreshingly good, especially having become used to Danny Simpson (who seems to have benefited from time passed, but is someone I thought was pretty poor here both offensively and defensively other than his occasional off the line clearance).

I'm sure it is, just the XG lot are a proper pet hate of mine, football being reduced into a pseudo-intellectual exercise of numbers and equations. Oh yes, Newcastle could have won today with their XG of 2.87453. Piss off

Clicked on this thinking it may be interesting, but nope. Another trying to reduce football to a mathematical equation. First words "XG". Everything stat-based, dull as fuck. Football yuppies. Wear a retro kit, talk about XG and percentages = certified football journo in 2020.

Pardew-esque.

fyp

I think when it comes to rumours, one does not need confirmation. In fact, that is the very nature of a rumour.

Lovely, reminds me a bit of the one he scored against Fulham away when we got beat 5-2 I think it was.

Probably could, he's better than Rodrygo & Vinícius.

He's talked about it a few times before, quite passionately actually.

15 minute presentation on the Safe Zone incoming at half time.

It's a slide from Lee Johnson's tactics powerpoint with Barnsley, apparently.
