Swansea have a few first team fringe players playing tonight

Just saw Vardy's dive replayed for the first time. It's shocking.

Kinda unusual for the same player to be at fault for both goals. However we were so bad with the ball all around.

So is the plan to play him on the left with Madison centrally? Or vice versa.

Knight is playing in center mid with Dewsbury-Hall. As for who is playing well, all the back four and central midfield.

Dewsbury-Hall takes them if that's what you mean. Otherwise it is probably the coach Beaglehole

1-0 Darnell Johnson from a corner.

I don't think his effort should be questioned, he constantly wants the ball. His quality perhaps.

The baby faced assassin

I think he fits Puel's style well. More than Iborra or Silva do. However I don't think he is better than Ndidi or Mendy. He is just as defensive as them, but more physical in how he does it. Ndidi gets a lot of interceptions without needing big tackles. I think he has played himself above Silva and Iborra however. He doesn't solve the issue that only Maguire consistently can pass forward with quality though.

Chelsea miss an open goal...

Huddersfield Town midfielder Aaron Mooy has been ruled out until February with a knee injury. Big blow for them, their best player probably. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46544660

I think our biggest problem is transitioning the ball on the ground. We generally rely on either the full backs running forwards, Vardy flick ons or run the channels or Maguire dribbling forwards or forward passing. We will likely lose Maguire this summer as well. I don't know how good the passing of Benkovic or Soyuncu is to replace it. I think we need somebody alongside either Ndidi or Mendy who's ability to control a game and pass well going forwards to bring our attackers into play. Iborra can do it but he isn't playing and will probably leave.

Gray seems to always play better from the right than the left. Yet he always plays on the left.

We seem to have a bunch of decent CB's with Pascanu, Kinight, Hughes & Johnson. Which is ironic considering we've just bought two young CB's.

HT 0-0. Very little to speak about during the half. Matty James has been the standout player at the base of midfield.

We are probably going to play Silva tonight. For once I'd like to see him play in a midfield 3, which he is clearly much better at than playing in a 2 man pivot. Ward Simpson Morgan Soyuncu Fuchs Choudary Ndidi Silva Gray Vardy Diabate Substitutes: Jakupovic, Elder, Evans, Mendy, Ricardo, Nacho, Albrighton

Sarri uses Jorginho as a deep lying playmaker to start attacks from the back and control the game (Although today he failed) He did the same at Napoli. Also at Napoli he used Allan as a jack of all trades box to box midfielder, who could defend from the front but also create chances and score. He is trying to improve Kante's attacking game to turn him into that player. He seems to have a constant system that he plays wherever he goes.

Is that Sam Hughes on the bench? Coming back from injury

Evans has been awful so far this season in his limited matches. Time for him to step the **** up

Fulham changed their system to a 3-4-3 this weekend and Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Bellerin and Monreal had a field day out wide with all the space to exploit. I think we should look to rotate some players and formation potentially moving forwards, but I don't think this is the match to experiment. We will play with the same team but with Evans in for Morgan. If Gray is fit he may come in for Nacho so Maddison can play centrally.

On the other hand people have now experienced the ultimate high and nothing football related will ever compete. At least in club football. So they don't get as angry because they don't care as much anymore, they are content.

Luckily for him Ricardo is bad defensively as a right back. However he has equipped himself well. I still think he is a CB playing at RB.

Why do I open my mouth?
