How about we wait until the game starts and see how her performs before we start freaking out?

Jesus Christ we must have the most fickle fanbase in the league. Absolute divas the lot of you.

We played a worse midfield and smashed Man City last season

You'd rather we play the same team that's played the last god knows how many games twice a week?

Everyone is complaining about King, but who else do we have other than Iborra right now? Nobody. We are threadbare in midfield and rotation is necessary.

Yeah we only played three days ago and have another game in another three days, and the busiest schedule in the league. I'm sure fatigue isn't a real thing.

Could swing both ways, depend if their under-pressure manager thinks maybe nicking a win here is more important than not being absolutely hammered at Chelsea.

Not fair to judge his complete intelligence from that. Helicopter blades move extremely quickly, making them very hard to see, and he was side on to the tail rotor, making it even more difficult to see. Obviously logic would tell you to watch out for the tail rotor of a helicopter, but he may have never been close enough to one to really know where they are (many believe they'r much higher up from the lowest point of the aircraft than they actually are).

Southampton have Chelsea away on Saturday, so they will likely rotate.

Unfair on Chilwell. His drive forward created chances for whoever was playing on the left to cut inside (Albrighton for his long range shot for example). I think when we see Fuchs again we'll see how much more static we are on that side without Chilwell legging it around. Like others said, one bad pass and he's rated marginally better than Ulloa who literally only wasted time at the end of the game, whereas Chilwell gave 100% as always and played the full 90'.

Nah, they have an average player, manager and staff salary of around £29,000.

It's part of the charm!

Ah, he'd be hard pressed to mine a full BTC now, it's not economical at an individual level after taking electricity costs into account. Still, wish I'd dived in a few years ago when a BTC was worth like £100.

Pretty jelly of that. Poor James' Bitcoin would now be worth almost £100m...

Well rotation will be needed eventually, but 3/4 days is normally just about enough rest, so I wouldn't expect mass changes for this game. Probably will see changes for Palace, depending on how they perform.

Thank god it's not. We might get away with not much rotation after 3 and a bit days of rest.

Enjoy too much at times.

What are you talking about? Before the first goal, we'd had like 4 efforts from a similar area as where Mahrez scored from. The build-up to our second goal was a 13-pass sequence: Chilwell -> Schmeichel -> Mahrez -> Vardy -> Simpson -> Iborra -> Chilwell -> Maguire -> Morgan -> Mahrez -> Iborra -> Mahrez -> Albrighton -> Gray And since I'm prepared to actually research I'll tell you that infact that goal was also a 34 touch sequence, with no Newcastle possession involved at all. To further push my point, every single player (bar Ndidi) was directly involved in the buildup to that goal, either by a pass (9 players) or by scoring it (1 player).

Seems one of the midfielders is ready to stay back when Simpson and Mahrez both go forward. Often see Ndidi on the right-back position helping Simpson when another team is breaking. Squad seems quite fluid at the minute.

I read Huth's ankle injury is fine, but he's picked up a different injury now.
