Potter making those subs is sending out a "look what the injuries made me do" message.

You have no idea how much I miss Riyad.

 

It's like divorcing the hottest woman in the world, having 2 beautiful kids with her, then never seeing any of them again 

Then your mates set you up on several blind dates with women they promise are of equal quality only for Deirdre to rock up, you give her a couple of run outs, but it’s not the same. 5 years later, you just don’t have the heart to even try and replace her anymore

He had to be mardy about it too    Will we ever 'replace' him at this rate?  

To be honest I don’t even blame him for being mardy to be honest.

 

If Pep wanted you and you were going to win a lot of trophies we’d all want that over being managed by Puel in mid table. It’s not like he was being pursued by Spurs. 

 

He still talks favourably about Leicester and we got a massive fee and a PL title from him.

The sub being subbed must be one of the most embarrassing things to happen to a footballer.

German referee Patrick Ittrich has suggested making several changes to football's rules.

Absolute common sense and something virtually every fan would welcome...

And for those reasons alone zero chance that the Godfather (Infantino) and his family will implement any of it.

[coolhandfox]

80 PL goals for Mahrez, will he make the 100 club, maybe needs another season after this or maybe 2 to get there.

[tickler28]

Oh what a surprise.....a side have injuries to 8 players and lose form.....who knew?

They gave him a longer contract to reduce the yearly impact against FFP, same as they did with Fofana and Cucurella. 

 

 

just read they gave 31 year old koulibaly a 5 year deal too

On top of their interest in Fernandez, Chelsea have signed Badiashile for £35m. They seem to have an endless supply of cash. £70m Fofana a bit injured so just go out and blow another £35m on someone to replace him. Their transfer mistakes never seem to have any impact in terms of their future transfer budget or FFP. 

Salary cap limited needed this is ridiculous stuff

Gallagher looks dogsh**

Ah, a new way of cheating - how refreshing.

[David Hankey]

Good to see our old boy, Mahrez, scoring tonight.

[HybridFox]

Vardy survives another 11 games at least. Haaland reset

Unbelievable.

 

Think of the incredible goalscorers in the Premier League.

 

Has anyone even got close yet?

 

I think I remember 7? 

[NasPb]

Shame how much someone like ziyech is wasted totally at Chelsea. 

 

Graham Potter was never ready to step up just yet. Can't manage big personalities yet clearly. A complete idealist as well

 

 

Chelsea look worse than us, if it weren't for individual talent they'd be near us!

Hmmm, whilst Ziyech could be incredible for us, I doubt the (at least) three Chelsea managers he's played for have all made the same mistake. 

[I blame Wellens]

Love the way everyone talks about our Prem win was when everyone else were bang average. Is the league any better than back then? The simple answer is no. Every team is inconsistent and have real weaknesses.

Mind u , not quite know what it says about are current team. The fact that when Marc came on against Fulham  and looked like Messi for 20 mins compared to the rest probably says it all.

Van Nistelrooy had 10, but over two seasons. I think the next best is 8 Maybe sturridge?

When you consider Shearer, Rooney, Ronaldo, Henry, Aguero, Kane, Wright, Fowler… the quality of strikers that have played in the PL. it’s astonishing no one has come close to Vardy.

I know RVN got 10, thats the record Vardy beat, I was thinking since?

[mad biker]

Didn`t Lukaku get close while at Everton ? or was that the same season ?

Since, I can’t think of anyone other that Haaland who I’ve even been nervous about. Didn’t Vardy himself get 9 around the time we beat Southampton 9-0 or did I make that up?

Chelsea's recruitment has been ridiculous...to much money then sense ....from signing Lakaku to now having Aubameyang.

At least Lakaku put a bit more effort into scoring, Aubameyang is just plain lazy
