Mourinho settling for the draw by bringing on another defender for Willian?

 

[fez]

Its a shame that Mourinho instils his massive levels of douchbaggery in 90% of the teams he manages.

 

[Bucket]

Yeah, all those people in Bentleys with road rage must make life tough!

There's barely any of that, it's actually more people scrapping over the prawn sandwiches in M&S.

Haha, I imagine there's a real rush on comfort food like that after a poor result!

My sister shops there (no prawn sarnies though)

I was 50/50 Courtois vs Cech in my FF team. So glad I went with Cech!

Me too....until Cech concedes 4 tomorrow and then picks up a long term injury!

 

[robfosters]

How can Mou say they played well. They was dross imo.

 

[Robbo]

Good to see Chelsea getting off to a rough start.

 

[JohnnyG]

Swansea's No.20 is a decent player.

 

[mmj_uk]

Montero was their best player for me shame he had to go off injured.

 

[JohnnyG]

I didn't realise he was injured and was surprised to see Routledge replace him, I thought it was tactical but it makes sense now.

 

[Robbo]

That's a rather contentious disallowed goal for Norwich.

Totally agree - that overhead kick seemed to be perfectly ok

Stupid decision

 

[Azza]

Only Southampton, City, Spurs and Chelsea coming up...

Looking forward to our game today against the Hammers, should be a good game. Just sucks that im at a wedding so will have to be content with MOTD highlights. Although will be paying attention to the commentary whilst at the wedding, will have to do it sneakily though as the missus will kick my nuts into space if she catches me.

Hoping for a 3-0 win.

Buy a smart watch and use twitter.... Not your fault then if it keeps going off

It says it was cramp on the BBC so he'll be available next game:

It'll be interesting to see how Newcastle cope with him, they'll need two men on him if he plays like he did today.

We should offer Real Sociedad a straight manager swap. Let them have the joy of the next Barca manager before he becomes so expensive they cannot afford him.

Bottom 3 after 5 games, not that it will matter if we are bottom three at christmas it's not like he will get moved on. John Stones will be knocking on the door if he has any sense.

Liverpool team for this afternoons game with Stoke is expected to be: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lolvren, Gomez, Henderson, Milner, Ibe, Coutinho, Lallana and Benteke.

Stoke are without Shawcross and N'Zonzi so should be an easier prospect to face than last year but they've been our bogey team for a few seasons so I'm expecting another tough game. Would take a draw tbh.
