How do you know we didn't? Maybe he wasn't interested

He stormed off to the halfway line and was there when the penalty was taken. It was a shocking example from their captain. I haven't been manipulated here. I remember watching the game live. It happened

Points 1 and 2. That's what an agent is for. Point 3... You'd be happy if our players buggered off to the halfway line when we concede a penalty? There is a chance, however small, that the ball might rebound from the GK or post/bar and require an intervention. The more of your players there, the better. Giving up and sitting on the halfway line is pathetic. To suggest otherwise is bizarre.

No , he sat on the halfway line when the kick was taken

So why did Jose do it? Not saying you are wrong, but Sarri isn't alone in this.

If they don't, I am not sure what else he is supposed to do.

Bob may have misquoted, but clearly this is league goals. Nitpicking either way, as the achievement is incredible.

IMO, great player Lord Percy might have been, JT is the greatest CH the PL has ever seen.

1. Gallas threw a strop becuase he wanted more money. The position thing is a red herring. We were trying to sign Ashley Cole at the time, so if Gallas had stayed, left back was off the table for about 8 years. 2. The notion that a professional player being paid millions of pounds can threaten to deliberately derail his own team is "reasonable".........my God. Childish at best. Hugely unprofessional at worst. 3. The way Gallas behaved thereafter for Arsenal showed his true colours...these images were off the Arsenal captain, sitting down in the centre circle whilst his team had to defend a penalty kick

I wasn't having a go at you..... I have heard many people speak about it like it is a major criticism.

Why does anyone give a flying fig what he does or does not write in a note pad? When we went 18 games unbeaten at the start of the season, how many people mentioned it? It really doesn't matter.

Written off already. Welcome to CFC, Christian.

Interesting stats. What is more annoying is the high number in one game(s) though. When you see Dier do about 5 fouls in one game and not get booked. If you commit one foul every game, it is not impropable that you wont get booked. Well quite - certainly not where he has been at his best as Martin alludes to....... Bang on. When he played there for those 6 games, everyone said it was a waste. Now he isn't there, people want him back there. What you find is that opions are dictacted by what pundits / "experts" say on MOTD or Sky. Spot on. Amazing how many people, including just about every "expert" on TV cannot see that at his best for both Leicester and Chelsea, Kante WITH a DM, not as the DM. Drinkwater at Leicester, Matic, Bakayoko (even DD) at Chelsea. Let's be honest, this isn't a case of opinion, it is just a fact which can be cross checked with every appearance Kante has ever made since arriving here.

Yes, then he went off. I didn't say he was particularly good or bad, just that when he went off, we lost control

Had control until Jorginho came off. Ref was awful. Really awful
