Lukaku should've buried that header. Good play from Holgate. Schneiderlin on for Barry.

Lukaku is pissing me off today. He's been strong on the ball and used it well. But, he's not attacking their goal. He should be in the box to pick up every loose ball from Hennessy.

Slowest foot race ever leads to a Barry foul on Benteke.

Hennessy saves Mori's strike. Another near goal. Could be up by 4 or more at this point. Great first touch and strike from Mori

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Offside. ?

Not a yellow in a million years

Remy v Mori has me a bit worried. Getting into some bad positions there.

Barkley unlucky not to score again. But, we are forcing saves. Any time now!!!

I just mean that they are working hard to stop us from playing. We need to nick one to open it up. Two great chances from Ross and Mirallas just now. Should be up. Looking better now

Disjointed so far. They're working really hard in defense. If we nick a goal before half, that'll do us well. We will tire them out as the game goes on.

It looks like they're going to try to occupy us out wide. But, it also looks like we should have the run of their midfield.

It's the same XI as last week. I get it. But, I think Barry will struggle to run with them today.

Was just coming in to post that. It's almost as if our fellow supporters hold him to an impossible standard and let a narrative of him being a failure totally subvert the reality of the situation...

If it's Kessie, then I think we do.... He would be an excellent signing.

I voted Davies. But, I just saw this and loved the juxtaposition (considering some of the shit thrown Rom's way):

Just wanted to point this out ?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I'm fucking dying here!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Schneiderlin start on Sunday. I'm not sure it's the right decision, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Maybe he's a basketball fan or maybe he has another player/reason for wearing 23. Growing up, seemingly every kid wanted to be number 23 like Michael Jordan. I always liked wearing 13 to be transgressive.

I feel like a deal for Kronos would take way too much time to work out.

We need Niasse to bang in the goals, whether they stay up or not (for the record, I think they will. Silva will make them tighter defensively and they will nick some results). But, if Niasse scores, we win either way. Either they stay up and buy him or they go down and 1) somebody else buys him or 2) he turns into a total revelation and Koeman brings him back into the fold (I can't ever foresee him doing that and it's comical, but still .0000001% possible).

Your words are pure poetry to my ears. Preach!

This would be an amazing signing, but I can't see it happening.
