Happy to get a draw out of that. I'd be interested to see Zappa's stats, I feel like he had an Ivanovic level of efficiency with all of his attempted crosses.
Thought Zappa did fine and Drinkwater was excellent. Bakayoko was brutal though. Good point and doesnt look like anyone got hurt.
More control and his family gets to live in Monaco. Can’t hate the man for that. I wonder if this will make it easier for us to deal with them for players. From all accounts he left on good terms. I will take tielemens in 2 years please.
Pretty meh performance from Morata. Solid game no real standout performances. Moses looked awful coming back into the side.
Great game so far. Could be 4 or 5 to 1. Need to get more clinical. A team better than Newcastle might not give us all of these chances. Cesc and drinkwater really do look so much better in a 3 man midfield.
I am also really enjoying Eden’s selfishness this game. One of the few players who needs to shoot more and pass less. Perfect balance today
Hazard was awesome today (as usual) but Drinkwater was excellent as well. Christensen is a revelation, already one of the best in Prem. I love Luiz but it's gonna be tough to get him back in the side.
Just saw us linked with Aubameyang out of Dortmund. He's been my favorite FIFA player this year so that would excite me greatly. A Hazard - Morata - Aubameyang attack would be absolutely incredible. Probably just rumors though.
I would rather keep Pedro, sell Willian, bring Tammy back and play more 3-5-2 with Pedro giving flexibility to go 3-4-2-1 at times. Tammy can be backup striker. We could use another midfielder but RLC could be that guy. If reports of Alex Sandro and juve having a fallout are true that would be awesome. From now until next summer the 2 most important things are extensions for hazard and courtois
So many chances without a goal so far and we should have finished at least one of them but, credit where it's due, Oblak has been incredible.
I developed an affinity for him when he seemed like the only player interested in giving his all during Mourinho's last year, but he's definitely the most infuriatingly inconsistent player on the team.
Barcelona, City, United, Besiktas, Tottenham, Roma, PSG are all group winners. If Liverpool win tomorrow they're in Pot 1 as well. So Barca, Besiktas, or PSG will be the only options in that case. Sevilla are 2nd in Liverpool's group so they could be an option as well.

So we really need Porto, Basel, and Shakthar to be drawn first and hope at least one of them hits on PSG or Barca for us to be a 50/50 with them and Besiktas. Regardless we get them at home first.
