So far no changes to the way we've played.

Only reason Nolan's challenge on him didn't snap his leg.

Indeed, we need to keep taking the game to them. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Perch gets a yellow for playing tunnel ball. Silly.

Shock in the box when the corner was neither cleared by the first man or floated to the back post.

Love Steven Taylor's movement; from the backwards gliding lope to the forwards trot all the way through to the full on gallop.

Think Taylor just told Ba he could borrow his mask. Must bloody well hurt.

Won't see many better headers than that.

Yes! Great ball, and Jonas of all people with a wonderful finish off the head!

Ba getting Rhinoplasty on the sidelines.

Cisse missed a sitter there... Straight at Cech.

Fookin close there. Boo'd by the crowd booted by the captain.

'twas. Top 4 immunity on display.

Poor final balls.

Lampard going for his customary deflection there.

Healthy start so far* *Hope for you too CT

Nice gesture, but absolutely no sacrifice to himself. A drop in the ocean, but the important thing is the money will be put to a good use.

Someone should do one. It'd be like CT's Ferguson one that he linked, where it's slowed down and shown again and again to flesh it out

Think of all that weight he'll be able to lose!

Don't think Gouffran was ever intended as an alternative to Remy/replacement for Ba. Has been acknowledged now that Ba, our leading goal scorer wasn't replaced in the window. No plan B to Remy. Disappointing but not entirely unsuspected. The strengthening elsewhere has been excellent, streets ahead of what I'd imagined and they're obviously confident that it will be enough to stave off relegation. Hope they're right.

Clinical hole borer maybe? Allegedly and all that, and not that there's anything wrong with that.

Worse than Nacho I would say, simply due to the amount of time he was on the books here. Closest comparison in modern times would be Luque. Both of them must have not given two hoots in training combined. The one positive for me is the association with the avatar of X-I-S-C-O.

Makes you wonder what would have happened if Remy came.

Less pouting, more scouting thanks.

3 points. No injuries. Job done. Excellent debut for Sissoko, good one for Gouffran and they'll all know what this league is about now. Would have snapped your hand off for all of that yesterday, today and tomorrow.
