Chelsea away, scriptwriters dream

5 of those games are against the top 6, 3 against parachute clubs. And we are cursed at Preston. Disappointing but not inconceivable.

They should probably have just pit them both, but it would have lost Lando a few positions that he would’ve struggled to get back (given he couldn’t overtake on fresher tyres). But Oscar would’ve won the race yeah.

Because Simms hasn't been scoring?

Nah Lando only needs 3rd In theory it should be fairly straightforward. Qualify top 3, let Verstappen and Piastri fight it out for the win and bring the car home 3rd.

Rudi doesn't work out wide. He comes inside far too often. If Saka is fit he comes straight back in and it's a complete 50/50 between Eccles and Rudi in the 10 for me - Eccles will bring more energy, Rudi doesn't quite look match fit, but he still has the ability to create moments Eccles...

McLaren were never going to split the strategies. Imagine if they only pit Oscar and not Lando, and they finish P1 vs P5. Or vice versa. Basically decides the championship.

He was through on goal and then turns to try and shield the ball away from goal? Milan never looks comfortable in the few 1v1s he’s had with us, it’s a consistent thing.

Why did he run past the ball then lol Like I said, still a pen, but Milan didn’t help himself.

I’d only want the big hitters who are obviously too good for the league; Hackney, Fatawu, Philogene, Hamer etc. But I suspect we’d find better value abroad.

Why is he trying to get around the ball when he needs to just take a shot? That’s my point. Yeah it is a pen but I think that’s why the ref didn’t give it.

He did go down at one point and was holding it but got up fairly quickly and played on. He's obviously managing something, I'd be surprised if it means he misses the next game though.

Yes you can; double jeopardy only applies if the foul is made when attempting to play the ball (e.g. missed slide tackle). Pulling someone back would still be a red if it's DOGSO.

Anyone got a replay of the pen? I thought it was a foul but Milan seemed to want to get a pen rather than take the shot.

What’s been said about tats?

Not sure that’s the greatest analogy since the break often builds a substantial lead only to be reeled in with only a few k’s to go!

That’s a natural consequence of creating the most chances. Our xg is 35.1, we have actually scored 47. Our rate of converting chances is exceptional.

Good servant to the club. Suspect this will be his final season here, deserves a good send off at the end of it.

I don’t think we are- we’ve scored more than expected.
