    I love Diego. Genius footballer. Just not something you see as much today is the point I'm making. Much moore full court press now as it were. I've watched 100s of hours of him.

    Oh yes - I just mean - its a great video (I know some of it near the start is shite resolution and damaged film ) worth a full watch.

    He would have been an absolute monster today - try and press Maradona ( haha ) - that was exactly what he wanted... Only way to play him was sit off and assault - sometime 2 or 3 players at a time. .. wouldn’t work today off course - most games for Napoli would have ended with about 3 opposition players.

    Just incredible to think of a 20 year old doing that at international level.

    Here’s another... Here we see his defensive qualities too.

    On another note - Chelsea look like they are starting to score a lot of goals.

    0:3 v Burnley


    77 mins

    Ziyech & Werner both score and Ziyech has an assist too

    Mendy almost did the same to Ashley Barnes as P*ickford did to VVD. The only difference is that Barnes' leg/feet weren't planted and as a result he rode the 'challenge. It's too late for us, but the FA need to outlaw that 'feet first' challenge from keepers, or at least make it known that if they do it, and they don't get the ball, they'll be sent off and will give away a penalty.

    I put it on another thread the other day. Chelsea have had 8 different scorers already this season. If that was Ziyech's first, that makes it 9. They also have more options upfront than us. Both Werner and Giroud on the bench.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Southampton 2-0 up against Villa.

    I'm rather loving how congested and level things are getting just below us in the Table. Doesn't count for a whole lot as we aren't even 9/10 games into the season yet ("a quarter") but it does put a tiny touch of pressure onto slower starters.
