Crystal Palace were a great team to loan to under Vieira.

He tendes to play them and play them in their natural positions (Conor).

But with Hall - he is very very young I think he's still 18.

He wouldn't really have played for Chelsea yet and certainly not at left back if Cucurella wasn't such a disgusting footballer.

But equally - Chelsea were never ever ever gonna go down. So it was a free hit.

I can't see Palace starting Hall that much in midfield especially because they'll be midtable to bottom third somewhere and with pragmatic Woy.

Hope he does well but unless he turns up and is the best player at Palace I doubt he gets loads of minutes.

Certainly possible, Roy loves to lean on the vets, think it might come down to what formation we settle on. Tyrick Mitchell is ****** up at the moment, so there may be minutes available at LB early in the year and if he shines he might be able to carve out a permanent role. We're a bit thin on the wing right now and I wonder if he could get some run as a wide player in a 4-2-3-1. If he can show something with both feet, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get minutes at RB either, since we probably have the worst group of RB's in the Prem.

The US women's team are a team you can root against tbh.

Glad they are out.

I'm not even particularly English ( as in go back 1 generation and im not, go back two generations and my grandfather is being chased through a field by black and tans) but still that tea drinking celebration made me want row to Boston with fat Trev and start selling overpriced tea to the c.unts.

Dang. I left the City-Arsenal game with City up 1-0 in 92 minute and think my parlay was busted but nah I am still in it.

Arsenal already has silverware this season

At least Havertz and Kovacic were still terrible.

Arsenal tucked their tails in the end. Typical.

The only club that really stands up to Man City are Chelsea and we are a Spanish B team.

That Vieira bloke who scored the winning penalty. Such a good pen.

But he was so bad in the minutes he actually had. Everything backwards because his body position when receiving the ball was always wrong. Like every single time.

My new pet peeve is players receiving their ball with their back to the touchline when in wide positions and under no pressure. If you do that you can only go backwards or sideways or dribble the ball inside.

I get that at that top level sometimes that is the pass and the safe option to somehow encourage the press to then by pass it but it still weird. Weird and coached.

It is a weird one because you literally won't get a 6 year old kid receiving the ball like that in his first ever match. It is completely unnatural. Naturally your head and so your body when wide will be facing your opponents goal when your team has the ball. A completely subconscious thing.

Reece James is starting to do it now (back to touchline). It is infuriating. Cucurella does it too but in his defence Cucu has completely forgotten how to play football.

Honestly, watch it. At the top level only it occurs.

To me it is just bad football.

Some of the stuff you see these days I don't understand and a lot of it is technical stuff like that.

I'd like a top coach to explain properly why they do it.

Whew that Miami match was a ding-dong battle though.

What do you think of Olise returning to Chelsea? Seems like it is picking up steam on the market.
