I agree that it was bad acting involved but I have seen much worse acting than this for much less. Kounde throws a ball with full force into Alba's face with full force from 1 meter away. It was a clear red card.
Valhovic has 16 league goals in 18 games this season. Break the bank
Conte doesn't seem to agree.
We have plenty of cover for the centre and the right but nothing for the left, haven't since Vertonghen left.
Rodon out on loan and a specialist LCB makes sense to me.
That’s obvious no? What is he plays well and really develops? I’ve seen enough in games to think he’s a better option than Sanchez, certainly more consistentWhat's the point in loaning Rodon?
I like him but I can’t see us doing anything at that position till summer.
That was not a graze - but rather a half miss and it did hit his face. But never mind, if you don't believe it was a red we just differ.Lol..... Full force in the face!?!?
It grazed him at most.
I would think that if a midfielder isn’t on the list that Ndombele and Lo Celso might in fact be in Conte’s plans. Lo Celso has been injured and you know Conte won’t play Ndombele consistently until he gets to his fitness expectations, but maybe he wants to incorporate them when fit and healthy.Quite surprised a midfielder isn’t on the list? Lo celso and Ndombele clearly aren’t fancied. Skipp and Hoj can’t play every game.
Odd I’d say CM is in more need than the forward area.
Well he doesn't get a sniff here.What's the point in loaning Rodon?
100m EUR now, beaten Ronaldo for goals in the Calender year (I know its not a real thing but...) who beat the record last year.Valhovic has 16 league goals in 18 games this season. Break the bank
Got your point and can agree with thatI'll accept this argument because it's fair and a bit more balanced.
The problem is his argument:
Can you see why people are going to disagree with this?
I bet if he had a bit more balance and pointed out his good bits people would have been a bit more understanding, there's always going to be opposition to one sided myopic bias, it's lazy and uncessary.
Well he doesn't get a sniff here.
Seems to be behind both Sanchez and Tanganga, and Romero is back soon.
Either way I imagine 2 of Rodon, Sanchez and Tanganga are gone in the summer.
For next season: Romero, Dier, New guy in first XI
Davies and one of the three as cover. Rodon needs to play if he is to stake his claim and survive the cull.
A prem loan would be good for him.
That was not a graze - but rather a half miss and it did hit his face. But never mind, if you don't believe it was a red we just differ.
Of course he still has a lot to prove. He's been here for a few months and has been injured for half of it.
BUT I think it's very obvious to see (even in the limited minutes) that his ability on the ball is above all of our defenders and he provides that aggression and front foot style that Conte's teams need. Yes he is card happy and he will need to control this, I'm sure he will with age and experience.
I think it's weird to downplay his quality and try to criticise others for being excited about a clear talent who, if nothing else, is a massive step up on Sanchez and will make us a better team when he returns.
That’d be ideal but I just can’t see anyone stumping up for him.maybe if we could off Doherty in Jan? He’s not HG, right?
You said it just grazed him yet the ball changed direction up on impact. It was not just a "graze" (I am not denying that Alba acted well but he was clearly hit by the ball)The rulebook is one thing, but that ball did not hit him full or hard.
