Some good points about todays game but it was more "Xmas pass the parcel" ish. Giroud ripped off and now has a badly sprained ankle I think, so Morata to the rescue...………..oh st.

Apart from winning remind me of the other good point because I must have missed it?

If RLC is fit for the next game I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the left with Hazard false 9. Mind you I could do a better job than Morata and milk turns faster than I do.

We did the double over Palace. Someone we usually drop points against.

I'm quite positive about how we controlled the game for 85 minutes yesterday. We looked so comfortable. Sarri will bring in a new face in Jan and then will have the summer to bring in the players he requires.

Christian Pulisic signed for 58m. Is he any good?

We'll have to wait and see. Decent enough, young, potential. But then that sums up most of our academy.

This however, gets us a lot of business in the American market......

Imagine that's a big part of it - he also is more adept on the right than CHO/Hazard - So think he's in to replace Willian/Pedro - In which case i can see him getting game time.

Not this season though, we've loaned him straight back out to Dortmund.

Apparently we wanted him straight away, but Dortmund wanted him to stay until the end of the season. We would have had to pay £80m to get him now.

Good player. Hazard replacement?

Dortmund are having a great season , Top of the league, & a plum tie in the Champions league too.

He's not going to want to have the shame of Europa football i wouldn't have thought.

People are saying that, But Hazard is at his best on the left generally - Pulisic is better on the right. He's a more natural replacement for the ageing Willian/Pedro pair we currently have - If Hazard does go you will see a player bought in to replace him.

Well Dortmund have a free pass to the QF, so of course he wants to stay.

Pulisic: "It's a privilege to have signed for such a legendary club."

Agreed.

Whilst not legendary in the annuals of time - Pulisic was born in 1998 - Assuming he started watching the Premier League when he was 6 or 7, we've been the most successful club in England since he's been watching it.

Yep. He knows what he's on about. The only club in the capital to have won the Champions League ;-)
