    You need to go to Sean Dyche's efficiency classes.

    Chelsea going 5 points clear this afternoon seems crucial to their chances.

    8 games left but they have some tricky games, meanwhile the Olympic Diving Team have a piece of piss run in.

    Far be it from me to ask why a black life with superb muscle definition and optimum body fat percentage is being favoured but you have to ask how Davis is starting when you look at his professional record.

    Mason Mount is light years ahead of anyone else on the park here, including Grealish. I would much rather have a good solid British chap with a blue passport like Ben Chilwell pissing every left sided attacking position up the wall than have to watch Marcos Alonso do it any longer.

    In answer to the Kenan Davis puzzle, what I've concluded over the years is that managers love players who do what they ask them to do.

    We piss about in front of the defence too much and when you've got Giroud and his first touch of a grandma with an iPad, it's hard to keep anything going and penetrate.

    Loftus-Cheek also looks like a man who hasn't played for a year.

    Chelsea always fail in games they have all the ball. Least surprising score line ever.

    Correct, if you defend behind us with all 11 then you've got a guaranteed clean sheet unless we get a top corner or a set piece.

    Lamps' Chelsea have been a nothing team since he came in. No plan whatsoever, you can tell he's just setting up drills out of his FA coaching manual and taking Mount to one side to tell him how much he believes in him.

    Willian/Azpilicueta is such a rough combination against teams that defend deep. They’ll drop points there and beat Man City.

    A list of players in his desk drawer with 'Arm round the shoulder' or 'Rollocking' written next to them.

    Kovacic is such an odd footballer. Technically he's comfortably top five in the league amongst central midfielders, but he somehow conspires to do absolutely nothing any time I watch him. It's very tidy, nice to watch nothing, but nothing all the same. He should be Modric.

    No, they join up in July.

    Are we ever going to have to go to Bayern Munich and get thrashed again?

    The transfer window doesn't open until the last games are finished. Not sure if it's immediately after the last final whistle or if there's more delay after that but 'July' is the answer.

    Rudiger is Chelsea’s worst centre half which isn’t a pleasant thought.

    You also feel Villa need a point at least today. Wolves, Liverpool, United and an unpredictable Newcastle in their next 4 fixtures doesn't paint a pretty picture.

    Keita and Minamino start for Liverpool.

    Get the feeling the former needs to shine in this little run of games to the end of the season.

    Keita may well be at the last chance saloon. That being said he tends to come in and start to play well by game 4 or 5 of his run then gets injured for 6 weeks. Rinse and repeat.

    Minamino by all accounts wasn't settling well until before the break so interesting to see him thrown in over say, the safer option of Origi.

    Reece James was brought on presumably to run it out on the counter and keep the ball, and has lost it three times in five minutes through stupid decision-making, that is the sort of thing that costs you games. Fortunately didn't this time.

    They seem to be fielding some little ginger regen as an attacking outlet, bless.

    Minnie finally not being relied on as some BTEC Bobby is welcome to see what he can do. If he struggles today ship the cunt out.

    If Keita could remain fit then he's automatically starting games and I'm prepared to wait it out.

    Minamino I'll judge next season but I'm doubtful. Origi for all his awesomeness has been pretty poor so far.

    We're recording the biggest win out of all the games played so far or we're losing 1-0 because law of averages ha

    Decent enough so far. A lot of keep ball may pay off towards the end of the game.

    Minamino doing well off the ball, but doesn't quite get it going forward yet. A few times him and Frimino have come deep for the same ball. It's stopping Trent getting forwards too so we may well see a switch into Salah if he's at all ready.

    Yeah great heart from Captain Tsubasa and I wish him well in his crowning Europa League triumph with 1860 Munchen in a few years time but let's stop fucking about now and get some Ox/Origi/Ibe specimen on to do something worthwhile.
