    Bringing someone on just to take a penalty is a disgrace, just as it was when Southgate did it to Sancho and Rashford.

    Probably just about a deserved win, but performance really not good enough.

    I think my first experience of somebody coming on to take a penalty was Jamie Carragher against Portugal, because he had been scoring them in training (why?), and he muffed that one. Has anyone collected the statistics on it?

    And there was me thinking shame Mark Noble doesn't get a game for them anymore (in Antonio's absence) as he was always pretty solid from the spot.

    I'd love to know the stats too. I genuinely can't recall it ever working.

    I can see why you would do it in a shoot-out, where you might need more than fiver takers, but was there nobody else out there who could have taken that?

    Seeing as all failed examples appear to be English players I'm going to need to see some non-bottling nation control examples to be convinced it's a thing.

    Presumably outside of shoot-outs it's a fairly unusual thing for someone to come on and immediately be confronted with taking a penalty. I bet Milner has done it at some point and not missed.

    You’d think Spurs have lost half their games with the way people speak about today’s game and how it’s must win. They’ve won 3/4 and beaten Man City lol

    I know he scores goals, and probably will today, but I will never understand how Marcos Alonso gets so much game time

    Multiple managers have loved him for some reason. Chilwell five times the player.

    Even more odd after Chilwell had the game of his career in Portugal.

    In other news Tuchel's Chelsea must be one of the least interesting sides to have ever played the game. So, so dull.

    They look awful going forward without Werner dragging people all over the gaff. Lukaku has just managed to finish every chance he’s got so far

    That's a pretty funny goal. Think the 'keeper probably saves it as well [off the post, natch] if he dives rather than rooting himself to the spot.

    He is as well. Man-for-man any back five/six they can put out is absolute fourth place, but he has trainer-coached it into a proper unit.

    Chelsea have a very easy run of games after they play Man City next week until the end of November. You could call City easy too based on their previous matches against Tuchel

    Most of those could be more credibly described as Betis exports.

    Did 'Emerson Royal' ever even turn out for Barcelona?

    Apparently so. Reddit said he's capped for Brazil so £25m is a fair price, too, so probs best to not judge him too early.

    I make no comment as to his quality as a player, I have barely ever seen him play, I just question the idea of him being a Barcelona export.

    Does Militao ever get a game for Real these days? Him not stepping up to be mega somewhat surprised me, he looked quality for Porto.

    Chelsea v City shaping up to be quite tasty next weekend. Are City in must not lose territory there? Now that they have a seat at the table Chelsea will probably lose their miraculous ability to beat City.

    Think they then go to Anfield the week after as well.

    We're brilliant at big games / games where teams think they can touch us (hi Spurs). The bigger challenge will be the usual November-February ream of games against shite.
