Just like I predicted yesterday, we dropped points to BHA.

Swapping Mount and Pulisic for Kovacic and Hudson-Odoi killed out attack. Hudson-Odoi was completely invisible and that was the worst performance of the year for Kovacic.

We also only made 2 subs. What about Bats on for Abraham or Lamptey on for James? James is a great player but after those first two subs we could have used a burst of pace that Lamptey can bring.

Honestly, I'm never gonna be mad dropping points because of an absurdly good goal.
We should have done better with our possession and chances in the first half, and didn't adjust very well in the second half to BHA's changes.

We've only taken 1 point this season from teams placed 14-17 when we play them. That's awful that we keep dropping points to teams barely above relegation spots.

Interesting stat, James Maddison has created more chances (150) since the start of last season than any other player in the Premier League.

Ayoze Perez scores against his former club followed up by Maddison picking the top corner from distance like he's known to do.

Both goals resulted from horrific giveaways by Lejeune. Should sub him off before he gifts Leicester another one.

Chelsea are going to score every game. They are also going to get scored on every game.

That was a stonewall penalty but sadly Mike Dean exists.

Newcastle down to 10 men due to injury and having used all of their subs.

Almiron should be a lesson to all top European leagues in not paying big money for MLS players. Could have found equally as effective players for well under what Newcastle paid.

Adams and Davies has worked well so far....

Granted I guess neither of those were big money.
