Saido BerahinoHas the international break come at a bad time for Chelsea? \u00a0Conte has set his foot soldiers off to their countries with ample amounts of cotton wool to wrap themselves up in. \u00a0Just as you find a winning formula you lose players to be coached in defending by Gareth Southgate. \u00a0Infuriating I would imagine. \u00a0Staying with Chelsea, if Michy Batshuayi was as prolific on the pitch as he was on social media then Conte would have a world beater on his hands. \u00a0As it stands though, he is just another over-rated Belgian not fit to lace the boots of the Belgians that are quite good. \u00a0I\u2019ll let you decide which camp Fellaini lumbers into.<\/p>\n
Talking of players on social media, Saido Berahino has tried to get Tony Pulis\u2019 attention by sending him photos of his six pack. \u00a0Now now Saido, I am sure this works with the girls of West Bromwich, but Tony is a little tougher to please. \u00a0Back to fat camp now lad.<\/p>\n
Lord Zlatan came out yesterday to apologise for getting himself suspended for the post-international-break fixture against Arsenal. \u00a0Zlatan, until you scored twice against Swansea I thought you\u2019d been banned for five games! \u00a0Luke Shaw is baffled by Jose apparently. \u00a0He is not the only one. \u00a0Even in victory Jose finds a way to take down his players in the media. \u00a0Shaw, recently recovered from a sickening leg break, is apparently not \u201cbrave\u201d as he felt a problem in the leg he had previously broken and thought more of his career than to risk it in Swansea. \u00a0The chances are Shaw will be at United long after Mourinho, so he probably made the right call. \u00a0I have to admit to being a little baffled myself today. \u00a0Rooney has more assists than Ozil and Pogba finally did something that was worth showing off that inane celebration.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, if your chairman comes out in public and says anything positive after you\u2019ve been stuffed 5-0, it normally means you can expect your P45 in the not too distant. \u00a0Ronald Koeman may well be double checking the direct translation for \u201cvote of confidence\u201d after being told his board \u201ctrust\u201d him and they are planning to give him a skip full of cash to spend on players in January.<\/p>\n
You might have thought Spurs spent all week working on their new formation – not a bit of it. \u00a0The Poch rocked up to their team meeting less than 24 hours before kick off and told them they were going three at the back, according to Eric Dier. \u00a0Sunday league tactics for the Sunday lunchtime kick off, excellent.<\/p>\n
Jordan Henderson has stated that you get nothing for being top in November. \u00a0I know it has been a long time since Liverpool have had to worry how the top of the table works, but we don\u2019t need it explaining to us.<\/p>\n
Jordan Ibe can be anything he wants, according to Eddie Howe. \u00a0Howe would presumably like that to become a wide man with a decent final ball and an element of consistency sometime in the immediate future. \u00a0Still, even Cristiano took a little while to cotton on to that. \u00a0Mind you, he had Roy Keane barking at him not Jack Wilshere.<\/p>\n
Emile Heskey has come up with a novel concept for Leicester – get to 40 points and take it from there. \u00a0Emile, I hate to break this to you, but I think Claudio was preaching this last season. \u00a0It\u2019s not new news to his boys. \u00a0Though this time, I think Claudio might actually mean it.
\nHector Bellerin is close to a new contract extension, according to sources at Arsenal. \u00a0I\u2019d imagine a true Gooner will wait until he has seen Bellerin\u2019s name signed in blood on the paper before getting too carried away. \u00a0They\u2019ve lost a few who were \u201cclose\u201d to a new contract extension over the years.<\/p>\n
As the Premier League news is likely to get scarce over the next few days I shall refrain from mentioning anything England for the next day or so. \u00a0Otherwise I might start shouting something along the lines of \u201cJagielka? \u00a0Are you kidding me?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
