Re: Why Vincent Kompany was sent off at Chelsea
FWIW, I think his rant is because it's one of those events in a game where a Chelsea player bundling over a Burnley player is never going to be a penalty and (second) yellow card, and we all know that to be true. So rather than the ref wilfully 'cheating', he's displaying (massive) bias, and it's d...

Muric does help that partnership though - for a start they don't have to receive the ball 5-10 yards from the goalkeeper for most of the game and know that anything in the 6 yard box Muric is going to come for. Just look at the positions that our defenders take up in possession since the swap - it'...

I'm not sure the wide players should be thought of as wingers (chance providers), more as finishers.
Assignon and Taylor are more likely to provide crosses.
