Starting Line up:
Kepa 7
Azpilcuetta 7 Rudiger 8 Luiz 9*, Alonso 7
Jorginho 6 Kante 6 Kovacic 7
Hazard 8 Willian 6
Giroud 5
Subs: Morata 4 Moses 5, Barkley 5
Manager: Sarri 8
Team: 8
Gripe of the day: We desperately needed that second goal and we have too much reliance on Hazard. None of our centre forwards look like they will score-no wonder Sarri wanted Higuain.
Positive of the day: The defence showed how much progress they've made since Arsenal-Luiz in particular led the team magnificently.
Pubwatch
Lillie Langrty-West Brompton 9/10
Pleasant pre-match beer at the much improved Langtry. Both the pub and clientele has benefited from an extensive face lift.A very nice outdoor area to enjoy the autumn sunshine and the interior is equally appealing.
The beer of choice was Amstel, which despite being served in a plastic cup was very decent-cold, fizzy, consistent and reasonably priced.
Pleasant staff and waiting time minimal-finally the toilets are on the same level as the pub and very clean...although it did seem like the odd client with weak bladders were suffering with cold-like symptoms-certainly problems with their hooters!!!
Overall very impressive and a worthy 9.
Porter And Sorter-Croydon 7/10
Lagers were fine, bar service was appalling.
