Originally posted by HKOwen No, we are not It's a colourful phrase and that's all I can't comment on whether Salah looked good as I didn't monitor his appearances as closely as you I seem to recall that when Salah signed for Chelsea for £11 Mill, reading words to the effect that at the age of 21 he was still quite raw but that he will learn quickly.Certainly come on a lot from those days !

Similarities to a player from Norway Anyway, it's all the subjective in my opinion Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Agree we need more firepower. That is a different issue to the posters on this thread who have already written off Sorloth as useless and will never make the grade in PL Nothing we can do about it until window opens so COYP Originally posted by Booted Eagle Unfortunately Chelski can take that risk and not fall out of the league.

the bloke needs a good run of starting... 5-6 games, if he does nothing, loan out in january, it's that simple, otherwise it's more dead wood. This was once a quality forum....

Hodgson's hand is more or less forced and I really would like to see him stick to a team rather than swap and change every other game. Ayew is pony and clearly can't be asked.

Got 15 mins for Norway against Slovenia Friday. Anonymous for the most part, but showed up as an aerial threat, a task he has not been too good at in this Palace team so far.
