Hmmm, other than one or two moments I thought Chambers played quite well, it brought back memories of his first season with us when he looked like a good player. Kolasinac is never going to be Baresi defensively but goodness me some of his touches going forward were a joy to watch. And I can't remember muttering 'useless Welsh tw@t' once the entire game. Quite remarkable.
Even Xhaka seemed to be in the right position more often than not. In fact, other than Welbeck being utterly dire for the first 40 minutes or so, I don't think anyone played badly that I recall.
It was almost like not watching Arsenal.
Chatted to a Boro fan recently who was adamant that if we gave Chambers a run of games at centre half he would prove to be the answer we’ve been looking for but admitted that he will be probably made a scapegoat and sold before excelling elsewhere.
Was supposedly their best player last year but then they did get relegated....like West Brom and Johnny Evans who we are interested in.
Makes you wonder wants going on...
Holding was playing for Bolton reserves when we signed him
Chambers was at Boro who got relegated
We’re linked to Evans who will suffer the same faith.
We signed Mustafi who Valencia was desperate to get shot of
We’ve signed a Greek kid who was playing for team I never heard of.
No surprise the back line has been rubbish.
