I've begun to be very excited about all we're capable of. I'm very sorry to all on here who spend good money following the team around the world, because that's a fucking death sentence for us.

Will we win the the League? No, but we will have  fun whilst not winning it.

Maybe teams will counter our rope-a-dope strategy by copying what we do. Draw us on in the first half and then bring on their five "finishers" off the bench.

Liverpool's subs bench yesterday was: Conor Bradley, Cody Gakpo, Trey Nyoni, Mamardashvili, Robertson, Freddie Woodman, Calvin Ramsey, Rio Ngumoha and the delightfully named Wellity Lucky.

So two players I've never heard of (Ngumoha was the 16 year old kid who scored last minute at Newcastle), two keepers and Calvin Ramsey made little impact on loan at Preston and Bolton in last two years.

I don't think people realise how good our squad actually is this season. I'd say it is third best in the league behind Arsenal and Man. City. Think people just rate Chelsea's squad because they sign so many players each transfer window but none of their subs could do anything when put on in high intensity match yesterday.

I didn't rate the signing of Lindelof but he's been brilliant in all three prem games he's started so that is what you want from backup player, comes in to start regularly at congested part of the season and the quality level dosen't drop at all.

This is a point I've been thinking about, that it's all well and good having a huge squad of players, but if you don't manage it properly you can make otherwise capable footballers look like competition winners when you occaisionally throw them on the pitch, usually just to dig you out of some hole, and that the very fact Chelsea's squad is as large as it is actually hinders them in competition with us.
