I don't want to be misconstrued here; I will wholeheartedly welcome a new striker who will give us another 6 - 12 PL goals, and
our overall chances of winning the league will undoubtedly increase (assuming of course, all things being equal, there are no adverse effects to the team overall with a new face scoring more goals — weakening us defensively, not linking as well with others, dressing room morale etc).
Not exact matches
Overall I am happy with a draw... Yes we could easily have
won the game if giroud had taken some
of the easy
chances he was presented with, but the spuds could just have easily gone 2 - 0 up a number
of times... We could have gone top
of the
league today but with all the injuries at the moment the most important thing is that we didn't lose ground on city... Looking forward to after the international break when we will have the majority
of our players back #COYG
They may not have
won the trophy since 2012 - 13 but with 20
league titles
overall, it will be a long time before any
of these rivals get a
chance to catch up.
The draw has had relatively little impact on any side's
overall prospects
of winning the Champions
League and whilst the Blues have a great
chance of making the next round, to
win the tournament they are still going to have to beat at least two and possibly three
of the top, top sides in Europe.
