Didn't really see this comeback into form that Ross Barkley is showing . Fair play to him

Palmer has a lot more about him than Johnson right now. Not writing Brennan off, just an observation. More technical and takes on his man.

Totally different type of attacker though.

Johnson may end up being a CF
He is, and I think we needed someone more like Palmer. Johnson is going to have to get a lot more aggressive and confident, and improve his finishing, to make it as a CF in the PL.

As I say, just an observation. Johnson is obviously talented and I'm sure we won't see the best of him until next season.

I wish they'd make it harder for players to buy fouls when they are under pressure and decide to just fall to the floor under the slightest of contact.

If a leg is kicked, fine.

But a lot of the time a player gets close to the man on the ball and duals physically, only for that player, knowing he is in trouble, to just collapse.

At least we don't hear ex-player pundits trying to justify it, saying stuff like "anticipating contact" like we did a few years ago. If I scare you into thinking I'm about to massacre you but don't, that's not a foul. If you fall over in fear of that challenge that didn't come then you look a bellend but refs were buying into it for a while.

Luton making a real go of it now. Shame Chelsea got that third otherwise they'd be hanging on.
