If we can get a corner past the first man for once Mori will score a header Tuesday

lol, the only time we manage this is when the ball sails harmlessly over everyone.

can't believe we've spent so much on a backup, he'll barely play a game all season yada yada.

He's played every game except united since he came hasn't he?

Pabbers · October 26, 2015

I like him, loves a header.

In hindsight, maybe he should have started against Giroud.

Jimmywhack · October 26, 2015

Well, we are gonna find out now whether he has it or not
Knowing our physio set up jagielka will be out for the season

Over Jags? That would have never happened in a million years!

Well that's the question, but maybe we should be more open to changing the team based on who we play, 2 DM's for example.

Looking forward to him getting a run. Really think he can be the aggressive leader at the back that we need. He's probably the best in the air of all our centrebacks.

But he'll always be very close to being fully fit, in contention and well ahead of schedule.

So far so very good. Looks like he is unfazed by the premier league

You don't drop a player in such a key position like that, though. You need a settled back four and so far we haven't had that this season - yet actually we've looked stronger defensively up until the last few games.

Jags had a poor game against Utd and was shaky against Arsenal. His own stupidity in going for a ball that was already dead has now cost hime (and us) 2 months of him being injured.

I'm confident Mori will step up, and I'll agree with @davek - if Mori performs really well, then Jags will have to prove he is worthy of getting back in the side.

Cant wait to see this world class player get a run of games.

AaronTheBlue · October 26, 2015

hopefully he keeps up his good performances, he'll probably make a mistake or two along the way but that'll be better for him in the long run.

Good chance for him now to get properly used to the league / the team.

MikeH72 · October 26, 2015

I predict he'll be utterly boss and we'll make loads of dead good songs for him, and then a half-fit Jagielka will walk back into the team around Christmas time

WarringtonBlue · October 26, 2015

Please don't get injured now as well...

I thought we were able to press more effectively when he came on because he could brin it out of defence more effectively than jags and he can defend aerially too. Just stay fit!!!!!

I get that mate, just making the point that maybe we need to consider the opposition more, or maybe just drop Howard.
