“Venom”

We pick the bones out of a raucous visit to Stamford Bridge: How did we manage to get out of there with a point despite that performance? (Spoiler: Richarlison and Perišić.) Are we sometimes too quick to absolve Antonio of blame? What worried us about the performance and why did so many of the players look spooked by the occasion? How impressive is it that they pulled themselves together for the big finish? Will Ivan and Bissouma change the game for us this season? Does Romero need to chill out just a bit? And which bit of Tuchel theatre does Tom describe as a "war crime"? We move on to preview the Wolves game and ask if there's anyone we want to see come into the XI, while encouraging Charlie not to make any more cocky predictions. Finally: lovely culture picks!
