poor opposition and all I know I know but it is really funny some people spent all summer saying Ødegaard Havertz Saka Jesus Martinelli wouldn’t work and in their first 45 minutes together all 5 of them scored lol
I wonder if we might want to risk resting Saliba a bit soon. Everything is great now but I still that that’s the injury that kills us until Timber is fit again at least.
I didn’t know that Ødegaard spoke Spanish to Teta and the coaching staff god they really are besties that’s so cute
We really went to the Nou Camp in 2016 with an Elneny Flamini pivot
Don’t like this narrative that we were some super soft touch last season, we thugged out loads of tough wins.
50 points in 19 games is insane pace and im not shocked we bottomed out in our first title challenge especially when we relied so heavily on Saliba. I don’t think there’s a lot more to read into it than that.
Tony Adams running the pro Emery agenda he’s a bit shameless these days
Over 38 games I don’t really think it’s feasible to match them in GD, even when Liverpool were going stride for stride with them they never got a closer gap than 5
Southampton home must’ve traumatised Teta he is finished with Ramsdale and Partey off the back of it
Palmer would’ve had a decent ish role for City this season whereas ESR is pretty publicly 3rd choice at best for every role he plays
It’s so funny when people try to call chants cringey and here’s the players loving it lol
I would want to see what type of football Frank plays at a bigger team first
Teta said he didn’t train on Thursday with the team so he probably had only one session and they didn’t wanna take an unnecessary risk
when can we demand a Chelsea title for this amount of spending? Should be winning the league this season nevermind next.
anyone know of good analytical pieces about Osimhen? I’m not fully convinced he’s the answer but I’d love to have my mind changed.
Southampton at home + media stuff I would say
We are gonna be such a difficult out for anybody in the CL.
Maybe our inexperience will show at some point against a Madrid or Bayern but over two legs you’d have a hard time getting much change off us.
It’s very exciting to me that the rest of Europe is nowhere near as strong as they were when we were last in the knockouts and we are so so much stronger. A very very real chance of a CL in this team’s future.
Brentford probably have the best system for deep blocks in the league, I didn’t think they’d go so defensive at home but it works for them.
If the poor attacking form continues through Wolves Luton Villa Brighton I’ll be worried but for only the 2nd time we’ve had our best front 3 im okay with what I’m seeing
how do yous feel about Rice 6 v Rice 8 today
I just think 6 is a way way better fit for him and there’s potential in Trossard 8(or a new singing if need be)
Really curious how we’re gonna play away to Villa that will tell us a lot about the rest of it
