Lavia and Nkunku look good. So our database is not completely shit.

Colwill can stay in London.
Enzo too. Strange one as he looked class before coming to Chelsea. Must be that horrible neck tattoo.

First time really watching Lavia, seems a good one.
Certainly looks better than Enzo and Caicedo

I’ve noticed Chelsea players are very good at falling over in the box under minimal contact.

And the manc ref not giving them anything

They bought him early for their farm team Girona and brought him at the precise moment he was ready for the next step. This is why having another club in Europe is a huge advantage and that’s what Edwards is working on.

Well it's a good idea, and Edwards needs to work faster, I know Brighton's owner has a club in Belgium as well. We seem to be taking so damn long at this under FSG, if it takes so long for us to mull over a player signing - imagine the length of time it would take to sign another club ? It's a joke.

Lavia is looking like a big powerhouse of a DM in this game - we should not have fucked him around.

I am skeptical about that. We are just one part of FSG's overall portfolio where every investment needs an ROI.

Meanwhile the farm teams over at City's are all setup with the single focus of making City successful.

Taylor went to Arabia on that grease tour didn’t he?

Yeah, looking decent, but I prefer Gravenberch.

 

[Frogfish]

thought VAR for offside was semi automated?

Asking about a games earlier today

Starts October

 

[moron]

Yeah, looking decent, but I prefer Gravenberch.

Different type of player, I think I would be happy to endorse Gravenberch a bit more if he had a Lavia beside him. Still, I am not going to fall for Gravenberch based on 45 minutes of a good 2nd half yesterday. We can only make a reasonable judgement on this setup after the upcoming Man United Game result.

 

[KopRed]

Ok, Savinho is a sick note. The optimism resumes.

 

[Frogfish]

Standard PL bullshit. How it wasn't installed in all stadiums and ready to go for season start i'll never know

Because it needed all clubs to agree and that was at the last general meeting (the one Wolves lost the vote to abololish it 19-1)

why bother rolling it out late? let it roll over to the next season. All it will do is have people questioning decisions until october. PL should have said "if you want it this season, you need to get installed, and if we don't have it in time for first game, we wait a year"

 

[Fabio]

this isn't a minor rule change, its changing the entire way offsides are determined. thats not a mid season "tweak"

 

[MomoWASright]

This is by far the worst game I’ve watched this weekend

 

[moron]

Enzo falls over a lot - was that part of his hefty prize tag ?

 

[binomial]

If Neto lasts the rest of the match uninjured, I'd be shocked.

 

[Buddha]

He’s an absolute embarrassment to himself…and 115m to boot.

What a joke of club..

 

[Buddha]

Nkunku is overrated…fact…I’ve never seen him look like this lethal striker he’s sold as.

i thnk most players would struggle to look lethal playing for chelsea atm

what are you talking about - this is a tactical masterclass - loving this.

 

[MomoWASright]

It’s shite. Nothing tactical about falling over and Jackson being shit.

 

[Fabio]

Don't see much wrong with that disallowed goal tbh. Everyones entitled to go for it and contact was minimal

 

[moron]

it's a very tense game - could be a draw and then go either way. We can all celebrate a draw and a loss for either one of these teams - but specially City.

 

[Modo]

Don't see Man C holding on to this.

 

[Fabio]

doku is shite with no end product, but he's a fucking tank

 

[Fabio]

Don't see Man C holding on to this.

i see them getting a 2nd against the run of play.

Agreed it’s tense. Littered with mistakes

It was a straight red. High foot endangering an opponent. 3 match ban.

proper bottom of the table scrap feel to it

Both to be relegated
