Lets take it to the bet thread. Who is sacked first, Sarri vs Mou.

Should be a 2-3 goal win for City, that Chelsea squad is not looking too good

that's one bet I'd be happy to lose, but sure

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Aug 05, 2018 2:43 pm

Nah i think Sarri will do well, specifically because the expectations will be lower.

Chelsea fans will want good football and they'll do better than last year.

Both things are pretty easy to achieve IMO.

That's what happens when you don't field a natural DM in your team.

by BusterLfc Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:18 pm

Sarri will do good IMO, though he will need some time to implement his style into this team. Since 2004 Chelsea almost always had only defensive minded coaches so this will be a new thing for them. No one expects anything special anyway considering the quality of players Chelsea has now.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:21 pm

Meh Sarri is gonna flop. he doesnt have enough quality for that style in EPL

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:24 pm

thinking that Chelsea will survive in EPL with Jorginho in front of the defense rofl

not even Kante will be enough to save them. Foden is getting a free run at the back 4 everytime he gets on the ball, this is quite bad.

Need the Belgians to save Sarri (Hazard and Batshuayi)

Morata looks like he'd be at Sevilla or Valencia by next season

by urbaNRoots Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:30 pm

If you watch the replay of the goal, it's quite telling how badly Jorginho/Barkley (lazy) and Fabregas (no where to be seen) backtracked

Morata is not good enough for the ambition of both clubs

Jorginho

WE BACK Proud

being hospitalized for the season and waking up to see Mourinho sacked may actually be preferable to being awake through the season tbf

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:51 pm

The tempo of this game has been very pre-season, absolute walking pace. With that said Bernado Silva has been great.

by Nishankly Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:52 pm

If you look at Liverpool's pre season, it usually works the opposite, a good preseason and a good league finish happens together. Obviously it's a coincidence but I'm happy we rather win 5-0 in pre season against Napoli rather than losing 5-0 to them.

by Firenze Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:52 pm

I'm still incredibly annoyed they signed him and we missed out tbh

would be perfect for us

inb4 Mou would ruin him

by Casciavit Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:53 pm

Bernardo running the show as a CM. Almost impossible to take the ball off him. Proud

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:54 pm

I do not like how Mahrez plays btw, slows the game far too much for someone whose supposed to be a difference maker in the final third.

by Nishankly Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:54 pm

Silva I think was instrumental in getting city back from 4-1 to 4-3 as well in our game last season. He's a good player, just needs to start regularly at his position, difficult considering Silva gets the freedom and deservedly so.

to me the signing didn't make all that much sense to begin with, honestly

another case of them signing someone so we didnt IMO
