Morata looks terrible, wow

Seems Chelsea are cursed with signing strikers on record fees

First Shevchenko, then Torres, now Morata. He's absolutely done at Chelsea. Either they overpay for Martial or hope for Batshuayi to 'explode' cuz they arent getting anywhere near top 4 with Morata as starting striker.

liverpool just destroyed napoli 5-0. team was on fire. alisson played his first game and never had many saves to make but his distribution and passing from the back was top class. mings just punts it long from any ball that comes to him but alisson looked to pass the ball when ever he could.

Always one of the best parts of his game. I mean he's Brazilian so he's naturally quite good on the ball, but his vision in starting plays from the back is a big reason why we were able to get the jump on our opponents. With the weapons Pool have in attack, I think they'll make very good use of his distribution.

Legitimate Neuer successor as the no 1 keeper in world football.
Neuer will be around for a while though, after all.

by McLewis Sun Aug 05, 2018 2:36 am

No doubt, I still think Neuer is at the top when it's all said any done, injuries not withstanding and such. Will always have a soft spot for Alisson though and I don't think Oblak gets half the praise he deserves. Current generation of keepers is exciting.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 2:47 am

Courtois is 26 and he is the best GK in the world.

hala @me when Alisson does something relevant.

Proper smash and grab win from Milan. A shoe in for a CL spot in Serie A tbh

by S Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:23 am

They beat Bayern like 4-0 last year in pre-season and played almost their strongest squad today bar their new arrivals

Gotta love dat pre-season knee-jerking as always drunken

by Nishankly Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:24 am

Courtois is not even the best GK in England lmao

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:29 am

England is standard for absolutely nothing lmao. De Gea, the supposed best GK in England, craps himself in CL and in the world cup. absolute trash. Courtois has been the best in Spain, the best in england, proved himself in CL and World cup. dont get any better than that

by Nishankly Sun Aug 05, 2018 3:33 am

Best in Spain when 2013? Lmao

Watching the highlights between Liverpool and Napoli, Liverpool look damn scary, could have scored 10 goals easily with the chances they had.

by Nishankly Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:49 am

@Urban

A) It's preseason
B) Even last season, We missed atleast 7-8 clear cut chances per game. Its usual, we don't have any good finisher in the team. Salah also missed atleast 2 easy chances per game. Mane and Firmino suck at finishing.

Ignore him, anyone who watches PL regularly knows that Lloris is better matter about De Gea Laughing

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 12:13 pm

Lloris is a fraud lol

Thibuuuu has been suffering playing away from his family all this time. they will reunite soon enough

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Aug 05, 2018 12:14 pm

The only fraud here is Courtois I'm afraid.

Teams with amazing pre-seasons usually never have a great season.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 12:26 pm

the deal is already all agreed but Chels are being c**tish about signing a new keeper. If they keep him, we get him in january for half as much or next summer for free.

by M99 Sun Aug 05, 2018 12:38 pm

Are we just gonna ignore how De Gea and Courtois played in the same league for four years and De Gea outperformed him every season just because of the World Cup???

Yep, by Nick's fantastic logic Pickford is a top 5 GK in the world.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 1:25 pm

He is not, at club level i dont think he has played at that level. Whereas Courtois has
