Get ready for me bashing Conetois

GTFO OF OUR PROMISED KING ALISSON IMO

Mitrovic 3 games 3 goals. 15 goals in his last 20 games. Beast.

The best thing is he is not a typical donkey poacher, he can hold up the ball really well and link-up play which is how Jokanovic's Fulham plays, they enjoy a lot of possession. He can carry PL defenders on his shoulders because of his strength, the league suits him really well.

I know Chelsea struggles at Newcastle, but that was our first win there in 7 years.

Well he's made some goal saving - saves for sure. But I can't help giggling expecting people just waiting to call him out :p

chelsea are going to win the title arent they

Well i notice a pattern for Chelsea recently

2015: win Premier League
2016: do nothing and sack the coach
2017: win Premier League
2018: do nothing and sack the coach
2019: ...

won't even finish top 4, confident of that

People seem to assume that because he is the most expensive GK ever, that he should save everything.

Every Chelsea fan is aware that he isn't worth his price tag and that he needs time to become the GK we all know he can be. He is young and is learning.

I am happy to cut him some slack as long as he isn't costing us wins, which he isn't.

Honestly, those first games this season have been a surreal experience.

I was pretty hyped to have Sarri as our coach because I could finally watch games where we impose our game, hit the first punch, play proactive, don't completely give up the midfield from the start till the end, etc.. but holy *bleep*, I hope I won't get to see any more tiki taka 85% possession of sideways passes, backward passes, and players refusing to shoot and trying to walk the ball in type of games. I could actually feel my brain cells die.

Sarri's Napoli was a bit different and it's not weird even though the tactics were built around the same idea of a very good possession game, but it was different due to the fact that the main strategy was to find spaces starting from the central midfield and move the ball as fast as possible towards the opposition's box using through passes and triangles with fast circulation of the ball and often play it sideways in the last third getting the wingers heavily involved. Counter attacks or positional plays, things were going pretty much the same way. Although, when the opposition was defending with 9 or 10 players, they were obviously forced to become more static when trying to hold on this idea of keeping the ball and as a consequence, the tempo slowed down for big periods of time, until somebody got a glimpse of creativity with a subtle through pass that most of the times led to a victorious goal for the team.

We could say that he would be able to use the same tactics at Chelsea, but I believe it's not that simple considering the squad differences. I guess buying Jorginho and Kovacic was really meant to bring Chelsea's squad capabilities closer to what he needs in order to implement his own view on proactive football. So, expect the team getting better and better at playing more straightforward and at the same time expect 1/3 of the games in a season to not go in the desired direction strategically speaking because (especially in Premier League) there's a trend going for the vast majority of the teams in the lower side of the table to defend with the whole team and try to get points only using counter-attacks or long balls. The pace, the general rhythm is different in EPL and it also took Guardiola one year to manage to understand it and the he mastered it in a slightly different way than at Barca or Bayern, but still his way of doing things (he was repeatedly talking in his first season at City about the teams playing long balls and defending with the whole team and how he needs to understand that, cause it means there's no more control if the ball is more in the air than on the ground, but he did it with patience and hard work). I think this is possible with Sarri and Chelsea too, just give the man some time.

Such a worst time for ManUtd to face Spurs today. Winning against Spurs will put them back on track again

Why is there so much hatred for United? (this usually comes from people who have nothing else to do thoguh)

It's like this team has caused the Holocaust.

I dont hate any team; just pure professional wish looking at the league table that either opposition team drops points.

Helmer is a Liverpool fan

The Admins do not allow me to be a Liverpool fan, that is why I have decided to be a neutral football fan this year and I guess it should allow me to be in good health in case we lose all the possible finals again this season.

So my neutral wish today, game ends at 3-3

Ah, I get it now.
