I thought Forest were going to come up with a lot of momentum, like Sheff Utd and Leeds Utd did, but they looked woeful today. Zero shots on target, barely got out of their half. Looked like they were playing a back 6 most of the game. Lingard looked like the only player who wanted to get a foot on the ball and go forward, and he wasn't great either. They're in trouble if that's their only outlet.

Lampard looks nervous as feck 
Forest will struggle.
Newcastle will be top side of league.
Leeds scum did well to come back.
Villa look muck.
Liverpool have habit of getting the result when needed.

He doesn’t know who he wants to win today.Lampard looks nervous as feck
Fulham came up a few seasons ago, bought a whole new squad and looked shite too. I reckon they'll take a while to gel and by then it will be too late.
No suggestion we were ever even considering him in the first place
Cooper is (usually) very good at the defensive side of the game, but had always been a conservative manager. At Forest he was able to pair that with a more expansive style where they could also play on the front foot. It's going to be interesting to see how he approaches the PL and I imagine that he'll probably want to revert to his older approach, but it's not easy to shut out sides in this league.
Spent about £100m and won 7 games
Which in itself is an issue.
Not a great result today.
Then they’ve done a great job.
Chelsea have Kante and Jorginho, with Kovacic on the bench. Why do they want to spend £70m+ on De Jong?
Exactly. I wanted us to sign him in January and I don't recall seeing any reliable links whatsoever which is madness considering how excellent he had been for Lyon. Same situation this window but many will still spout the line that "there's no one else out there good enough" when obviously there clearly are.
Kante and Jorginho are both in the final year of their contract and both showed signs of regression last season. Kante is also very injury prone.
Same here. Although I'd say the number of midfielders who can pass the ball to a high standard is very limited.
Is there a UK service that you can watch all PL games this year? Or is it spread between different suppliers?
i just voted yes.
Wait, petition not out yet?
What did I vote for then?
*checks*
Ah, right, Micah Richards to take the job after Pep leaves..
One of my mates in the UK uses a fire stick or something like that. Might be IPTV?
What's with the plastic flags at Goodison?
Different channels. Sky and BT share the game. Not sure if Amazon Prime have any this season.
They don't.
"Atmosphere"
Ffs Duncan Ferguson confidently predicting a 2-0. Jamie Redknapp clearly desperate to mug him off but tempering his tone because he's worried big Dunc will chin him.
Oh I know, he was one of the obvious ones we really should have gone for though. Was class at Lyon too, good price, exactly what we needed
Nice to see Chilwell back
Statement signing ! Statement signing!!
Weird back fetish.
Nothing but a win for Tuchel and Chelsea...anything else is much more of an embarrassment given Everton situation and large money spent.
If I was them I would too, not very often a quality CM is available for a reasonable price.
Think Kante and Jorginho both have less than a year remaining on their contract and Kovacic has injury issues.
Chelsea by a few goals here I think.
Lampard looks like hes about to throw up
I didn't think they were that desperate!
It was an underwear ad that did it for me
Need Chelsea to win convincingly today. Anything less than that and Boehly will probably go hell for leather for Frenkie's services.
Agreed
Damn, i winced when it showed a close up of Anthony Gordon. That’s one ugly fecker.
So weird to watch Everton without Richarlison
They know they're in for a tough season
