We've temporarily moved to 19th. Amazing stuff. What a weekend.

Marsch :lol:

Battering Chelsea, but still manages to look like a massive dweeb. Highly impressive.

He just had one full season under his belt. I don't know what made Chelsea pay this much but he isn't there yet. Huge potential but not that great now.

I would be worried about Koulibaly though. Not showing anything today. Silva is still their best player.
You don't lose the tactical nous and positioning Silva has. He's 37 and the only thing that can stop him is if he starts getting injured as he gets older. I wish we tried to get him when he was available even at his age. :(

Chelsea are a disjointed mess, take Kante out and there is no solidity there. Far too much talent to be this bad.

Looks like Marsh is exactly what Leeds needed post Bielsa. Great start for them this season

Liverpool, Everton, Wolves, Leicester, West Ham, and Man United in the bottom 6.

I don't think Tuchel is overrated. This Chelsea team just isn't that good.

But that's at least partly because he refuses to play a style that helps out his forwards. If you're playing up top for Chelsea and you manage to grab a goal you've done very well indeed.

Is Pulisic still the American golden boy? Aaronson wants a word.

Centre back, centre mid, wide forward, striker.

Leaving it late but we are so far away from having a competitive team.

What position has Struijk been playing exactly? I keep seeing him pop up very far up in attack.

Tuchel's substitutions were way too attacking. No midfielders left in the team apart from Loftus Cheek. Same approach we tried numerous times last season and it rarely works especially away from home. More attackers doesn't mean more attacking by default. First you actually have to get the ball and control things which is what midfielders are for.

How long is Kovacic out for?

Big miss, especially if you are having to start with Gallagher there.
