Premier League Gameweek 1

[Lee565]

Somehow boehly has spent 800m and made the Chelsea side on paper (and on the pitch) look worse than before he joined????

If the liverpool side from the back end of Last season show show up today then this will be 3 or 4 goal margin win, think the influence of potchettino has been over played, he has not looked a class manger since his last full season at spurs and is possibly in that mourinho category of living of a past reputation

 

[Withnail]

Yeah, the keeper cleaning out the striker after he's gotten his shot away has been given one time (Nketiah last season), and basically never before or since.

Was it one 'the game didn't like'?

 

[V.O.]

Spurs are fecked if they're relying on Richarlison for their goals.

I don't particularly rate him, but given how much a striker that's better than him would likely cost, I think they're better off using the Kane money on the rest of the team.

If he could score goals in that dire Everton side, he should be able to do a job for them.

 

[lysglimt]

Well - after watching that game, I can say that Spurs wont be anywhere near top-4

As for Chelsea, it is puzzling that a team can spend so much money and still have a team that look mediocre.

 

[BusbyMalone]

He looks more like a squad player, as opposed to a player you'd want in your starting 11 every week.

I just don't think he was a great signing. Said it at the time. Definitely not for £60m, anyway. And he always looks like a moody bloody sod

 

[always_hoping]

realistically he’s the second best manager in the Prem

Based on what, winning low hanging fruit such as the J1 league and success with Celtic?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

How do they look worse?

Robert Sanchez is clearly an upgrade, Colwill now at CB and they've got a more natural forward in Jackson compared to Havertz.

 

[Berbaclass]

I really don’t want them to sign Orban. Could be a game changer for them.

 

[Superunknown]

2-2 is a good result for Spurs. Brentford away is not an easy place to go. Think with all of the drama around Kane, they've done well to get a result today.

 

[DJ_21]

That Chelsea team looks awful.

 

[erikcred]

Richarlison's been tragic

Never worth 60mil.

His entire contribution so far in a Spurs shirt is that equalizer against Liverpool last season and they even spursed that up.

 

[Mike Smalling]

Chelsea is such a mystery to me. Starting with three players I've honestly never heard about.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Looking at the Chelsea lineup. Looks shite for all the bazillions spent.

 

[saivet]

That Liverpool team is extremely attacking. If Liverpool don't dominate possession, I think they'll lose. That said, Chelsea's team doesn't look great, the midfield in particular looks weak.

We have lost there 4-0 last season and finished comfortably in the top 4. Brentford lost 2 home games in the last season. They are really good and Spurs have a completely new system. I think they did quite well considering all of this. I think it will take a bit of time but it could work out well for them, although i would also say that a top 4 finish for them would be surprising.

 

[SATA]

Easy win for the scouse i think. That Chelsea XI looks horrible on paper for all the money spent

 

[MayosNoun]

Mudryk should be facing TAA.

I’m absolutely baffled by that decision.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Booo, poch going 5 atb at home. Wanted this to be a shootout.

 

[Superunknown]

At the time, I thought he would be a decent depth/squad option. 1 league goal last season is very poor, though. He's not going to be able to get the stats that Spurs need in that particular position. He's a decent rotation option...if he actually scores this season.

 

[Judas]

Poch is a real charisma vacuum. Imagine being stuck in a lift with him.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Chelsea-Liverpool fixtures has ended in a 0-0 draw many times over last few seasons so wouldn't be surprised if that happens again today, especially as it's first game of the season.

@Amadaeus does this every night

That Chelsea team certainly looks like it could score 0 goals, but I'd trust Liverpool to get one or two. Plenty of quality going forward.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

Why does Chelseas starting 11 still look kinda meh despite all they've spent

because of Sterling

 

[Redfrog]

Mudryk should be facing TAA.

Mudryk looks sh*t.

 

[Orange Tree]

If Spurs is looking for a new PL proven GK, our Hendo is still available.

 

[Robbie Boy]

No white text

I know right. Couldn't believe that myself.

He's clearly the best in the league ffs!!

 

[Mb194dc]

I don't think we played 5 at the back in pre season?

Yes we've probably wasted the most money on overpriced transfers since Bartomeu at Barca. Looks like we won't stop now either.

 

[Redfrog]

I trust Chelsea to score 0 goals. They are that good.

 

[Robbie Boy]

That Chelsea starting eleven looks fairly wank.

 

[MayosNoun]

Mudryk looks sh*t.

How would you possibly know?

He’s barely had a chance and benched again.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

The Premier League is broken if Klopp can field this lineup with 6 attackers and Trent at Stamford Bridge and get a result.

 

[Mike Smalling]

I trust Chelsea to score 0 goals. They are that good.

If you wanna score 0 goals, having Sterling up front is a great start.

 

[DWelbz19]

Eh?

 

[JuriM]

If you wanna score 0 goals, having Sterling up front is a great start.

So it will probably end up like 2-2 or 3-3 at least, neither are defensively that solid yet to play for a 0-0 imo.

 

[Woodzy]

Refreshing to see a Chelsea fan with an honest assessment. From the outside looking in what Chelsea are doing with the transfer strategy seems ridiculous, and I feel is going to feck your club up in a big way going forward.

 

[The Firestarter]

Every time he played last season he was shite

 

[Judas]

Forgot about Peter Drury! Nice refreshing change. Give it a few months before people are complaining and wishing he’d shut up and calm down.

Better than the geriatric Tyler, but he is a bit much.
