Is defending getting worse in the EPL or is attacking getting better because there seems to be loads of goals going in on a weekly basis?
Defending standard is woeful, tbf. Even amongst the very top sides in the league.

Good to see Burnley getting a thumping. Hate their well drilled paramilitary unit 'get balls in the box and get amongst em' style.

We bring in Fred, Chelsea bring in Jorginho. We retain Matic, Chelsea bring in Kovacic.

Their recruitment is on point. Technically proficient individuals allow you so much flexibility.

Chelsea will finish comfortably in top 4 I reckon.

I wouldn't say comfortably, but they weren't as bad as people thought when the transfer ban was hit on them. Their structure is better than Spurs, United, Arsenal, etc.

Pulisic reminds me of how Robben started his career at Chelsea: little impact to begin with, then blossomed in October, November.

Looked like the player behind clipped him to me. Not a dive.

Chelsea are going to be very dangerous when Lampard gets the funds to strengthen his roster. If this is how there playing now in 2 seasons they could be where City are now.

All those comments after they lost vs us, the level of delusion just by watching that 4:0 scoreline, you have to laugh really.

The door on the top 4 is closing fast. Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Leicester will take the spots, probably in that order.

Watching Chelsea is depressing. They are levels ahead of us in every department
It's amazing how our fortunes have gone after that 4-0 first day.

Most Chelsea fans thought they were in for a tough slog of a season, while we fooled ourselves we weren't as sh!T as we feared.

Don't rule Arsenal out. They were 3rd, 2 points off City only about a week ago, and have a home banker tomorrow.

We're already well off it.

Home banker? Palace won at the Emirates last season.
