The CL is a glorified FA Cup set to music

How have Wolves not managed to be 2-3 goals up. They've had 3 breakaways.
City could have had 5.

City do seem more open at the back compared to last season. Worse both in possession and pure defending on the counter. I'm still assessing Rodri's impact as a shield, compared to Fernandinho.

Aren’t their youngsters about three/four years older than ours?
It isn't just the age, they have been out getting experience at a good level from early on. It is now showing the benefits. We just want to chuck ours in and wonder why they might not be ready yet.

Chelsea's youngsters are so so much better than ours.

Mount looks the best of the lot. Absolute player.

Loftus-Cheek to come back & Reece James to come in too. Fair play to them & fair play to Lampard. They are a great watch too. Hope they win the league.
I think Lampard is a fantastic coach. It is his methods that have made this lot look good. Mason mount and Tammy Abraham would have looked shit at United.

TBF though, you’d have to be a pretty shite team to go down to Southampton these days and not score at least two goals... :(

You should watch the game with your eyes open maybe.

chelsea showing how to score goals against southampton. it's a bit radical: you attack and have shots on target

I actually think So'ton play really well under Hasenhuttl, it's just there is a real lack of 'quality'. Structurally they're decent and as I type they score... He's a decent manager

Obertans #1 fan.
Mount is 20, Tomori is 21, Tammy was 22 on Wednesday and Hudon-Odoi is 18 and Reece James is 19.

For you lot, Greenwood is 18, Gomes is 19, Tuanzabe is 21, Chong is 19 and Ligard is 34.
Yeah, so there you are. These lads are years older. It’s massive at that level.

Nope. Tammy similar age to Rashford, Mount to chong and Odi similar to Gomes

Edit: there's only really Greenwood that ironically is the one with the best performances.

Chong & Gomes, who get nowhere near out first team are older than Hudson-Odoi, and a couple of months younger than Mount, both regulars for Chelsea.

Theirs are just better than ours.

If we were hypothetically having the same season Chelsea are having right now, I wouldn’t be questioning OGS and I’d be interested to see how it’d develop. There would be some fecking frustrating results along the way but at least we’re fun to watch.

Not to mention Abraham is younger than Rashford and is having a much better season
