At this stage Derby had more points
Premier League Gameweek 9
- Thread starter Deery
- Start date
So pleased for Hudson-Odoi. Great finish.
They're content with that though because the 'reward' money for finishing bottom means relegation isn't really a punishment anymoreThey’re stuck in that no mans land where they’re too good for the Championship but not good enough for the Premier League. It’s like in Fifa where the world class difficulty becomes too easy but moving up to legendary is a step too far.
Its a good job Chelsea have about 8 attackers out cause with Werner and Lukaku in particular it could be about 20-0.
i got to say you got that prediction thing going for you.
Norwich are such a stain on the league.
Any money they take points from us.

But what doesn't compute is how Brentford are doing so much better when they went to the PL after a play off and Norwich fecking won the thing.They’re stuck in that no mans land where they’re too good for the Championship but not good enough for the Premier League.

3-0
Too easy. 3-0.
That's a great chip
That was sexual
Chelsea look great pretty much week in week out
Nice goal that.
They didn't last week against Brentford.
No urgency, no passion or hope from Norwich.
9 games in, so it can be turned around, but it's not looking good

I don't think I've ever seen a prem team this bad before.
Like they won't even get to 15 points.

Academy day!!!
It’s amazing how despite Norwich being so deep, Chelsea’s full backs are still getting space; their 9 is coming deep allowing runs from midfield and their back 3 looks completely secure on the break. Dominant and very well organised against a low black. Walk in the park.
Jealous.
Jealous.
They have their good days and bad days, struggled vs Brentford and barely laid a glove on City.
They'll be right there when the trophies are handed out though.
With every match our rivals play it shows continuing with our current regime is madness
Big consolation about the score is that Jake Humphries is a Norwich fan.
Fair but I'd say 90% of the time they do.
Sure it's an exaggeration cause every team has off days. But pretty much 90% of the time they look like a well oiled machine
Are Norwich usually this feckless? I understand not having the quality, but it feels like they're not even trying anything. Just a complete lack of personality all over the pitch.
What happened to Norwich in terms of their overall play?
I know they finished bottom last time but they made a good fist of a lot of matches(ala the win over City). Their lack of quality got them most weeks in the end but they had a good go at it and played excellent football. This is unrecognisable.

Let's be 'avin ya Delia!
I know people would say it's just norwich, but this is still very impressive from Chelsea, cuz we know one team this Norwich side will trouble no matter the form they are in.
The same as Aston Villa.

I hadn’t been paying the table much attention yet this early in the season so I just realized that with this result against Norwich, if Liverpool win tomorrow we would be 8 points clear of United. 
For some reason I thought you guys were only 2-3 points behind us.

Where are ya?
Do feel that Farke has taken Norwich as far as he can
Aye it’s strange but some clubs coming up just have a way of playing that catches teams off guard. Look at Sheffield United when they came up, really good first season before eventually getting found out in the second. Although Brentford seem like a really well run club and may make a better go of it than Sheffield.
I still don't understand selling Buendia for £35m, yeah it's a decent sum but he was their focal point, without him there's very little in that team. Surely at least trying to be competitive is worth more than £35m
It’s crazy how people don’t watch games but go with the score line or what the media says. Chelsea have had a lot of poor games this season don’t be fooled.
Then when you are told it’s not true, you then say ok 90% of the time they play good. You are just making things up as you go. Few weeks ago Tuchel was under pressure losing back to back games.
Grass is always greener and all that.
We’ve had 2 really poor performances (City & Juve) and one poor 20-25 minutes against Brentford. So not that many.
Definitely haven’t been at our best yet this season for sure.
They are very solid which helps, so even when they aren't fluid they don't give up goals but honestly as a whole this season in 12 games their attack has struggled vs City, Brentford, Liverpool, Zenit, Juve and Villa in the Carabao Cup. The Southampton game was also on a knife edge till the red card.
Similar to City when the attack doesn't click, sometimes its chance creation, sometimes finishing, the defense is so strong it papers over the creative struggles, when it does click they just brush teams aside like Spurs, Villa and today.
In this case the grass is objectively greener
All three goals by Chelsea's academy youngsters!
When was the last time our academy youngsters scored 3 goals in PL?

I like him a lot but if he can channel Lampard a little with the goal like he did today it’ll really help him and the team. He’s still so young and he’s a clever player too, so I can see him really developing in this area
While he’s not really set the world alight at Villa, Buendia was so vital for them last season. He wasn’t just fundamental in terms of creating chances and goals, but their general play was heavily channeled through him. Without him they not only lose his quality in terms of creating chances, but also his ability to raise the levels of those around him.
I really think they should be utilising Gilmour
Sheffield United away ?
Remind me why was Tuchel fired by PSG?
