EPL Matchday 2

[carnthemlions]

I was a bit confused watching Chelsea, Sarri's trying to turn Kante into Ramires. I get why Sarri's got Kante in a different role in the sense that he wants to use Jorginho as a distributor, but it's Kante. You can't do that.

It being Kante is exactly why he can.

He'll be fine after he settles in. Heavy pressing high up the pitch and he's already starting to get into good positions going forward.

Weird City line-up. Where is Mendy actually playing in it and who is the RB?

 

[RossFC]

Would Chelsea be able to get away with Jorginho and Kante being paired up at the base of midfield with Jorginho making important passes, Kante making the tackles and then have Morata with Pedro-Hazard-Willian all behind him in a 4-2-3-1?

Agree, Kantes is a pretty versatile mid and will adapt.

Its going to take all of our players(apart from Jorg) a month or two to get Sarri-ball.

Might be a 3-5-2 with Mendy and Bernardo Silva as wing backs.

 

[Magma]

dinho is likely the other wing back

 

[Pessimistic]

Huddersfield fans honestly believe Wagner is/will be the equal of the top soccer managers

What he doesn’t have is the Budget

Nah we wouldn't. Kante still tracks back when we're not in possession, as will Kovacic. But he will be pushing further up and playing box to box, whereas Jorginho will direct traffic and it seems Kovacic will be sort of in between Jorginho and Kante, linking up with the wingers and full backs.

If Hudderfield get relegated either this year or a few years down the line I reckon he should move on to a club like Soton.

If they stay 3 or more they will be better than many. The churn in the epl is horrendous

Would I be right saying the longest a non ‘top 8’ club has survived in the EPL is West Ham at 7 seasons this year?

 

[BRAB]

BOOM.

[RossFC]

[ossie_21]

Nope.

 

[Magma]

brilliant run from mendy. cant wait to see a full season of him.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Today’s matches are so Zzzzzzzzz

Starting to wonder if we need a more competitive league. The cash clubs have kind of ruined it in many ways

One is 1-1 between two even teams, one is 3-0 with some sumptuous football being played.

What do you want out of a football match if neither of those is what you want?

 

[Pessimistic]

Yep. City would have couple of players each worth more than Hudds 11

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

god man city look good

Only the City game is being shown here. Ridiculous game to air - always going to be a trouncing got no interest in watching it. League is becoming a bit of a joke. Would probably watch the other match if it were on
