EPL Matchday 3

[TubbsFarquhar]

For a borderline Championship level squad, Watford do very well to exceed expectations early in the season before dropping off in the New Year. The PL version of Leeds.

 

[go you pups]

Hazard and Kovacic starting

Arguably Chelseas best starting 11, will be interesting to see if they gel

Wowee Zaha

 

[go you pups]

Big reshuffle that, coach under pressure?

Very harsh on them to suggest their squad is borderline Championship.

Yeah that looks full strength(I'd rather Christensen over Luiz personally), still going to take a little while to really understand how Sarri wants them to play though.

Dave with the arm band again, seems he may be our new captain, deserves it if he gets it though I'd prefer Hazard to.

Cahill and Drinkwater in no mans land.

Lascelles apparently dropped because he was unhappy Rafa planned to play him on the right of 3 at the back against Chelsea

Lucky at the end there but 9 points in 3 games is no fluke! Brilliant start by them.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Watford undefeated.

Amazing goal Holebas just perfect placement to have it come down and in over everybody.

Yikes.
One of the reasons for hope at this stage is that the team is still gelling, so now we swap half the side?

Odoi back from suspension I can understand, and not sure why Schurrle was dropped in the first place, but Bettinelli is third string GK option (Sergio Rico and Fabri ahead IMO), Vietto should be coming off bench, Anguissa was solid last week so dropping him is dumb.

I would have just kept the same team and probably had Schurrle for Kamara which was done, maybe Odoi for Chambers, but the other three scream of reactionism and desperation.

Watford always have a good start and then completely nosedive . Be funny if Woy is the first manager to be sacked though .

Palace look good though.
A win, a near draw today, and a loss to Liverpool is a decent start.

I think it would be funnier if West Ham were to sack Pellegrini.

Good chance in two months time

Their draw takes ages to open up

 

[Bradesmaen]

Fulham Burnley or Newcastle Chelsea.. hmm.

The watford mascot gets payback on Woy.
I mention him because the Palace fans were celebrating when he got the new contract and thought it would be amusing if he got sacked early .

They looked lifeless in their games so far.
Surely he wont get the De Boer treatment?

 

[samFFC]

Seriiiiiiiiii

 

[RossFC]

Holy shit Seri what a bolter!

 

[Bradesmaen]

10mins in and I chose the wrong game

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Morata just denied Dave a goal just before HT.

 

[samFFC]

Plenty of excitement at the Cottage. Glad we are playing open football.

 

[RossFC]

What a player Mitrovic is.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Newcastle very defensive. Chelsea need to break down the structures better but are getting shots just not good ones.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

What a player Mitrovic is.

3 down 12 to go for DarkSaint to be right and prove Jodlington to be... wrong

 

[Bradesmaen]

Chelsea are the new arsenal.. walk it in.
