EPL Matchday 3

[SM]

What has Newcastle done with the real Joselu?

Cloned him in the same place Fulham cloned Mitrovic.

 

[Cruyff14]

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.

Really? I don't really consider Hazard to be a great leader.

Mitrovic-Jovanovic is a mić made in heaven

You didn't rate his leadership at the WC? I thought he did a great job, personally.

 

[chef]

Really? I don't really consider Hazard to be a great leader.

Yeah he is, hes been great for Belgium(and us).

 

[jd2010]

Yeah I didn't immediately see leadership in Hazard but with the right setup and being the main man he seems to relish it

 

[glenferry23]

Yeah he is, hes been great for Belgium.

Forgot which game it was, believe it was the QF. But the way he ran the last 15 minutes or so, was brilliant leadership. Controlled the ball, composed knew just what to do to retain possession etc.

 

[chef]

Hes been very vocal out on the field for us, not afraid to bark orders at more experienced players either.

 

[Loonerty]

Wasn't even going in, jeez.

Think Barkley would have reached it regardless if Yedlin didn't touch it.

 

[Loonerty]

Ref was shocking. Never a pen, but he evened it out by missing Giroud copping an impressive back elbow from Yedlin.

How Diame didn't get a yellow, or Clark for his challenge on Dave... But Kovacic's first foul gets yellow.

Unusual stuff but glad to walk away from St James with a win.

 

[Loonerty]

Also I might have woken the neighbourhood if Rudiger's shot went in.

 

[Zidane98]

Great work by Chelsea who are looking the goods under Sarri. They are the ones looking most likely to challenge City.

 

[BuffDog]

Defence seems to be a bit of a foreign concept for our boys but god I love the way we play.

Can see Schurrle troubling many teams and Mitrovic is always a presence.
Soo good to see Seri find the back of the net soo early too.

Feels good to be on the board and shaping up to be an exciting season of football especially at Craven Cottage!

Maybe if you stay up there could be a number of defensive signings next summer to improve on what already is a talented midfield and forward area.

Is it a structure or personnel thing? You signed Mawson very late didn't you?

I was massively impressed with you guys 2nd half against us

A bit of both I’d say.

In the championship we could get away with pressing up but we are more vulnerable to the counter in the PL.

Also with all the new signings they haven’t played together much. Mawson is still injured but looking forward to seeing him when he’s back. Haven’t been overly impressed by chambers so far

 

[Flameboy]

Great work by Chelsea who are looking the goods under Sarri. They are the ones looking most likely to challenge City.

Bournemouth and Cardiff @ home in our next two so looks like we might get off to a bit of a flyer.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Hazard wanted out like a month ago probably still wants to leave and you want him as captain? Why?

Seri's goal was brilliant.

When/where did he say he wanted out?

 

[Sozabarus]

When/where did he say he wanted out?

Just after the World Cup. Made it pretty clear he wanted out but that he wouldn't force a move if Chelsea weren't willing to sell.

 

[moomba]

Hopefully we'll do better next season.

 

[moomba]

I still wouldn't trust Hazard as a leader. Too many times he's downed tools when things get a bit difficult.

 

[Sozabarus]

Hopefully we'll do better next season.

Good to see people having a laugh and a bit of fun. That’s what it’s all about.

Reminds me of the “it’s coming home” stuff, just a bunch of guys and girls having a ball, not taking themselves too seriously and buzzing about their football team.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[DarkSaint]

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

Haha plus he has hit 2 posts! That in itself should count as a goal .

But in all seriousness, he has looked good so far. Very very underrated player. I think If he played for a team like Tottenham he would be a 20-25 goal striker.

 

[moomba]

Looking forward to tonight. I reckon United's woes have been overstated a bit and they'll put in a performance.

But hoping they don't, cause the meltdown will be brilliant.
