Chelsea fans after losing a game : The manager didn't play player B or we would have won Chelsea fans after winning a bogey fixture with the first clean sheets of the season : Player B should have played and shouldn't be kept on the bench

Top 3 right now. Maybe Brighton would falter later in the season. We are 3rd and need to create distance with the ones behind us. Hopefully we do against Spurs and United Winning Everton away and dropping points to Spurs home would feel pretty anti climactic ngl

There's a difference between a better goal scoring team and a better attack. Chelsea have the best attack in the league. Brighton still are the best goals scoring team because most of their players can chip in with goals. They don't have the best attack. Long term, I do see Chelsea becoming like Brighton with other players chipping in with goals. Henderson already has.

No one told you to take our "title challenge" seriously. Focus on your team And btw, we conceded so many goals because we didn't have a midfield and the team is learning Alonso's OOP structure. We have conceded one goal in the last 2 games

If your definition of a good game is GA then you aren't gonna be convinced by him at all

4 out of their 5 conceded goals came vs Chelsea and we had Gusto in midfield. Terrible odds 🤣

Alex Scott will be blue and is the game changer. We need a floater around the pitch that can collect from deep + run it down + shuttles round the park ( wijnaldum ) like I said. We’re the new Liverpool. Deadliest front 3 itl, flying fullbacks, Caicedo - Scott ( Fabinho/gini)

You don't blame him even if it's his fault. You say "he trusts his teammates to do the job off the ball" instead

Except your fav customers

Hurzeler developed the perfect balance between attack and defence and it took him 2 full seasons to do it. Xabi in his first season destroyed his defence. And we are still on course to find the balance ourselves but we still remain the only team to beat Brighton this season.

How the hell was the linesman so sure that Ndoye was offside? That was too close to stop the game before letting the whole attack play out

Regardless of the type of person he is, I always believed he is an elite manager. But at the same time, having a squad with players bought as a result of breaking the rules and with money the club wasn't legally allowed to spend certainly helps. You know what else helps? Having refs in your pockets.

Wow

Why is it suddenly only about goals? Assists don't matter? Chance creation doesn't matter? And it's not just Alonso, literally every manager prefers Neto in the team. Why do you think that is? Because he works hard at the opposite end of the pitch as well. Estevao will get his chances when the team starts to deliver more consistent defensive performances like yesterday. Once Alonso is sure the midfield and defence are good enough to not concede more than 1 goal per game, Estevao will get more gametime. Until then, he has to do well in cup games Next season if we have UCL, and hopefully we would, Estevao would naturally play more. December has a lot of games. Estevao will play then as well because Alonso will have to rotate.

Proving the point of PL being the most competitive

System? Was a back 4. And these are exactly the type of performances the team needs to put in before Estevao can be introduced in the lineup. More defensively solid performances and you'd see Estevao more

By this logic, City fans shouldn't be celebrating anything at all given they have the most expensive team for over a decade and their players are bought using money they were not legally allowed to spend

70% win percentage and he was struggling?? He just inherited a team with a bunch of egos and superiority complex

Rogers contact on Garner actually comes from Garner kicking the ball onto Rogers feet who is also going for the ball. Pushes Rogers feet upwards and it grazed Garner. From the other angle though, Garner literally is directly stomping on Rogers
