Ansu starting. That's wild.

Watching that too. Weird watching CL games in daylight.

Inter - Slavia Prague has been dire viewing so far. 0-0. Slavia actually look better.

3-1 Joelinton to star. Couple of goals.

It's not good to watch, but I'm not sure we'd do any better if we pressed higher up the pitch. If you do that, you need players who can score goals because you will be a lot more open to counters. Didn't worry Norwich with half their squad out embarrassing the champions. If we are going to approach games with a we'll lose anyway mentality or if we lose let's not make it by 6 or 7, we may as well stick out the under 23s. I read in one of the other threads that Norwich only had 31% possession though. Seems like they changed their approach to a more defensive one as well. That's a reasonable amount of possession against City. When we played Man City in 2017 and camped on our goal line, the first half saw City with 85% possession. A newly promoted side like norwich didn't approach this game any differently, so far in the games they have played they have approached them all the same, especially at home, their attitude so far has been to have a go at sides. They embarrassed us at their place, they had a right go at Liverpool lost 4-1 but with 42% possession? At home they dont seem to care who's put in front of them. Before anyone else adds anything, I'm never claiming we should be beating this Liverpool side away, but equally im not expecting a newly promoted injury ravaged side to beat the most expensive side in football. But im impressed with their approach to games and that they didn't go into it thinking well probably lose this regardless. Not sure our team can do what Norwich do tbh. They have a lot of quick nippy players in their team. Our’s are more physical. We only really have Atsu and Almiron that can run with the ball. Not sure I'd even want them going that way. Think the structured approach is the way to go.

Nice proper Premier League fixture.

They just seem to be throwing money around without any concerted plan. They're like a poor man's Man Utd in a time where Man Utd are shit.

Not that surprising tbh, always looked a good player. Never really understood why he wasn't used more at Chelsea. Maybe he is more of a goalscorer than a team man? Abraham over Wilson at the Euros? I would.

Spurs 4-0

Six goals for the season. Think I just heard all of Chelsea’s goals this season have been scored by Englishman.

Peach of a goal from Tomori Abraham makes it 2-0 to Chelsea vs Wolves.

Been Colbacktastic so far. Moving into marked positions, cut approximately zero balls out, letting their forwards drop deep on the turn etc. Would think Winks would be the longer term pick but also whom I’m not sure is that good. Alli. It has to be Alli in that 'Fabinho' role. Maddison gonna get a run out then?

ridiculous.

Wish we signed this guy.

Ronaldo on 90 international goals. 109 the record.

Raheem is the boss.

Think we were linked with Berisha iirc

Bruce’s record vs Liverpool Six wins Nine draws Ten defeats Hope.

This season's international Break Schedule. Three in three months FFS. September 7 October 12 November 16 March 28

Enjoyed it last year when it was Nations League.

New deal has to be the main priority for the club for this guy.

Front three link up

Gini 4-2. Classy finish
