This is 100% accurate

Would much prefer that people weren’t allowed to game the system like fuck. How is that fair on other teams? I don’t want some system where we just join the five or six clubs that have it all sewn up. I watch sport because I want it to be competitive and relatively fair. If PSR rules actually made football fairer they’d be great but I don’t think that’ll happen. In all likelihood our only route to success will be about essentially cheating our way there through things that shouldn’t be allowed. Think I’d stop watching us if that was the case

Great job regulating football you stupid fucks. Let Chelsea get away with murder for literally three decades while clamping down on clubs who actually try and build more sustainably. The game is absolutely fucked right now

Can’t argue with this

I’m not insulting them, they’re clearly a fantastic football club in most departments. What they’ve achieved and the way they’ve gone about it is remarkable. However, a 31-year old who’s had a couple of seasons in the second division of the Bundesliga coming to just about the most difficult league in the world feels like a major risk

Sounds on paper like a disaster waiting to happen. Is this the season where Brighton crash?

He’s so likeable

Dubravka is sadly completely done at this level. Trafford is clearly someone with loads of room to grow. If he’s not there just yet I’d be astonished if he’s not up the standard of Dubravka as of last season. Dubravka can’t claim a ball, his reactions are slow, his positioning and being stuck to his line basically gives a striker all the time they need to place it. I have nothing against Dubravka and think he’s served us well but he absolutely has to go this window

What’s his ability like with his feet? Both distribution but also receiving under pressure?

Anyone seen him play enough to make a judgement?

Fairly confident we’ll go far, there’s just too much quality in the squad to not go far and say what you want about Southgate tactically but the players do want to be there and do care whereas I think the “golden age” squad were a lot more selfish

Insipid performance

Don’t think the attacking play (other than finishing) has been that poor, much better than the other day. We’re against a low block who are one up, it’s a nightmare to find space against

He is aye but that was poor defending from him

Bit over eager there Gordon

Disaster for Ramsdale

General adultery aye

I agree on Grealish, he’s a shadow of the player he was before and even then he didn’t relentlessly impact the game like Gordon does. Maddison is a great player but he’s essentially a playmaker and Foden is leagues ahead of him in that role

I like Rooney in spite of his personal flaws

Wew, make it happen

North East Top Dogs till I die

Can’t blame him although there’s a decent chance his career regresses from here. Hope it’s a massive failure for him and Chelsea
