God I hate Chelsea

The line has to be somewhere. I don't get why people think drawing the line somewhere else makes any difference tbh.

Will be interesting to see how well it does in a crowded situation

Sterling has been asked to test the new offside system. Fletch though, is as seemingly blind as he is easily startled

He's not 'Mr Cool' nor does he 'have ice in his veins' if he's already missed a pen, Fletch, you fucking gimp.

Wow, absolute bullshit that. Not a pen, not a retake.

Pope for Allison and Schär for Saliba and I feel like that's been my XI forever

A goal or assist in 2 out of every 3 games under Tuchel. If he can get back to that under Howe we're laughing. Wouldn't have him over Maddison though.

Wouldn't go that far, but I'm definitely in the pro-mount camp.

They are. Again TCD keeps excluding chances from set pieces though.

Brentford are basically the opposite of us at the moment. Creating barely any chances but scoring most of them.

Santon as well

I seem to remember Glass being extremely one-footed but not sure if I'm picking that from a dormant memory or from my arse.

Aye, let's lock the thread, even if we win our 2 games in hand it'll only put us..oh

Optimistically though, if this is Liverpool's form turning a corner, it could just as well mean that Man United's will too in the other direction - their form has relied on some pretty once-in-a-lifetime form from Rashford.

Of course you do, it's why data science is as popular as it successful. If you want to track trends and make the right changes, xG is obviously very useful.

Rename it The Stadium of Dwight

I'm not acting like anything, I've watched every one of their matches and haven't seen them play well once aside from Palace away, not even exaggerating. Even when they win it's unconvincing, my point is that their knack for squeaking out results while playing badly, often from behind, isn't sustainable.

There's another universe where the wheels fell off last week

I've watched them all season. They're definitely shit. Kane and Kule have carried them completely and they've been incredibly lucky, scoring from very few chances and riding their luck. Meanwhile 100% of our dip is due to poor finishing imo.

Needless to say I had Salah and Nunez in my FPL team only for the double game week last week

Yes Marcus, let that self doubt flow through you, let it consume you

This match should be yet further proof that nothing in football is predictable like Utter chaos as always

Hahaha what a little chisel rat
