No losses in six, must be best form of their season. Seems like Pochettino has finally got them into a way of playing which works. They’ve such a strong squad, on paper, and always have great sub options. I’d be leaving Jackson out for a bit if I was him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be leaving Jackson out for a bit if I was him. I'm not sure they are? I genuinely feel its mostly all been done on reputation, probable potential etc. Take Madueke he's 22 only really played in the Eredivise scored 11 in over 50 appearances. It doesn’t really feel much different than what our 19yr old Minteh is doing now and people are already saying he should probably go out on loan again? Feel the same about lots of their players, Mudryk, 40 appearances only 4 goals, cost 80m and is 23, we got both Barnes and Gordon for less than Mudryk, both English and both give you value with goals. Enzo and Caicedo pair of them cost over 200m, Brighton must be pissing themselves as they have 9m Gilmour who's looked better than the departing Caicedo. I just feel Cole Palmer has carried them all season and if he'd have been missing they'd be right down in the bottom half scrapping around with Bournemouth, Fulham, Wolves etc. I look at that entire squad, the amount of cash they've blown, see hardly any return on players with resale value, and potential I see Levi Colwill and Palmer. And I'm not digging out your post btw, I just don't think they're as good as they've spent, could have been done with less than half the money, and likely had better success.

Even if they charged a small PPV fee I would personally pay it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess there's no reason TNT couldn't be showing all 3 games that evening across their various channels, presumably they chose not to purchase them or weren't given then option if the game was moved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Chelsea score well on xG, which suggests they should have won more games. They've played pretty much the whole season without Nkunku who looked the most promising of their forwards. I'd expect them to be back next season, esp if they stick with Poch.

Hence the on paper/what they have paid to assemble the squad comment. My observation was triggered by seeing they had the likes of Chilwell, Sterling, Mudryk, Badiashile, Chukwuemeka etc to bring on yesterday. Quite a contrast to our usual pick and mix options.

There fans will be expecting a good performance as a minimum. Ideally we wouldn't play on the counter against this lot but that could be the way this once.

Always an absolutely honking game down there (as usually at home) too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get 4 points from that lot they've gotta chance of finishing above us or man u I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one or two games too early for Big Jo though unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I don't think their two wins means a whole lot. Palace are a team that never really finds any form, they could win two and go winless for about four quite easily. We need to play with confidence and not like we did in that first half against Fulham. Isak, Barnes and Gordon on fire will mean goals for us.
