Premier League 21/22: Gameweek 8 (Oct 16-18)

[Riou]

Always confuses me why they announce man of the match before the match is over.

What if Mendy made a massive error in the last few minutes, or what if that volley had gone in at the end of the game.

Norwich Burnley still without win after 8 games.

The only teams Arsenal have beaten this season. Sad

If you are correct the European champions with one of the best managers who spent nearly 100m on a striker this summer & absolutely shedloads the summer before are only the 3rd best team in the league?
Simply shows how tough the prem league is nowadays.
Its on a totally different level to what it used to be.

It shows Liverpool and City are two extraordinary teams with the two best managers of their generation.

The Chelsea side that won the CL in 2012 weren't anywhere near as good as the two Manchester clubs that same season or the season after despite spending a ****load too.

European champs yes but again it just feels like it's one off knock out tournament they won. Adding 110m lukaku to that squad and ending up with this.

It's so weird with Chelsea. You'd think with Mount, Havertz, Ziyech, Pulisic and CHO as a supporting cast to Lukaku and James as their very attack minded RB with Chilwell also capable the other flank, in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 they'd be capable of so much more. Or if you're persisting with 3atb at least have guys like Havertz and Ziyech supporting Lukaku with Chilwell and James as the wing-backs. But for some reason they persist on this super negative formation where they just play 2 or at most 3 any way attack minded plyers and you feel as tho they're not playing to the full potential of their squad. I mean it's been fairly effective for the most part but I definitely think there's a ceiling for them in terms of competing for the title over 38 games with Liverpool and City.

Yes I agree & it just goes to show the standard at the moment.
If Chelsea the Euro Champs are the 3rd best,
Also look at the players Man U have after signing Sancho, Ronaldo & Varane to add to a squad that was already very strong.
Yet most still dont put them close to the top 3.
Thet though must be the best 4th side ever by a wide margin.
Certainly on paper they are miles ahead of Us Leicester,Sp**s etc.
Its Scary

He's like Karl Pilkington, can never tell if he's really like this or just acting.

He's funny either way though.

 

[IstraBalagina]

Lukaku isn't the same player under Tuchel compared to his time at Inter.

He's simply overrated.

At the moment Liverpool are the best team in the league.

We might have beaten Tottenham too ..hmm

Just saw the Liverpool highlights. The levels of consistency Salah has displayed since joining them are so high. You'd have to say he's even turning it up another notch so far this season as well. He's got a huge argument as to being the best player in the world right now.

Oh... I so hope this is the year they are finally dropping back into the Championship.

Brentford are pretty good actually. Their start to the season has been good and they really deserved an equaliser yesterday.

I love how despite Newcastle being the new super evil, oil club.

My thoughts for this game are... "Please smash Sp**s"

Says a lot about what a disgusting team that Tottenham are.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Have to post that here. Just brilliant defending...
