GWT: EPL Match Day 1

[hagelin1381]

Well at least this will send a message to spend some money.

they'll be going after the likes of Danny Drinkwater thinking that'll be enough. Seems as if the club is only aiming for top 4. sad

Eh, Cahill is a good CB, top 5 in the PL. He makes mistakes like any defender does.

I'm learning that there's about 13 "top 5" CBs in the EPL.

 

[hatterson]

This is all part of Chelseas master plan. 37d chess. Same as last year. Suck at the start, then get in track.

Well, we'd have Bakayoko who will be the eventual starter when he's healthy, we just need depth at that position.

Lol at those mocking Arsenal yesterday... LOL

They've all gone quiet all of a sudden.

Yea. I'm a lot less concerned with this terrible start than I was in 15-16 when he had a healthy lineup and still sucked.

We need an upgrade at wing-back and to get Morata ready. Then just health of Hazard and Bakayoko.

You're missing Lovren, Matip and Klavan bruh.

Pedro as well, who was great last year. If we are fully healthy and still look uninspired and are dropping points to clubs like this, I'll be concerned.

Azpi>Cahill

Totally, but I'm still hesitant to label Azpi a centre back.

 

[Savant]

You're missing Lovren, Matip and Klavan bruh.

I hope you realize that no one that supports LFC believes that.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Chelsea getting obliterated at home by a bottom five team.

 

[phisherman]

I hope you realize that no one that supports LFC believes that.

I would hope so. Some Liverpool fans speak some ridiculous stuff.

I'm sure. I personally was very insulted by that Klopp quote.

Luiz
Alderweireld
Vertonghen
Cahill
Koscielny

I'd replace Koscielny and Cahill with Kompany and Van Dijk.

 

[hatterson]

Personally I'd take Bailly over a couple names on that list.

Van Dijk totally slipped my mind, he'd be in there above Koscielny for sure.

Kompany hasn't been at that level in a long time. His peak was incredible, but he's too injured and streaky.

 

[Cassano]

Rooney is playing amazing.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Maybe should've been a penalty there, but it doesn't matter because we would've missed it anyway.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Seeing Alvaro Morata in a Chelsea jersey sucks

Good thing they are being destroyed by freaking Burnley

I like how these posts came right next to each other.

In regards to the tying goal (I missed the first half, so didn't see the other offside), when it's that cluttered and that close to the goal-line, I think you can cut the linesman some slack. Was it offside? Yeah, yeah I think it was. Was it a "blatant offside goal" that stole points from you? Nope! Keep the ball out of the net and put it in the other team's, y'all had so many opportunities to kill the game and couldn't do it.

Huh? It wasn't a hard call. The guy was standing on the goal line. It was blatant and Mignolet also couldn't make a proper original save on the shot because of him being there, are you daft?

It is what it is. Should have taken our other chances for sure but when there are two blatant offside goals allowed it is a bit sour.

Honestly can't wait to play Arsenal though. They are the most petulant fans around and are going to get pasted.

I love Marcos Alonso's free kicks.
