GWT: EPL - Matchweek 15

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I don't think Chelsea can just sack another guy yet again but it's not good when the guy boasted that they should be winning right away.

Sacking Poch this soon would likely be my final straw

 

[gary69]

Reece James is certainly nowhere back to his best yet.

 

[Savant]

Villa could have gone up 2-0 but hit the post

It's damned if you do, damned if you don't

They fire another coach who isn't working out and it's typical chelsea

They keep going with a coach who has the squad struggling to perform consistently and looks to lack maturity in virtually every performance and they finish another season low in the table.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Dalot should get a yellow for the foul and he also kicked the ball away so uh should be maybe get a second?

 

[Peen]

I agree, it would be annoying and I probably wouldn't watch much after that point for a bit until things stabilize

But I am skeptical given he came in saying we need to compete, set the bar high, "this is chelsea" "have to be good right away" "results matter"

and his tenor has changed a lot - he's gotten a ton of legitimate quality additions to the squad since he came in at the start of july to the end of summer.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I'm being tongue in cheek obvi, that would be ridiculous

Chelsea looks better than last year and it's hard to feel bad for them when they've spent the money they have but I don't get why he set those expectations at the start of the year. Seemed ill-advised even then that the ship would turn around so soon, especially with such an inexperienced team.

Press conference silliness. It'll take a long time and I have faith in a lot of the signings. It's just an EXTREMELY immature team, and it's really shown sometimes.

The kicking the ball away thing is pretty dumb because of how inconsistent it's enforced. Shaw did it twice this game and only got 1 yellow (and it was for the one that was less significant), players do it all the time and refs ignore it until they randomly enforce it once every 12 times.

 

[gary69]

If Chelsea aren't going to spend big in January (they shouldn't imo), no point bringing in another manager.

I'll give Poch at least month or so, half a dozen matches after Nkunku comes back.

 

[Peen]

Enzo is actually awful with end product in the final 25 yards. Like zero composure in an around the goal

I know he finally broke his no goals thing after a year but he needs to be more productive from MF

He's like a cross between Jorginho and Kovacic, both in terms of play style and in terms of finishing

 

[Savant]

Good ebening

 

[Peen]

How was there no foul called on jackson for taking the ball from Maguire by fouling him? Almost scored from it too

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Villa is going to be at the top all season long.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Reguillon is a punk who should be suspended for that silliness

 

[Savant]

Villa is going to be at the top all season long.

Them and Newcastle are a lot better than that Utd/Chelsea/Tottenham tier in my opinion at least

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Given their performances against the other title contenders, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that Villa are truly in the mix

 

[hatterson]

This is the part where I complain that it was favorable timekeeping to allow that last corner and United shouldn't have had to defend it, right?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

A profoundly weird and sloppy game. Both sides are bad. We're worse.

 

[Jussi]

United are 3 points behind City...

 

[luiginb]

Where's that one Villa fan who was always talking shit about that legend McGinn?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

It is bonkers that that game had fewer goals than the average premier league match this season

not a single red card either, kinda disappointed
