GWT: EPL - Matchweek 4

[HoseEmDown]

If Southampton had decent wingers they'd be so much more dangerous. The can't get good crosses into the box or beat guys one on one and create scoring chamces. Everything is going through the middle where it's getting shut down easily.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Thought McTom may have done his ACL there.

 

[Savant]

Finally Chalobah is playing. RLC in peak form starting in the midfield as well, finally.

It’s nice they are letting Chalobah say goodbye

 

[Jussi]

Martinez MOTM for BT Sports.

 

[Jussi]

2nd consecutive win and a clean sheet. Pleased.

So is that back4, or is Reece James still being wasted on CB position?

 

[Jussi]

What a f***ing tackle Martinez…. Imagine someone on here said he isn’t physics enough LOL

All the videos from his Ajax days told me he can handle it. He's a fighter!

 

[The Abusement Park]

Yeah Martinez is the truth. He's what Woodward wanted Rojo to be.

Hopefully a back 4 with James-Silva-Chalobah-Cucurella

Unfortunately it seems to be back 3 still:

"There is a first start of the season for Trevoh Chalobah as Chelsea host Leicester City in the Premier League this afternoon. The defender is the one change from last weekend’s defeat at Leeds United, replacing the suspended Kalidou Kouliably at the back. The young defender is expected to play in the back three alongside Reece James and Thiago Silva"

Chelsea line up vs Leicester City

 

[KlausJopling]

Odd Tuchel made no changes after last week. Though most of the bench players are guys he is rumored to want gone anyway.

And James at cb is a waste of your best attacking threat.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Yeah Martinez is the truth. He's what Woodward wanted Rojo to be.

Martinez based on first two games: Sucks
Martinez based on next two games: Great

Ridiculous. Means RLC is at RWB again then as well and a midfield 2 with Jorginho and Gallagher. Getting really fed up with Tuchel playing guys way out of position.

Martinez first two games played alongside Maguire. Last two games, played alongside Varane. It helps when you don't have to cover for someone else's mistakes all the time.

He was fine the first two games

Showing a 3-5-2 so hopefully that means Gallagher is used to press high instead of being told to sit back.

 

[Peen]

Hopefully they have a solution to ease Gallagher’s on ball situations.

Jersey contrast is rough in this match lol

Gallagher's biggest weakness right now is his passing, and Tuchel has been using him like Kovacic which is nuts. He wasn't used that way at Palace, he was used to defend in a high press and run with the ball in the opponent's half.

RLC please you need to score there.

 

[gary69]

Loftus-Cheek should have scored there, great pass by Sterling.

 

[Burner Account]

Harvey Elliott has arrived

 

[Peen]

genuinely a very good save from ward to get across that well and stay big

 

[Prntscrn]

Season starts now

 

[Venkman]

Brilliant finish by Fernandes. Nice build up too by Elanga, Sancho and Dalot. Martinez and Varane very good at the back.

Important to back the Liverpool win up with another result. Performance can still be improved but I'll take a scrappy 0-1.

 

[Blender]

RLC has been a beast this season. Draws a penalty after a fantastic pass and run.
