Hopefully the points difference in the league doesn't come down to that snorefest.

Snorefest is literally how your team won trophies.

Massive win, great to see Martimessi back in action.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

What a fluke. Those London teams have the horseshoe this year

Please, tell us more.

 

[Savant]

Please, tell us more.

What more would you like me to say? There’s nothing wrong with it and it’s okay to admit. Tottenham the luckiest team in the league and have played the easiest schedule. Arsenal scored (another) flukey winner today. Both teams have been very lucky; but sometimes you need luck. Any lies?

Snorefest is literally how your team won trophies.

This game had 3 shots on target, even the most defensive Chelsea teams usually had more chances than that, though not always. For example the 2021 CL final also had 3 shots on target and people complained that it was boring as well.

I'm sure you didn't care about the complaints when you saw your team hoist the trophy right?

 

[Evilo]

Against big teams really.

I know a lot of neutrals were calling that a boring game but I found it tense af, not disappointed at all

It was dull, but who cares? Take the 3 points, it wasn't a smash and grab win, but to win the league you have to get 3 points when maybe only 1 was deserved.

Of course not. I didn't expect neutrals to love it though either.

Glad to steal a win with a lucky goal. Both teams looked like they preferred to give up the ball and press the other team rather than actually do anything even borderline risky in possession.

For as much as some people think Gabriel Jesus is a diver (he does sometimes just like every player), the near-side linesman let him get absolutely abused today by not calling obvious fouls.

Chelsea are closer to 4th than to 18th which is the first I've been able to say that in awhile

A realistic take! Kudos - you have earned a like

God damn that’s a low bar

Are there two more boring teams than Arsenal and Man City?

City, yes. City without KDB, absolutely yes. They have nobody, NOBODY on that roster that can create anything.... it's staggering to see that nobody can step up and at least have moderate success.

Foden had little time in the middle -this season- and was decent , but too little time to see anything.
Silva was there yesterday and he did nothing and a lot of it.

Arsenal only played that way because City is City, give them enough walk ins and they'll get one. So play careful.

Arsenal usually attacks direct and aggressive.
City never will do that unless they are losing or frustrated, and they rarely do a good job (lately) without gun, kdb, and etc etc
City just possession and sleep the viewer and other team into not caring anymore....

Will be curious to see what happens with Disasi after the break

He’s had a better stretch here but you also still never know. Genuinely few good games . Still some nervy moments.

I remember Chalobah being good against bottom half teams but you would always be worried against the top half.

Badiashile should be fit soon, and he should walk straight into the team. But I wonder if Thiago gets pulled. Probably not straight away due to seniority so have to imagine it’s Disasi who makes way.

Well, we now know what will happen with Disasi. He will be dropped and will miss some time, because he is injured.

He has withdrawn from the French squad too.

Late but took me a while to find it:



Definitely using that "Private School Pirlo".
