GWT: PL Matchweek 1

[Cassano]

Arsenal back is going to be tested for a bit

Not really. That was a pretty tidy performance defensively.

Newcastle looked lost without Shelvey.

St. Maxim has nice skills, but made some questionable decisions. Still gonna be a good signing I reckon.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I was very curious to see which one of Barkley or Mount would start, and I'm surprised to see it's both. Kante must not be 100% yet.

Yea, Kante isn't fit. He's on the bench though and expected to start next week supposedly.

 

[YNWA14]

I just can't see Chelsea winning with that line-up...it's dreadful.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Break out your Blues avatars! I'm gonna avoid the rush/traffic. The Blues score first!

Stunner by Abraham off the post. Good start for Chelsea.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

f***ing hell that strike from Abraham

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Rashford looks to have put on a lot of muscle

I just can't see Chelsea winning with that line-up...it's dreadful.

United's is no better tbh, and ours is very clearly not first choice whereas there's seems to be pretty close to it.

Wake up Zouma, the game started.

More unknowns on Chelsea with this lineup as well since it's not like Chelsea has rotated these guys in much over the last few years. Mostly known commodities out there for United.

 

[Jussi]

Come on Martial... You have to punish for gifts like that.

 

[HoseEmDown]

You’re joking, right?

Who's better than him besides Walker? Even his runs are as good as Walker sometimes so I don't think there's a huge gap between the two.

Keep going, it's not Walker.

It's good to see at the start of the season here how much more fluid movement the team has under Lampard than it did under Sarri.

I think a reasonable case can be made that Walker and Alexander-Arnold are the top 2.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Alexander Arnold is by a country mile the best RB in the league going forward. Pereira is a solid shout for 2nd.

At right back?

TAA obviously, and cancelo overall too.

Those shouldn’t even be remotely debatable.

 

[hatterson]

Chelsea just faster to basically every 50/50 so far.

United playing with pre-season intensity.

 

[Blender]

Sloppy as hell by Zouma. All that work and we might go down 1-0 with a penalty.

 

[Jussi]

Clumsy challenge from Zouma. Clear penalty.

Rashfrod buries it top shelf where mama hides the cookies!

 

[Blender]

67% possession, controlling the game, down 1-0. f***.

 

[hatterson]

Sloppy as hell by Zouma. All that work and we might go down 1-0 with a penalty.

He also almost gifted one to Martial earlier too on a sloppy pass across the back.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Gahhhhhhhhh we've been so much better

Yea he's been dreadful. Rudiger can't come back soon enough.

 

[Jussi]

Corner train!

 

[Jussi]

Those damn dirty Fellaini elbows! Oh wait...

 

[HoseEmDown]

I think Walker, Pereira and Alexander-Arnold are the clear top 3. I just feel like Pereira does more with less, he doesn't have the attackers ahead of him to make numbers better.
