GWT: PL Matchweek 6

[Live in the Now]

Spurs didn't play well, but they will get the points and they really needed them. Can't be dropping points to Brighton and Watford this early in the campaign.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Lamela got away with an elbow to the face there.

 

[Baxterman]

Well it wasn’t pretty but it was a much needed win after the pathetic efforts in the past 3 games.

Still a lot of issues with this team. They will need to rely on other teams being crap to make the top 4.

 

[Baxterman]

Well I guess they had to let one last pathetic play to ensure there were no doubts how awful they really are.

Embarrassing to allow that goal.

 

[Live in the Now]

Can't believe the way Tottenham played those last five minutes.

 

[S E P H]

That own goal by the Soton player was one of the worst I have seen in the past five seasons of all football. Just horrible.

Wolves are such an impressive team.

Disgusting at the Crystal Palace game, a fan threw a glass beer bottle at one of the CP fans.

 

[Savant]

The standard for Liverpool is getting high now. Really easy game today. Hopefully Shaq wasn't hurt when he was taken out.

Hes fine. Just resting so he starts midweek

 

[Live in the Now]

Hes fine. Just resting so he starts midweek

Him, Fabinho, Keita, and frankly they should change the whole team.

Tough one for the Gulls. It was always going to be hard against Spurs, unfortunate that they gave up a Pen going into half. I thought the unbeaten at home steak was going to last the whole season, yet here we are... :p

 

[Shrimper]

RLC needs to leave Chelsea

 

[Cassano]

Antonio is a donkey

 

[Chimaera]

Kante is completely wasted in this setup.

Kante is completely wasted in this setup.

Jorginho hasn't been anything special either. He makes a ton of passes, but they are mostly just short and safe passes along the back line. Nothing spectacular enough to justify playing Kante this far forward.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Missed the first half, but hey small victories going in goalless.

I don’t completely agree with that, he is just cycling like he always does. That’s his role.

Kante can’t really do that as well as he can. The craziest bit today is that Kante has as many attempts with his head as feet so far

We're playing one of the best defensive midfielders in the world out of position so that Jorginho can play in that spot. I expect more from him than just cycling the ball, especially when he's rather poor defensively. If he's not driving the attack, than all we're accomplishing is to have a lot of possession with nothing to show for it and it leaves us very vulnerable to counterattacks (most evident during the Arsenal game). Chelsea is 5-0 to start the season so far, but the schedule has been fairly easy. This kind of set up isn't going to serve us well against clubs that can efficiently attack.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

West Ham look like they're tiring.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Oof, Fabianski off the face.

 

[Cassano]

Fabianski is great, I'll take him over Cech all day.

 

[Chimaera]

Mark Noble is so bad

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Mark Noble is so bad

He can't move, it's terrible to watch.

 

[Chimaera]

West Ham should be up

 

[Cassano]

Horrible miss. Chelsea been lucky af this season.

Yeah, if this is going to be Jorginho's role, it's been waste of money. A lot of guys could be doing those same safe passes, heck, how much salary Fabregas is being paid to sit on the bench. And like you said, Jorginho doesn't offer much more defensive protection than Fabregas.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Credible point, could have been more with that Yarmolenko chance.
