GWT: Premier League Round 1

[spintheblackcircle]

It's August.

Yea, but I've seen a few things here and there that he may have come back too quickly from his ankle last year and because of the WC, he's not had time to get back to 100%.

But yea, it's August. And Dele looks GREAT.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Dembele for moura? No poch, dier,

He loves his Dier and his Davies.

I trust him, I guess.

And sissoko...he loooooooooves 17

 

[Evilo]

Lloris looks ten years younger. So quick.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Eriksen has not been great either.

 

[Fro]

We're basically just hanging on...sigh...

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Aurier track back FFS.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Amos, like it.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Luke Amos coming on.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

bad injury for Yedlin

 

[Fro]

Ugh, feel bad for yedlin

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Hey, a win is a win.

 

[Fro]

3 points...on to next 1

 

[hatterson]

Hopefully it isn’t bad for Yedlin. One of those situations where it looks like it’ll either be a strain and he misses a week, or he’ll be out for months.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Was Ritchie injured? Otherwise I am not sure why Rafa replaced him with Atsu.

Looks like Hazard on the bench for Chelsea. Pedro, Willian, Morata, Barkley, Kante, Jorginho, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Alonso, Rudiger, and Arrizabalaga starting.

He looked pissed on the bench, threw the water bottle he was handed. I thought he was their best player up to that point.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Sarri will be shifting Chelsea more towards a 4-3-3, no? With Azpilicueta at RB?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Hazard and Giroud getting rested still, probably the right move. I'd be shocked if Hazard didn't enter at like the 65th minute.

Fabregas and Bakayoko not on the bench. Obviously lots of chatter about Baka leaving on loan, but I've heard nothing about Cesc.

EDIT: I'm stupid, Cesc is hurt.

Correct.

No Kovacic yet either.

 

[Cassano]

Morata starting. Huddersfield have a chance.

Looks like Kante is playing more of a box to box role than his usual role.

 

[Evilo]

Happy to see David Luiz back. And his passing is still a joy.

 

[Blender]

Kante!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Looks like Kante is playing more of a box to box role than his usual role.

Seems like he is using him similarly to how he used Allan at Napoli.

 

[Blender]

Jorginho!

Obvious penalty, terrible challenge there.
