Almiron is a talented player but his constant cheating to win fouls is just sickening

If Chelsea had a firing striker we'd be up amongst the top 4. Poch still doesn't know his best 11, it's just gonna be another nothingy season for Chelsea. Buying Tony or Watkins in January is an absolute must. Proven PL strikers.

Nah, Lukaku have never gelled well at Chelsea, dunno what it is. He might be consistent in Serie A, but he can't replicate that kinda form in the PL, didn't do for Utd, never has for Chelsea.

Big fish in a small pond. No pressure, free reign. One season wonder. When it comes to the big English clubs he can't handle the heat. He was given plenty opportunities too. He never grew into the role, say like Didier Drogba.

I am soooo sick of the institutionalised cheating in the Prem league


Bowen ( an England player ) just tried a volley in the box and it sailed miles wide but he immediately claimed a corner despite it being abundantly clear that bit was nowhere near the defender in real time nor slow-no replays …

Minutes later when Antonio was rampaging down the wing the young Everton CB Branthwaite jumped into the tackle recklessly and took out Antonio’s standing leg .. Branthwaite looked and smiled like an innocent choirboy and smiled as he avoided a certain yellow card !!

Antonio limped out of the game seconds later


Agghhhhhhh !!!!

Why are they suddenly able to stop the game 5 minutes after the incident but they couldn’t do it for that LIverpool VAR debacle ?

… and when did they start bothering about defenders holding or grabbing in the box ?’

They’ve let it all go months !!


This kinda thing bothers me given the City owner’s unlimited money

City are turning on the style. Their passing is a lot more fast paced and sharp than it was earlier in the season

How can United be so poor !?

I have no idea why they have Fernandes as their captain .. he goes missing from games and then starts acting petulantly.

I wouldn't mind Blues and Man Utd swapping Managers tbh.

I think that it's a fair trade considering how the players have treated Ten Hag this season.

And with Fernandes, being brutally honest he is a waste of space, he goes missing so often in games it isn't even funny.

And that's taking away from the fact that he shoots like he thinks that he is playing Rugby.

I hope that Man Utd will eventually get back on track, but at the moment it is being badly run by the owners, and the players have a terrible attitude.

Granted Ten Hag hasn't always brought in the best players, but we all know that Man Utd have had issues long before Ten Hag was there, and they probably will once he is sacked.

The first thing that Man Utd needs to fix, is for the ownership to back the Manager on who comes in, and who goes out of the club.

The players couldn't even be bothered to try and win the ball back.

That's not Ten Hag's fault.

Similarly why have Chelsea made injury nightmare James the captain when he only plays 40% of games ?

The stand in captain is Gallagher who’s still learning the game and has just had a run of games ..

Their best defender has been the Brazilian captain Thiago Silva ..

Complete madness to overlook him

The reasoning behind not captaining Thiago is because Poch is looking to the future. Otherwise I'd agree with you.

But Chelsea have bigger problems than finding a non injury prone captain atm.
