I think it'll be 2-2

You called

Could be a car crash. They have pace and we are wide open on the transition.

A lot depends on whether Haaland perceives Chelsea as a big club, because we know he doesn’t show up for big games.

From my Leicester supporting brother, Maresca has no plan b it's plan A or nothing why we limped over the line in the Championship. Chelsea won't sit back as that's not the Maresca way, we did that against Southampton and won 5 nil Maresca hated the way we played even though we won he hated how we won. He wants to play possession based and control games. So he will go toe to toe

Foden runs like a duck with diarrhea
Ake's braids get in the way of his vision
Ederson has too many tattoos
Grealish wants to beat at least 5000 players
Doku can't dance
Otherwise ok

Beating one would be a start.

(That’s a joke of course).

Hang on... nothing about Ederson? What kind of bullshit lightweight list is this?

@mancboy had the classic “should have sold him” on his list! Mine were add-ons.

@GaudinoMotors what else do you have, I figure we could also add the following:

Doku keeps losing the ball, get Grealish on
Grealish keeps passing backwards, get Doku on

Akanji was a steal (immediately followed by: FFS Akanji)

Stones is made of glass (followed by Eccles scolding)

(Insert new player name) will be fine, remember Plodri

(Insert new player name) is the new Phillips

I wish you'd fuck off back to Rag Cafe you absolute clown.

You'll never win 4 in a row you rag **** now fuck off.

Not arf

 

[vanchi]

It was a gruelling season, I agree. But still frustrating that they aren't ready for a tough away game to open the season. Title could once again be decided by the finest of margins.

it is literally pep’s decision, he explained it.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Not arf

Gvardiol isn’t a LB
Walkers lost his pace, should have gone to Saudi
Walker shouldn’t be captain
Worst window in history
Doku needs to learn how to finish
Nunes was a waste
Players lost their drive
Why did we sell Alvarez (or any other player in the last three years)?
Kova is no Gundo

Anything else? Can we just pin these at the top of every match day thread?

FFS Mahrez
Pep out
Why did we let Palmer go
