In the Prem I'd say it is.

I don't really see any higher level of hatred than Spurs-Arsenal. Especially as over the past decade we've managed to close the gap in quality.

Utd-City isn't a great derby in my opinion, City have only become relevant over the past few years, Utd never used to worry about them. Utd-Pool is more based on the fact they're the two biggest clubs in England but the rivalry is stemmed from success/ past success. Pool-Everton can be tasty but I still think Spurs-Arsenal is the most heated rivalry, we ****ing hate one another to levels I don't think people outside of it really understand.

Pool v Everton is rarely spicy. Pool always dominate...I'm hoping Everton do a bit better this season though...got some decent individuals in the team.

Think Sarri screwed up tactically.
Made changes way too late and had no answer to Dele, Kane, Son and Eriksen.

Your midfield was dominated by Sissoko ... can't imagine that sentence being said before this season!
But he was a beast.

Sissoko definitely made a difference in his running and it was outwide where we had space but your fullbacks won the 1v1 battles.

The difference was the front 4, you won all the balls into the channels flick ons and we couldnt play through them as there was real intensity in your press

Still think Pool win pretty comfortably, tbh.

Everton's two best players are probably Richarlison and Gylfi. The former is too hit and miss and the latter, for as much as we liked him, was never really good enough to hold down a regular first team place with us. Pool still have a lot more quality, their front three is ****ing brutal and their full backs are probably the best pairing in the Prem at the moment.

I've already said I like Sarri, he's been one of the most likeable managers Chelsea have had in years and in general seems to be doing a great job, but the way he's managing Kante is weird. Seems to be trying to make the best DM in Europe play as a sort of attack minded CM, it allowed us to dominate that centre of the park with Sissoko while Alli, Eriksen and Son just had so much freedom to batter their defence as they had no protection.

Yeah i liked how he pointed out the hazard pen decision but ultimately said we were ****. Hes Hes not going to let the team off the hook and he hasnt got the blinkers on

We clearly targeted Jorghino and both Son & Dele gave him an evening he’ll want to forget.

He’s your DM since Kante got moved, and his struggles seem to put the rest of your defense out.

Mind you, Luiz was utter ****e, which helped us too.
