what do you think of Chelsea

He will if Saints don't get relegated.

 

There's a difference between a critique and a slagging off.

 

so Bobby is the quickest player going. sorry.

oh and mane never misses anything. oops.

oh and that salah, he's boss mate, never ever loses the ball.

better not mention how hard working they are or how they work together though just in case itd be taken up wrong.

 

False dichotomy, every one. Cheap debating tactics.

 

err no but he is a "rival" fan .

 

so state your assertions on their relative merits on each topic.

 

MITO doesn't have negative opinions of our players


in the same way I don't have a penchant for annoying people.

 

I've never seen you annoy anyone so that must mean I'm right.

positive criticism is good for players.

oi saido, try actually getting it on target mate.

oi mo, get it on your right and shield the ball before flopping over. like grealish mate.

oi Bobby, just keep it up luv.

 

Tis the season to be touchy? You're doing it wrong, it's "jolly"

I don't know the history of this micro beef, I'm just dipping my spoon in, chief.

 

oh right!!! jolly. thats how it goes.

here i was singing about the season to get touchy all this time.

no wonder the cops were called at the carolling last year

 

They are all very good players made into a greater team.
If you're saying the whole is more than a sum of its parts, well of course we all know that - that is the nature of a team.
How would they be as individuals if they moved on? I can't say. We can't relate to who they were before they joined us because individuals can learn and improve with the experience.
My gripe was with the extreme nature of the criticism. Salah is obviously not easy meat for any LB - he frequently turns them inside out and requires 2 or 3 to dispossess him. Firmino is not the fastest, but his game is not reliant on pace. Mané may be going through a meagre patch, but he was our best attacking player last season.
Anyway, it's nearly Christmas - be nice.

 

Couldn't find the "I don't think of Chelsea" poll option

 

Fraudulent data-gathering by the OP.

 

I had to add an option

 

I was going with the theme of the thread - Chelsea. After my short list of negatives, I found one positive link to them.

 

@BobbyD makes Chelsea worthwhile

 

thanks for the mention boys much appreciated.

Also congrats on the top spot, you've had some horrific injuries but you guys are grinding out the wins. It could come tumbling like a house of cards but i believe it was pretty much the same at the beginning of last season when you seemed to always score 1 more than none.

Still plenty of time for things to change but may the best team win

 

I'm not convinced we look like champions myself, but what gives me hope is no one else does either and we seem to have weathered the worst of the storm and we're on top.

 

that Torres point is well made by you, he was nowhere near his peak Liverpool form when he moved to Chelsea
