Obviously it's the horrific injuries caused by Cucarella having his hair lightly tugged last week that are to blame...
It’s always nice to see Chelsea get obliterated Even more so when you see how much they’ve spent and still don’t have a functional team. Long may it continue.
Don't worry, next season they'll get three easy starting fixtures and let themselves get deluded all over again, just like the last lot we broke beyond repair...
Well, gonna have to watch MOTD 2 for Chelsea’s comical showing but Brighton are some team to watch. Complete and utter domination at the London Stadium, West Ham were chasing shadows for 90% of the game. Potter’s a genius. Pray for the rest of the league if he gets a top job with considerable funds.
If Arteta fails in his objectives and gets fired at the end of the season, I really hope Potter is at the top of our list of replacements. He’s done an outstanding job. From taking over Ostersunds, who were a 4th division side initially, to now consolidating Brighton as a top flight Premier League club in the space of 10 years.
We need to keep an eye on him, considering Conte's tendency to stay at clubs for a short time. Plays a similar formation and the players would fit into his system well, in my opinion.
On a more serious (Spurs related) front, if the Spanners do not beat Villa next week, then we have a real cup final on our hands on Aug 31. Though to break them would be quite funny as their following game is against ... Kings Road FC.
West Ham have never beaten Brighton in the Premier League. They have played each other 11 times since Brighton's promotion in 2017. Brighton have won five and they've drawn the other six, which were consecutive matches.
Looking like a long afternoon for Newcastle. Credit them for trying to go toe to toe with City, but the likely outcome is that they’ll be ripped to shreds.
