Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Chelsea laid down a ****ing big marker today. They were great. I asked earlier in this thread if they were good enough to put in a challenge and they have answer in style. As for City? Nowhere near good enough. Pep has a lot of work to do. Arsenal had a good win, I didn't see it but apparently the Hammers were poor. Hot and cold are the gunners.

 

How did Citeh lose? Chelsea were fecking awful for most of the game.

 

just watching on match of the day. City look like the only team in the game and missed chance after chance.

 

The 'fight' after was funny too. How did the chelsea guy not get sent off for shoving Aguero?

 

Whole host of players need to be banned for that ruckus, Aguero, Fernandinho, (obviously) Fabregas and Chalobah need to face some punishment as well.

 

And a points deduction as well whilst they're at it

 

No can't do that, just ban all 11 on the pitch at the time for Chelsea and Citeh. 3 Match bans all around.

 

Just look how full the Olympic stadium is....

60k every week my arse, they can't even get that many for when one of the big clubs come to town.

Also West Ham are ****.

 

It would be such karma if they got themselves relegated in the place

 

Dele Alli having a poor season, so he's learnt how to dive to contribute.

 

Wonder where that Spurs fan who was whining about penalty decisions has gone today?

 

having seen the City v Chelsea game I have to ask, which genius came up with 3-4-3 formation?

It won't last....

Btw, and credit where it's due, much as I love Ford; and Sanchez, Silva, and Willian are special too, but Hazard at his best is, er, worryingly the best.

 

It was like watching 'Who can be the ****est in defence?' Then Swansea went and out did both.

Chelsea were ****ing rubbish at the back, Courtois was Motm, but deadly upfront.
Citeh controlled the game, but still pretty **** shooting and defending.

 

I remember when Brod did it for the end of the 14/15 season, and I think we went about 12 games unbeaten? But teams started sussing it out eventually, and I think it's easy for a clued=up team to get around it if the wing-backs have no pace (didn't we play Johnson and Can at times/). Again, I think the novelty wears off, buy where Conte is hosing Monghino, imo, is that he is totally unshackling Hazard from defensive duties, and quite right too. Yes, like Ford and Sanchez, you want them harassing the life out of defenders trying to play out the ball, but when I've seen Ford playing as a quasi left half in games like the Europa final, covering for Moreno... well, it's like using a Lotus to tow a caravan.

 

Wow that's one hell of a dive from Ali. It's not even subtle, not even a 2 footed tackle makes you dive in the air like that!

Id certainly be calling him out in post match comments if I was a Swansea player.

 

Why not during the interviews, have a tv to show them.

Poch saying he would need to see t... show it to him there and then and force him to comment and condone his player.

Sutton, Jesus who decided to sign him up for motd. What an annoying voice and terrible pundit.

'Well wouldn't have made any difference on the game.' Maybe not, but doesn't mean it's right does it?

 

Erickson doesn't deserve that first goal.... totally bottled it.

 

Er, that Stoke Burnley game - I thought if a pull-back continued into the box then a penalty should be given?

 

The same way we always win, with heart, hunger and passion .

If only Klopp had that you might be closer to the top

 

shocking decision, muniesa should have seen red at the very least

Lol yup, hes probably the biggest coward as a player. So flukey to score that
