I told you it would be a tight game didn't I. All of you "We will piss this" brigade can eat your words, I even fancied them for a draw halfway through the second half. We only had 21 attempts to their 1 and 16 fouls against 6, it was a lot closer than all of you thought. Am I now qualified to be a pundit on BT Sports.
As I said last week,Moses and Luiz will be instrumental for us winning the league this season.Anyone agree with me yet?
Awesome game from Chelsea today! now they're both on top of the table and on top scorer (Diego Costa)
Best performance I have seen from us since we beat Everton 3-6 at Goodison a couple of seasons ago!
Amazing, this is unrecognisable from last years' team. Don't know what Conte is giving them, but I'd like some in my coffee.
We have more credentials than Spuds or Goons for title - given our team's past accomplishments & history.
Perhaps - one or two of our regular squad members will not have a major title (PL, CL) to their name. No mickey mouse cups included.
Goons - one or two of their regular squad members have a major title (PL, CL) .
Spuds - zero of their regualr squad members have a major title (PL, CL).
Having said that - we should be grounded and focus on Top 4 or G-Spot (Goons spot) alone.
Lets leave the Title delusions to Spuds & Goons

One game at a time.
eventually, a team will sit very narrow and very deep, and the system might just come a cropper.
dont get me wrong, i'm very happy right now, but cautiously so, it cant stay this way forever!

I said before a ball was kicked that we and united would fight it out this season.Maybe I was wrong about united....COYB'S!!!
should certainly hope not.
when every one play the same teams start cancelling eachother out. it happened with 451, 4231, and will happen with 343 as well!
Not sure about that.
Everton failed badly. Spuds were struggling literally - but for some poor finishing from Goons.
a consequence of only training for a week or so in the system mate, onc managers dedicate their team to that style over a month, you'll see a more polished effect. Conte has been playing that way for about 4 years give or take, and had been trialling many different formations including 4, 4, 2 (4 in the middle) and 443/4231 (three up top), we were already pretty verstaile. Not saying we wont be the best at it by a long stretch, but just saying give teams time and they'll emulate what we are doing and shut us down. (or at least try to!)
agree Georgey.
They will be there or thereabouts. Hope we build a strong lead for the G-Spot by then
This is some endorsement from old Motty, and yes he was talking about our performance against Everton yesterday.
“This was the best 90 minute performance I have ever seen in the Premier League,” Motson said.
“I put it above anything I saw from Arsenal when they were at their best, I put it above anything I saw from Manchester United because this was football on another planet.
“Producing football like that, I’m not going to look any further for the champions,” he added.
