Yeah. But as dud as it was both teams were going for it but just cancelled each other out.

Disappointed with the draw but happy with it at the same time. Disappointed as playing a weakened team and felt they were there for the taking. Happy that they maintain the the three points.

United were a different team when Cavani came on and Rashford moved out. Absolutely right to be pissed at that Rashford non pass.

Now stop your whining. There were no snipes towards Slava. He was simply asked to expand on his thoughts at the time. He failed to do so. He was asked if his own standards should apply to Jose. He ran from that too.

There was no I told you so. There was a explain and elaborate on your thought.

There were no contradictory posts from me. You struggle following conversations. You struggle with context. You struggle...period. If I was to suggest Mourinho's job was hanging by a thread last week and in 4 weeks time after a 5 game winning streak they're not the same.

I'm sorry that I won't respond to your lonnng post but seriously it really isn't worth it. If you're offended by that so be it.

How do i mute someone?

EDIT: found it.

I think MCI is going to run away with this thing. They look like they are sorted out, are the healthiest and have the most talent. Everyone else looks obviously flawed.

I think so also. They were having some issues earlier and seem to have those corrected. I still think it will be a tight race though because there’s both quite a bit of parity and at the same time, there’s a weird dynamic with no fans this season.

Saw this on the PL Twitter page, but Man City are the first team this year to win five games in a row, which pretty much shows the mediocrity of this season so far. They do look primed to go on a run though with how solid their defense is and with their attack finally starting to show signs of life.

Senator Clay Davis · 01-18-2021, 02:31 PM

Would you like to guess if Aubameyang score from here?

VladtheImpaler · 01-18-2021, 04:52 PM

I wonder if we see Newcastle and Wolves battling for relegation this year?

Christmas in July?

BTW, the Athletic reported today that our favourite crazy Russian is going to break the bank to land Haaland this summer.

Ah...so Roman's got some cash that he needs laundered does he? Got to get it out of the Russian Federation and onto UK soil?

They need another offensive player. I mean sure, they bought Ziyech, Werner and Havertz and added them to Pulisic, Abraham, Giroud and others, but they need more offense.

Senator Clay Davis · 01-19-2021, 02:37 PM

Lampard is sacked once Arsenal get above Chelsea right? Surely that's the red line for Roman.

devo22 · 01-19-2021, 03:21 PM

well Chelsea fans can at least cherish that sweet Summer Transfer Trophy. Better than nothing I guess.

Its hilarious because....I think I said exactly this before the season even started.

Chelsea bought some good players. So what?

Senator Clay Davis · 01-19-2021, 03:37 PM

Did they even buy good players? I know it's still kinda early, but most of their signings have underwhelmed. When 35 year old Thiago Silva on a free looks like your best business...

Havertz and Werner were some of the most sought after players in the world. There were just few clubs who could both afford them and fit them in.

But as we know, theres more to teams than just plug-and-play purchases of players.

Hell, just 'Chelsea-Specific' right now look no further than Salah and De Bruyne. Both former Chelsea purchases.

You have to do more than just buy good players, you have to develop them into your culture and then forge them into a good team.

Senator Clay Davis · 01-19-2021, 03:48 PM

Oh no doubt, and how many times have we seen a new signing look poor in his first year and rebound after? But that isn't much comfort to Chelsea fans who thought they were going to challenge for the title, and midway through the year they are looking up at West Ham in the table (shout out to Moyes somehow doing decently!).

I dont know what to say to this. As a long-time Liverpool fan...you might hope or expect to challenge for the title, but you never pin your heart to winning it.

Chelsea are coming off a transfer ban...I wouldnt have expected anything from Chelsea this season. If their fans did, to me thats on them. Or at least temper expectations. Get into the CL or make Europa.

'Expect' is one thing, 'hope' is another.

I dont even think Liverpool fans 'expected' to win the title again this season. I certainly didnt/dont.

And frankly, I thought Lampard was a sacrificial lamb, much like OGS. Interim managers to steward their teams through rough patches and see how it goes. We did the same thing with Dalglish years back.
