Sancho is another winger with a bad injury history so he should fit right in


I like the pick up.


He and Mudryk on the left

Madueke and Neto on the right.

Jackson and Felix up top

Palmer and Nkuku in the middle

Enzo and Lavia in the middle

The back line and keeper are where the question marks lie.

I like our chances at being top 5.

Top 4 is a maybe, as 1,2,3 are locked up imho (MC, Arsenal, Liverpool).

The next spot is going to come down to us, Spurs, Man U, Villa, Newcastle, and Brighton.

I like our depth.

Pathetic draw at home to Palace. Get Sanchez out of the fricking goal. How does he continue to start?

Chelsea played into CP’s hands, but still had chances. If Jackson could finish like an elite striker, everyone is talking about what a brilliant game plan it was. It also makes it frustrating that Chelsea is just amassing wingers.

On a positive I cannot remember the last Chelsea game I watched with 0 offsides called.

These are the points you absolutely cannot afford to drop, just not good enough... Again

I was hoping those days were behind us. We’ve had Palace’s number for 13 straight W’s and that was bound to end but I didn’t think at home. Work in progress I guess.

six saves and one goal, CFC had their chances but dean henderson was really good today

I really like Caicedo, Enzo, CP in the middle, madueke and neto will come around

Neto couldn’t get into the groove. I didn’t like Felix out wide on the left. He’s better centrally. Madueke scores that amazing save by Dean and everyone is talking differently.

It’s about keeping pace with the top 4. We cannot lose points at home against an inferior side. Good teams don’t do that. Enzo needs to find his 11 and stick with them or chemistry will never be accomplished. And get Sanchez out of the fricking goal.

We are a couple games into the season. He doesn’t know his best 11 yet when the team hasn’t even been solidified.

We all know than Sancho will start the next match at LW. Madueke seems to have RW and Cole has central / play wherever he wants role. Striker…I don’t think Jackson holds it down all year but it’s pretty limited choices available.

When Lavia is healthy the central midfield gets really interesting. I don’t know who our best are but I’ll suspect that Caicedo and Enzo are the starters. Problem with those two is they both are below average going forward. Enzo picking passes from deep is a strength but he’s not very good in the final third.

Back four is pretty ironed out until Reece gets healthy.

GK…I haven’t seen enough of Jorgensen to know if he’s better.

Jackson will hold it down until the January window and then we’ll see what happens. I like his progression but man, his finishing leaves a lot to be desired. Should’ve beaten Palace with a few goals to spare.

Chelsea are pretty close to having balanced the books following Angelo Gabriel's sale to Al-Nassr for £19.1million... if you don't count Penders and Estevao (who were signed for 2025 and not joined yet). - £208.5m spent, £188.9m made in sales.

Man City has struggled with Wolves.

Elite teams sometimes shite the bed.

It happens.

I still thought that we played quite well.

A keeper can make a huge difference. That was the case imho.

Lastly, we ARE a work in progress.

Nonetheless, I think we finish top 5, maybe top 4.

Wish I had your optimism. We’ll finish about where we did last season- 6 or 7.

You may be right.

However, after the top three, I don’t see much difference between 4 and 10.

I believe we have enough to separate us from the pack.

Time will tell.

No chance with mega bitch Keir Starmer in charge now. That raging puss is the reason he was illegally forced to sell the team in the first place.
