Also Chelsea's goals seem to be coming from their defenders at the moment, Lakaku hasn't scored in five games. If that continues they will begin to struggle.
Great second half from Brentford. How did VAR fail to give Toney a penalty? Russian rubles?Chelsea not all that, based on that performance.
For my sins I think I'll watch the Villa v Wolves match.
They are overrated. I keep saying it.Don't get me wrong, they are a good team but they can only get away with putting 9 men behind the ball and Lukaku and Werner chasing their first touch upfront for so long.
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.
If anyone is going to put a few fingers deep into my arse it's going to be me.
Thing is despite being so defensive there's no way they keep their good record up playing like they are. They've given up more shots and shots on target than us, Mendy's save percentage is 96% no way that lasts the season. They've got to either be incredibly lucky, find a way of becoming even more solid or much better in attack to sustain a title challenge.
He has such a punchable face
This just sounds like a lot of recency bias following the Brentford game. They were without half of their starting players including 2 of their back 3 being very inexperienced players. Jorginho was rested following the UEFA Nations League games, Alonso was out, though Chilwell an adequate replacement. Definitely very lucky, but I thought they impressed away to Spurs (2nd half) and the Arsenal game they pretty much walked. Man City made them look bang average, but they dominated possession in the same way against us and some would rightly argue we were lucky to get anything from that game. I think Brentford deserve a lot more respect than this being about Chelsea.

I mean it's just stating some facts based on 8 league games. I'm not really sure how it's about recency bias because of Brentford?
Rightly? We were shit first half but were well worth the point by the end.
If you think they've been lucky in all their games this season than fair enough. It just sounded a bit like a reaction to the Brentford game where they were absolutely battered in that last 25 - 30 minutes. I haven't really seen that from any other game of theirs except City.
Iwobi is absolutely pitiful
Any streams for the blueshite match? Fancy a laugh on a Sunday afternoon.

Can't believe Brands paid £30m for him. Must be their worst signing in recent years and he's up against pretty stiff competition.
fwiw there’s nothing in Chelseas underlying numbers to suggest they’ll be title challengers
I’m sure Arsenal couldn't believe it either, but considering all the crap transfers they have made too in the same time frame, it’s now like they can crow about it Defo a lot of competition for the worst signing trophy. Kean and Mina another 2 of very recent seasons.
I don't think he's even in the top 3, and that says everything. Walcott, Tosun and Rodriguez were even worse.
I don't know how much Everton paid for Michael Keane, but I know it was far too much
WHU are caning these here, ffs score.
