Because he’s shit

Better than Kelleher though

Does that chelsea keeper know that he is a goalkeeper?

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #165 on:** October 28, 2023, 01:50:45 pm »

I swear I’ve seen Sterling have this exact game year on year, looks like he can barely kick the ball and just spends the entire time he’s around the box looking for a pen.

Reminded me of Pickford against Newcastle when he went behind the line trying to save a shot.

Tierney and Taylor stopped us getting 3 easy points there, the dubious offside where Tierney lined it up on the wrong Chelsea defender and the blatant penalty.

Crooked Manc Bastards.

That bloody awful 'everywhere we go' song they've all copied off each other sung by Brentford.

Chelsea are a bizarre side

Cole Palmer is excellent though. Looks their best player by a mile but he's playing with some awful support

We have them at home in a couple of weeks. Score first and in the first half and we should be ok. They’re lacking in talent in some areas but are always resilient and well organised.

Haven’t seen much of him but I’d agree Palmer looks a good player

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #175 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:03:09 pm »

Only just realized that Gallagher is still on, he's had a quiet half so far.

Really good reading of the game, seems to always be able to buy himself that extra yard and spot the correct pass early

Even in this dysfunctional Chelsea side he's creative

Brentford what a waste.

N'kunku is going to improve them a lot I reckon but he can't really stay fit lol

smicer07 · « **Reply #181 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:07:21 pm »

Caicedo lucky not to get a red

Dim Glas · « **Reply #182 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:07:33 pm »

nasty challenge from Caicedo, lucky it was just low enough.

Same as Jones

So a yellow for Caicedo for another tackle that was worse than Curtis' Vs spurs

There's only so much improvement he can make though - they'll have more attacking threat but still have bad attackers playing with N'kunku. The Defence will still be poor. The Goalkeeper will still be shite.

I am also still waiting for Fernandez to show that he's apparently magnificent, and Caicedo looks so far like a midtable defensive midfielder. The midfield could improve but they've shown no signs of it so far

Nick110581 · « **Reply #186 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:10:47 pm »

Caicedo challenge was a red.

Lynndenberries · « **Reply #187 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:10:53 pm »

Safe to say I overrated Caicedo and Doucoure this summer.

Yeah agreed, they still have a lot of dross all over the field.

I also agree on Fernandez and Caicedo. Pretty average so far.

The meltdown some had on here when that Caicedo didn’t come gets more hilarious by the week.

Looks the shadow of a player we saw at BHA. £50m looks over-priced.

Scottymuser · « **Reply #191 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:13:05 pm »

Brentford seem so committed to playing out the back they are perfectly happy with gifting Chelsea the ball 30-35 yards from goal (I think theyve done it like a dozen times already). If they do that against us it could be a cricket score

Tbf though he would have looked much better in our team. Imo at least. Still would have been overpriced, however.

andyrol · « **Reply #193 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:13:46 pm »

So second over the ankle foul by caicedo only ends up in a yellow! Where was VAR sending the dumb cheat Hooper to look at a 10 minute still of caicedo smashing ankles? Both Comms fail to realise it's same ref shock.

who would have thought giving u-23 players 3x market salary's iron clad for 8 years would just disincentivize them.

Not sure how much he can to do be honest but he can't be worse than Jackson. It's a mystery that they've spent so much money and a young lad who got double figures once with Villarreal is their starting striker. Nkunku scored plenty for Leipzig but they play really attacking football and prem defences will be a lot tighter. Think this season is a right off for him and Chelsea anyway, they won't get European football.

They should have went all out and tried to sign Osimhen IMO if they just wanted a quick fix.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #197 on:** October 28, 2023, 02:19:51 pm »

How did he miss that? It should have been 0-2.
