Cicero 3,583 Posted August 8, 2018 No better time to face us atm. Shooting blanks up top. Team hasn't clicked yet under Sarri Back line suspect First team players lacking match fitness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebird Hewitt 663 Posted August 10, 2018 Either we're going to shock a few people and get a result or we're going to have a reality check and get a kicking. Unsure which way this could go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnersauraus 639 Posted August 10, 2018 @Stan there is an other matches thread. Is that because you can't be bothered to do a thread for every game 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cicero 3,583 Posted August 11, 2018 Kepa starts Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Willian, Pedro, Morata Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebird Hewitt 663 Posted August 11, 2018 And we're fucked. Only Reid of the new signings starts with Murphy (surprisingly) on the bench. Zohore not even in the squad which is baffling unless he's injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spurs looked terrible in green as well. Hopefully it's just a first game thing and teams get back to their normal away jerseys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebird Hewitt 663 Posted August 11, 2018 Dodgy penalty for Bournemouth apparently. ETHERIDGE YOU LOVELY LOVELY MAN!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6666 823 Posted August 11, 2018 Chelsea not playing well but get the goal. Story of the start of the season so far with the big clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero 3,583 Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Fortunate to be leading let alone 0-2 up. We've been poor and very lethargic. Alonso tbh our best player imo. Got to be quicker with our passing and movement. Need more urgency in our play. Barkley has been frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebird Hewitt 663 Posted August 11, 2018 Big half time talk needed now. That Etheridge penalty save could be vital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azeem 1,368 Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Fulham trailing despite a good showing. Seri's been easily the best player but they haven't taken their chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azeem 1,368 Posted August 11, 2018 Stupid decision to start Fabri, Rico will replace him soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandoEFC 4,348 Posted August 11, 2018 Decent game at the Cottage. Van Aanholt looks a real threat for Palace and Benteke actually looks lively. Lots of decent passing in and around midfield from Fulham but no end product yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cicero 3,583 Posted August 11, 2018 Great win after a shaky first half. Still a lot of work to be done but plenty of positives. Kovacic needs to be bled in asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carefreeluke 552 Posted August 11, 2018 Huddersfield are dross, like another pre-season game. Nice to see three attacking players come on. Conte would have brought on a defensive midfielder and wing back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluewolf 4,043 Posted August 11, 2018 Good decision making by Hazard as well to pick out Pedro over Morata for our third... As Luke said it was Huddersfield and they were a bit dire today, only one shot on goal I believe but we have dropped the ball and the points against similar sides last season so grab them points and the positives while we can... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
