English Football 2022-23 (aka the bullshit WC year) - Page 184 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I did have these kind of opinions on lol reddit because the volume here is so dead.

Nothing against Potter, still think he's fine and this Chelsea side is wank

Its a team that finished top 4 last season with pretty much the same injuries and some additions.

Teams around us might have recruited better sure, but that does not explain Chelsea's total lack of presence and competitiveness in matches.

Newcastle absolutely dominated us last night.

We are not just losing games, we are being crushed from the first minute.

No more Premier League football until after Christmas. Which is a result, given how we are playing.

Eriksen nearly made it two after the ref pulled play back for no reason, as Shaw shrugging off a weak pull on the shoulder, running ten yards before being cleanly challenged apparently wasn't advantage over

Chelsea got pressed to death and had no answer. They have no answer to a press and no consistent source of goals.

Like I guess you could run Puli/sterling on the wings as outlets and play it long more in these games? But then they have to beat a man, deliver a final ball and have someone put it in? Just hard to see where the goals come from.

I have seen us play without Kante numerous times, I have a reliable and robust frame of reference, and against that reference we are still infinity+1 times worse at the moment.

Jorginho falling off a cliff has been a big difference.

Being one of your best players despite not being half as good as he was a year ago is not a good thing.

Only one week to go and I have not read a single scorching hot take by a Yanklandian getting caught up in their 4 yearly interest in football.

Disappointed.
