I still think the title is between City and Pool.

Chelsea just doesn't have the attacking power to keep up with them. nor is their midfield that creative

Liverpool midfield isn't creative either. Both Chelsea and Liverpool rely on counter pressing to create chances but Chelsea's pressing hasn't been as good this season (I suspect Lukaku is to blame) so we're suffering

We need a creative midfielder though. The Juve game exposed our inability to break down teams that defend deep. Tuchel needs to sort it out or our title charge gonna be over soon

City is the best all around squad in the Premier for my money.. if they could finish and Graelish does anything it'd be no contest.

Man U have the best squad, but a clown for a manager

City’s lack of a striker is too glaring

I didn’t say it was perfect but it’s the best overall imo, at least better than Man City & Chelsea, Liverpool could be debatable

I really disagree. its a good squad but I just dont see how its better than Liverpool, City or Chelsea's. Liverpool have the best first 11. Chelsea's is neck and neck and City's squad outside of the number 9 position is proven. There's a huge gap between all their midfield's and united's. United makes up for it in forwards and defence. I accept the Ole tax might have an impact on the judgement of the players.

Lee must've been drinking :francis:

Robbie probably shouldn't have brought it up, this was around January, don't know if it contributed to Chig's passing. :hubie:

Lee's hurting obviously but his high and mighty act needs to stop. He takes the piss out of people all the time.

But what Tuchel's Chelsea seem do better than the others especially Liverpool is protect leads/goals. Chelsea can score one goal and just withstand everything you throw at them. We're vulnerable in that regard.

Our depth is also an issue. God forbid one of the regulars gets injured.. It's slim pickings :francis:


We watched Milner who's almost 36 get worked due to the absence of TAA while Chelsea can bring Kante and Chilwell off the bench. City has a potential top 4 team on the bench

what does that clip have to do with chig passing?

everyone on the internet was getting at CHIG

I'll assume cause they all have a huge following, so it made it worse. I know DT was cracking jokes on Twitter at the time, Mark and Robbie never referenced it again.

I figured Chig passed away due to health problems.
