This Chelsea lineup is shocking. They aint lose because of the players on Saturday. Lamps pulling that it's the players shyt. :mjlol:

Commentators not calling out the diving... "he doesn't always try to stay on his feet" :pachaha:

"Anticipating the challenge"

you think pepe was the right pick over zaha?


aston villa could get a result today unless giroud has another marvelous performance

Yeah, easily. He's younger and Palace would've wanted around 75-80M for him.

Pepe had 11 G+A in his first season playing under 2.5 managers with no attacking philosophy, no main creator, in a new league and the pandemic. He's too casual and he's not a 72M player but I get why they did the deal.

Arsenal's team is too old. They shouldn't be buying anyone over the next 2/3 years over the age of 25/26.

Rants compared Bruno to Russell Westbrook.

Didn't watch the video but disagree.

Bruno is a team player first and foremost. He elevates lesser players around him and shines even more when he has quality players around him.

Meanwhile Westbrook stifles development of younger players and doesn't get along with other stars.

Bruno is not a stat padder, he'll let struggling teammates take a penalty and always looks to play in his strikers (pretty much everyone at United is unselfish except Daniel James :hhh:)

Meanwhile Steven Adams couldn't average a double-double playing with Westbrook.

Bruno is a finesse player, good technically and tactically. He's not gifted physically but is still very tenacious, especially for his position.

Meanwhile Westbrook relies on his athleticism and has terrible shot and feel for the game.

Only similarities I see is that both are turnover prone and determined/tenacious players.

Lol, Lampard really getting praised for dropping some players who played less than 48 hours ago? :mjtf:

Werner should have been dropped weeks ago.
Not praising him, I'm just saying he was right saying what he said after Arsen match.

Besides Tammy, Zouma, Silva and Pulisic nobody else put up a fight

Chillwell has been on autopilot for a while now too but it seems like no one ever calls him out.
