Well, Chelsea suck right now. Tuchel said before the season that we didn’t need to address the midfield, yet our midfield is getting absolutely shredded game after game. Going to be a long season if this keeps up.

My fantasy team is in absolute shambles right now. Zinchenko out, Sanchez and Dunk for Brighton, Eze not getting any points but still being an absolute baller. I need Son and KDB to pick it the **** up, Cancelo too.

Good grief, Bournemouth sacked Scott Parker today. Four games into the season. Talk about being quick on the trigger.

They want to stay up.. guess they felt it was necessary and better to start the process of getting a new coach and get him in with enough run of games left. Still think they are going down though.

I think espn fantasy soccer is better. You can sub every team prior to them starting the game. You don’t get surprised like this league. I also had James. Trippier might not play either.

Got to see Fluminense v Coritiba at the Maracana in Rio recently. Great atmosphere despite half the stadium being closed off. 7 goals scored in the match, so excitement level was high. The message on the board basically says ‘quit shooting fireworks in the stadium or fan attendance will be limited next match’.

Also saw Boca Juniors museum (no home match while I was there) in Buenos Aires

Pulisic came in at right wing back yesterday?

Free Christian!

When Reece James is hurt and you are relying on a 30 something year old washed up RB/RCB, you have to look for a back up option for that game. No other choice.

The Free Pulisic stuff is just delusional, honestly. No surprise that the clickbait masters Men In Blazers are leading the charge. The teams attack is in shambles, there’s no doubt about that, but Pulisic has played about 100 minutes so far and really has failed to flash. Some of that is on the team attacking dynamic at the time with even Mount and Havertz looking like a shell of themselves, but they at least have been providing off ball work. This is where CP really struggled unfortunately. He is best on a team where he can make runs behind and crash the box on breaks, but he struggles against low blocks where everything is clogged.. and that’s what Chelsea mostly encounters.

I think the pressure Americans put on Pulisic is crushing too, honestly. He’s still only, what, 23? He has time, but he is also what he is at the moment. He probably needs to go to Series A, Bundesliga, or to a mid to lower level EPL team. He’s not starting for a top 6 EPL team at the moment, and US fans need to accept that. He would be better off with less pressure.

Hopefully MLS sees all this American money continuing to ship overseas and pulls their head out of their *** and tries to make the league actually worth following.

Lol what? It's literally the same group of people. MLS is just NFL owners looking to make use of their stadiums in the NFL offseason. Some of them already run clubs abroad anyway.

How were Liverpool able to score a 98’ winner when only five minutes had been added on? I only saw the highlights, so may be missing some context as to what occurred during stoppage time.

The move was doomed from the start. Chelsea are dogshit at bringing on young players and it didn't ever make sense to buy Pulisic. Sarri wasn't even informed until the move was done and Tuchel barely wanted him at BVB. I don't know if it was ultimately Christian's decision or BVBs but not going to Liverpool has severely stunted his growth at the club level. He would have been behind Salah, but he would have played a lot more and Klopp could have unlocked his ability.

Lol

Easy to have this view when Chelsea is “your most hated rival in the PL”. Doesn’t mean its true, it’s just your bias showing.

“Didn’t ever make sense to bring CP on”… yet before Tuchel, CP was doing really well at Chelsea. Project Restart Pulisic was probably the best version of Pulisic to play on the European stage… and guess where that was. The truth is it is very much a system and manager issue.. Pulisic doesn’t fit what Tuchel wants. You can blame Tuchel and his system all you want, it’s fair game and something that Chelsea fans already talk a lot about, but saying Chelsea is dogshit about bringing on young players when there are literally dozens of examples over the years that say otherwise is just a lazy and biased take. But you do you.
