Chelsea sucks a**

We couldn’t score last year so we swapped out much of the attack. This year in a new setup, it’s much of the same. We are a top team until we get into the final 3rd and then we fall apart. Can’t win if you can’t score.

Our proven attacker who was the glue that held the front together hasn’t played 1 minute yet because of an injury and we looked okay because we had a backup that could at least do a poor man’s job of what Nkunku could do. Then our back up also got hurt and now we are trying to play a system of football that we don’t have the players for.. yet Poch won’t change. We’ve been flailing since. When you can’t even get a goal out of this situation in the screenshot below, you are just playing really, really bad offensive football.

It’s going to be a long next few months considering we have a gauntlet of really tough fixtures coming up after the international break. I can ride out the pain until December/January but if we still can’t even play basic attacking football once we have Nkunku and some other guys back.. then it is what is.. a bad team.

We won. Someone remind me what I’m supposed to do with a win. I can’t remember. Do I clap?

The Everton fans were so loud with their Spirit of the Blues chant at Villa that it sounded like a home match. It was beautiful. Well done

Good draw for Everton in the R16. A bit frustrating that after our ball was drawn, only three were left in the hat and somehow we ended up against the only PL side of the three, but it's tough to ask for better than Burnley at home at this stage. Cool that at least two lower league sides will get through to the QF's.

Better luck to City next year in the League Cup. I'm confident they'll actually win the quadruple one of these years, but it gives them something keep striving for. That and an unbeaten season are pretty much the only things left on the table that Pep hasn't accomplished there yet.

Good grief. I snoozed on checking statuses yesterday and was up today to find I have four players who are listed at 75% chance of playing this week, plus Chillwell who is out. Two of my healthy guys are March and Mitoma currently getting their butts kicked in by Villa.

What Emery has done since arriving at Villa is impressive.

Another bull**** red for Liverpool. Abhorrent officiating.

After going down to 10 men early, it would be a huge victory for Liverpool if they can get out of this with a draw on the road.

Liverpool down to 9 men.

Matip OG bails out the Spurs. Pure heart displayed by LFC for the entirety of the game. Officiating was an abomination, no way else to say it.

Congrats @NorCalVol67

Yeah, they pull Gakpo right after he scores a goal and Jota comes in and gets 2 yellow cards in 24 minutes. Bad luck or managing ?
