      You can't win with Burley. I remember in one of the previous show he told off Dan for not taking charge of the direction of the show. Not he told Dan off for directing the show. Lol

      Why would you not want GKs to have to be more disciplined and less reckless? Good call. Taylor is still shyte however, and broke up play today more than Everton's Doucoure. Penchester Utd are w@nkk and will be found out this year.

      I don't feel sorry for Pickford one bit after he put van dyk out for a season after a reckless challenge and nothing came of it, it's also the reason why I'm rooting against England in every international game.

      With Great Success Comes Great Failure:

      The match overall was an entertaining frantic mess from both sides with little control.

      Chelsea ran themselves into the ground whereas West Ham were reactive and had the same issue. Someone needed to put their foot on ball so the passing from both could be more meaningful.

      BUT regardless exhale, its just the 2nd game of the season. But be prepared this is going to be a rollercoaster season for Chelsea because the team is gelling, because this young team who are ridiculously talented need time to mature. Some matches they willa run away with a win, some games will be like today, and some games they will be wiped off the map.

      In this instance, Chelsea have never faced how to deal with 10 men, and every team has an issue with that. So exhale, adversity is a positive because it forces you learn, mature as a team, and if you don't then its a problem. Poch will have the players full attention this training week and they will learn and they will improve.

      Fans enjoy your team, critique yes but be smart about it.

      1. What business does Anthony have playing for Manchester United?
      Erik Ten Hag is clearly only playing him because of blatant favouritism, and because he put pressure on himself signing the guy for £90M.

      2. It's his second season now, but I have yet to discern Erik Ten Hag's football. Online personalities seem to know what his football is about, but we never see it manifested.
      Compare that to Roberto Di Zerbi's football and it's tangible manifestation that we see, despite being in charge for a shorter period.

      Also guys i think that african goalkeeper onana was outstanding in those utd games ,makes great saves and amazing passes yet i dont hear that been talked about, what you guys think?

    33. Eric Burckson on

      Pickford is complete idiot ! That is how he injured Virj . Referees put up with his nonsense because he’s Englands #1 . He’s an embarrassment. Ramsdale is a better goalie ., Southgate wears Lingerie in bed .
