Chelsea kissed on the dick overnight. Liverpool very unlucky.

Spent over 300 million on tranfers and play crap, they make take some time to gell with so many new players but eventually they will click I reckon

What happened? I saw a 95th min goal.
Are Chelsea strong this year. I know they had been purchasing youth but I assume since Romans gone they just dont have the money anymore.

They were bought by a wealthy US investment group so they are still spending plenty. As for their form this year, they are back in the Champions League for the first time in about three years and their depth is being tested, right at the time they have an injury crisis at centre back and up front.

Going to try and watch a bit of EPL this year. I need a team to support. Who is the closest to Parra? I love a good underachiever.

No matter what your job, having one of your best mates/“brothers” die unexpectedly is going to impact you for quite some time.

Add to that massive player turnover and a heavily disrupted pre-season.

Premiership droughts (current EPL clubs only):

Team	Drought
Liverpool	Reigning champions
Manchester City	1 year
Chelsea	8
Manchester United	12
Arsenal	21
Leeds	33
Everton	38
Aston Villa	44
Nottingham Forest	47
Tottenham	64
Burnley	65
Wolverhampton	66
Sunderland	89
Newcastle	98

Everton have won f**k all since the mid-80s and they wear blue, so maybe they are most like Parra. Six teams have never won it; Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Fulham and West Ham.

0-0 against Crystal Palace at the moment. Come on you blue merkins!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They should be the biggest club in the game ffs! Who is their coach?!? That merkin is holding them back.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wake up merkin! Grealish with the late winner!!!

 

[Gary Gutful]

Go the Toffees!

 

[Twizzle]

Go the Toffees!

Decent win, Palace were 3rd last week. If you're gonna be a Toffee, you have to learn to hate Liverpool, they take their rivalries very seriously in the motherland.

I missed first 20 but I’m not sold on this 5-4-1 lineup. We seem to be covering any long movements but I reckon short passing would destroy us. That said, the players available, I’m not sure what you go with. We’re lacking distinct outside players

 

[85 Baby]

And when do have ball, we don’t know where to run to. We don’t have the work ethic or awareness to control passes in midfield

 

[85 Baby]

And when its in our back third, it’s practically 8-1-1. Zero midfield presence. And now Metcalfe being out of position has resorted to hacking ankles.

 

[85 Baby]

… have we done any sessions together before today?
Wow Canada butchered that

Leeds United! Same colours, and record of underachievement.

* Except it looks like they stick to a white jersey with minimal yellow now...

 

[85 Baby]

OMFG… we had the ball with 7 of our within spitting distance and we just hoof it to lose control. Take the ball up FFS
