Premier League 23/24: Gameweek 2 (Aug 18-21)

[LookingForEric]

So the Chelsea squad for todays game had a cost of around £575-600M.

Basically what Arteta used to assemble his squad. The difference is so, so damning.

Arteta really did do it so very well.

Going from Brighton to Chelsea is a legitimate downgrade at this time.

Poor career choice from Moises.

Agree with most of this. But tell me why Enzo is a top 3 team player? I think he’s been forgettable pretty much since he’s signed.

Against Liverpool I thought he was fantastic. In my opinion he’s a brilliant talent, he’s not a £106M midfielder at all, but he would slot into a City team like a glove.

He isn’t gonna assist or score many, but he’s a super player.

Sky has even rolled out Cashley....good lord.

He is a liability defensively though. As great as he is on the ball he is very easy to get past

 

[James Bond]

Damn I forgot he turned down Liverpool. As usual they’re about to take this **** to their graves.

Sterling might be happy about the signing though as maybe LFC supporters will get tired of trying to boo them both and Caicedo may gets the nod as #1 target.

Worrying that we were in for Muddy tbh. Too much of our good recruitment has been luck.

He's a talented player, just in a bad situation and doesn't have much confidence. His explosiveness and ability on the ball are pretty apparent when you watch him, it just doesn't lead to anything because the team doesn't set him up and he squanders the chances he gets because he's in his own head.

Trossard for 25 is better business than Mudryk for 100, that part of it is pretty clear. We did kinda luck out with that one because Trossard wanted out of Brighton just as we lost out on Mudryk.

Caicedo had the debut A-M tells you Havertz had last week.

Is that true? Its getting worrying wtf going on

How can Ange implement his style at Sp**s but Poch with hundreds of millions of talents has to go for the grind out results method? And proceed to lose with said method

That what happen i guess when you dont throw 1b and make your team confused lol

He's a top midfielder, his passing alone is top-dollar, but he reminds me of Chelsea Fabregas. The vision is elite but he's terrible off the ball and poor physically. Plus I don't think he has the temperament to be an elite controller. You can see how he lost his head in the second half trying to win the game. The West Ham defenders defended against several lofted balls with ease. To sit at the same table as the Xav or Kroos, he has to calm down and better choose his moments to go for the spectacular.

They had him walk all the way around the pitch when he came off?

Mudryk is just like Daniel James at United. People saw the speed and thought he was going to be amazing. He's now playing at relegated Leeds.

Chelsea is a revolving door of talent. It's exceptionally hard for any coach to build anything substantial when your boss can one day sell one of your assets for the next big thing.

 

[Synical]

The only good thing about this Chelsea side is their shirt. Really nice.

 

[LookingForEric]

Anyone think that players will start being more cautious with all these ACL injuries occurring?

I think Mudryk's talent is overstated. Some of the first touches I saw are laughably bad, and it's too late in his career to improve on that. I would use him on the right wing and coach him to be a Walcott/Muller type winger. Make runs off the ball and keep things tidy. He doesn't have the skill set to be anything more than that as things stand b

 

[Maddar16]

He is a quito not a fighter.

if only many people knew about geography, top shelf mate

 

[Synical]

I completely forgot West Ham had 10 men!
