[Albion] Premier League 23-24/9/23

[Kinky Gerbil]

Conor Gallagher being named captain is a perfect microcosm of everything that’s wrong with this Chelsea team. Young, inexperienced and mentally weak.


He did the same at Spurs with Ryan Mason and a few other youngsters, it worked because the older heads were toxic

Not sure it's going to work when you've had 1 billion spent on the squad

Booo, Saudi FC 1 up at Sheff U

 

[banjo]

Toon 1 up. How was that not handball.

He stopped it going out with his hand

Yep. See also Romero vs Arsenal (penalty given). Inscrutable handball rule strikes again.

0-2 BDB

Chelsea Chelsea! Chelsea Chelsea!
We're gonna make it a bbllllluuuee daaay.

 

[Weststander]

Boehly and Winstanley

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Another fantastic showing from the newly promoted 3 this weekend.

1 points from 3 home games - the 1 point needed a awful VAR call against 10 men

He's made the same amount of league appearances as their actual captain mind. They don't have experience, that's the problem.

Shame though. It's what might keep Chelsea and Everton up.

They have silva at the back, he would be a better captain? Surely?

Problems there according to the Telegraph this week. Not afraid to disagree with Pochettino’s decisions and sulk if he doesn’t get his own way. Sounds like Poch needs him out altogether rather than promoting him, which is a big issue.

Yes. I guess. They've got a lot of excellent academy graduates who have played a hell of a lot of games for their ages. Choosing a 39 year old Silva who we know is outspoken isn't that straightforward. Sounds like a tricky situation as it was for Potter.

We have ten points more than Chelsea after 6 games. Incredible.

Not only that, it felt like they spent the entire summer trying to get rid of him.

Only 10?

Not only that, it felt like they spent the entire summer trying to get rid of him.

They did the same with Pulisic and others, tried to sell them all Jan and expect them to perform as first choices.


Chairman apparently stormed into changing room

 

[Berty23]

Do we know if Chelsea are running a September goal of the month for the premier league?

 

[Bodian]

We have ten points more than Chelsea after 6 games. Incredible.

14 points clear of the bottom three.

To put that into context, we ended the season before last 16 points clear of 18th place, and last season 28 points clear.
