Pal of mine went to the Chelsea game today, he has since put a post on FB saying he is not a betting man, but he will bet Sheff Utd do not go down. He was very impressed. I was as equally Impressed with Brighton. Ave had this thought for a season or so. The days of mick McCarthy, big Sam, Mark Hughes, are surely long gone. I am now seeing " lesser" PREM teams, and there's no way I mean it in a derogatory sense. That are coming to City, they are organised and playing good football. Probably the only young English manager breaking the mould is Eddie Howe at Bournemouth. Would love to see Brightons possession time today. If Brighton could of found someone to finish today, hmmmmm. Probably seen the save of the season today, from Fernandinho 😂
Watch MOTD. 😁👍

Robinson was a real handful, he’s going to be a very good prospect, can see them struggling to hold on to him.

They’re hard to break down, they work hard for each other, you need to move the ball quickly otherwise they swamp you.

RLC would have been a game changer in this type of game game, someone I didn’t mention earlier, and also CHO, when these players are back fit Frank will have a much stronger squad to select from.

Those that are writing us off and criticising us are obviously concerned, I’m happy to bet them that we’ll finish above their club and doubled it up to be the highest London club in the PL 👍😎💙

Callum Robinson? He is in his mid 20’s now , wasn’t a big scorer with Preston

Big shout to say you will be above Spurs ?

Cant find a lower leagues thread this year, thoughts on Harry Arter last night Homie?
The simple answer is he was stupid after being booked. I think the initial card was fair but while I thought there was a touch on him, I can see why the referee thought it was simulation but it could have been called as a foul on him as well. One of those you enjoy when it's the other side and one you get mad at when your player does it. Gritty performance against a typical Warnock physical side to get the draw

Well he was excellent today, he could have caused us a lot more trouble, not seen him before, I don’t watch or read about Preston, maybe he plays better in a different system and/or with better players now at SU? He was impressive, irrelevant of his background, which doesn’t always tell a story, just look at the transformation in Kov and Jorginho to the stick they were getting last season!

Kante, Pedro, CHO, James, RLC all not far away from returning, they’ll make a huge difference to what I think is already a very good mix of experience and youth and with what I’ve seen of Spurs and Arsenal, and knowing how they both choke towards the end, we’ll go from strength to strength as the season goes on, yes they’ll be some bumps that sone will jump on, but I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people once our injuries dry up.

We stopped ourselves lol.

Just saying how I see it, far too many players that aren’t at the usual level for Chelsea and never will be.

That’s obvious because they’ve been used to going out and buying top players, regardless of cost.

The positive to the ban is Chelsea sticking with their youth/younger players and giving them a real chance. They may not be successful in the short term but long term, I think it’ll benefit Chelsea.

These are not exceptional young players though, that’s obvious too.

I never said they were, but Mount looks as good as anything Arsenal have brought through.

Same with Abraham. 4 in 4 in the PL this season, 25 in the Championship last season, looked excellent against United another 2 goals today, I think he could be a real star up top for Chelsea. In Him, Mount, Pulisic and Hudson-Odoi they've got a young and seriously talented attacking batch of players.

It's always going to be hard with the current squad and the transfer embargo so I think Chelsea need to be patient. Perhaps top 6 is a big ask but I think the youngsters can only improve with regular playing time

Going to call this out, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd are all fighting for fourth place. They will all make top 6 willing to bet money towards HFH that this is the case.

Agreed. They're all strong in areas but they all have glaring weaknesses and I think it's going to be a close battle between the 3 of them. I think Everton, Wolves, Leicester and maybe even West Ham will push them but ultimately all fall outside the top 6.

I don't disagree with you but I think those three clubs have a little more quality then the others you mentioned.

But they do have a capacity to challenge for top 5 - 6. Hence my statement about the top 6 finisher.
