This should be Willians lot for the rest of the season, maybe coming on with 20 mins to go!

Only if we are 4, 0 up, and that will limit his playing time a bit.

Think big Sam may have bitten off more than he can chew with west brom

It's amazing to think there's actually another team even worse than them.

Hopefully Big Sam won't last much longer and this will put an end to his managerial career. Then he can go off to talk nonsense to the sun readers on talk sport.

think I heard a stat yesterday saying most of sheff utds game they won last year were by just 1 goal so they were not that far off being rammel.
That said I thought last year they were excellent and don’t think anyone forecast them being this poor. Any Sheff Utd care to put a finger on what’s gone wrong.
Edit, could a lot of it be down to the keeper going back to Man Utd. He had a stonking season.

8 goals in 17 games has to be a pretty big part of it. Most years the teams at the bottom can't score goals. Sometimes it's about letting bucketloads in as well but the lack of goals is usually the primary reason.

So far, 4 out of the bottom 5 are a good way clear of being the lowest goalscorers, Brighton being the exception.

They were excellent last year, it's a shame that this year is going how it is.

Wow.
I wasn't expecting this.

City have been ruthless but Chelsea have been shocking.

Mendy better than Kepa?? I’m not sure.

VAR continue to make people scratch their heads

If it was anyone else but Lampard on charge Abramovich would have sacked them by now - biggest summer spenders in Europe

Brilliant by City this.


Even better by the bookies who crazily offered 6/5 City and 5/2 City/City ?

Can anyone explain how the referee penalises the goalkeeper for picking up a back pass and then gives the freekick outside the penalty area?

the easy answer is Taylor got it (along with other decisions) wrong, should be a indirect FK from where the keeper touches it

A lot of the Chelsea players have given up. No urgency or desire to chase and do the ugly, hard stuff.

Wonder if the chelsea fans are as worried about Lampards future as they were about Artetas a few weeks ago?
