The feeling mutual! I could be worse to he a 3 point lane supporter. It’s one of the one of horrors of life.

I didn’t insult you, i told you the reality, wether you like it or not. Why are you running to insult, when no one has insulted you. This not a secret, even Lampard admitted that they used to call, 3 point lane, go and watch the clip, instead of protesting here. We had been better than you before Roman, and are still better than you post Roman. I feel your pain.

The issue is, we don’t judge things according to your perception or my perception. The authorities set the rules based on legal bases that guide what is acceptable and what is not. So if the authorities said it’s legal, even after investigating it for more than 6 months, then any other opinion is redundant. As long as it’s in the books, it’s legal to use it.

Well, the authorities have the answer to that question. The way the media and rival fans want Chelsea to be charged is crazy. But at least Chelsea is safe for now. Do you think the premier league would have let Chelsea of the hook if we had been guilty? No chance!

On the footballing matter, we are coming out from a bad slump. I’m delighted we have finally stopped to rot, now we can look forward with our game against City. Anything other than a defeat will be fantastic.

I don’t think Havetz primary position is a winger; I think his best position is where Odergard is playing, which is the no. 10 that floats behind the striker. That is where he was deadly when he was at Leverkusen. Since he joined the Premier League, he was turned into a false nine, which he is not. If you were Arteta, would you have sacrifaced Odergard and played Havertz in the 1O? I don’t think so, and he is trying to prove that Havertz is a success. Time will tell, though.

Anyone except Arteta sees that Arsenal are in dire need of a prolific striker. Havetz and Jesus are not the answer to their goal-scoring problems. They are crating enough chances but are only lacking finishing touches. You can’t rely on Saka, Odergard, and Martinelli. They are facing the same problem that Chelsea is facing, and worse, they have lost their best player to injury.

Hats off to Amorem and United; they have been superb in the last two games; maybe United have not turned the corner? a bit too early, but the signs are there. they are finding their feet defensively, and the way they defended today, was master class.

Personally, I do feel when the season reaches February, weed will be separated from grass, and experience will come into play. Apart from Arsenal, City, and Liverpool, none of the other teams that are mentioned in the title have that experience in playing with the pressure. Squad size sometimes does matter, yes, but that is not the deciding factor. Just look at previous title winners; aside from City, none had squad depth. Whoever keeps their best players fit and on the pitch will have the advantage; that is so far Liverpool, in my opinion. Definitely, I would take a top-4 position right now and use that to motivate the younger players; we have to start a title charge next time. But this season? I will be surprised if we are anywhere near the title in the title race come March. Our keeper is the worst in the top 7, and our defence can’t defend; we have to outscore teams to win every match. Imagine we had only 3 clean sheets in the whole season. Someone has to look me in the eye and tell me if Sanchez can be in the title race with Allison and Raya.

Threeps,

We are not fooling anyone, mate; that is simply an honest opinion. Yesterday’s game highlighted why we cannot be considered as title challengers yet. People can point to our second eleven or so, but you need the team to gel, also not forgetting that Maresca is only at Chelsea for 5 months, and he inherited a team in crisis. If we look back at the posts of the posters who are now posting on ‘Chelsea is in the title race‘ what they posted about Chelsea in early August, you will hardly find anyone who fancied Chelsea to be in the top 8, let alone in the title race. Even pundits like J.Carragher, G. Neville, A. Shearer, and I. Wright had to change their predictions of Chelsea.

Maresca has surprised many people, including myself. The way he handled our crisis in early August is impressive and deserves credit. He has created two teams out of a club that was in total mess. Remember when we sacked Pochottino, which many quartets myself included didn’t agree with but now look to be the right decision. Everyone tipped Chelsea to struggle to finish in the top 10. Based on the circumstances raised above, I don’t see how Chelsea could sustain a title charge. Despite our numbers, we have limited quality; take Palmer, Caicedo, and Colwill out of that team, and we will struggle to finish in the top 6.

Compared to our alledged rivals for the title, who have a settled squad that has won this league before and who knows how to handle the pressure, getting a manager is 25% of the task. Liverpool have a settled squad who are winners; players like VVD, Salah, Allison, TTA, and Robertson will be an invaluable asset for Liverpool, despite them hiring a new manager last summer, and that is why you see their team growing. Arsenal has a manager and a team that has been together for the last 4 years; aside from their quality, their manager/coach is settled. I really can’t see how Chelsea can beat that to win this title. The objective is to stay together for a period, instill Maresca’s style of play, especially playing from the back, fight for the top 4, sharpen the skills of these young players, and then mount a title challenge.

It’s never a three-horse race and never was. It was a three-horse race if you included the champions who are having their worst season in recent time. But now it’s a two-horse race between the North London kings and Mersyside warriors. Anything other than that is just a media narrative. After that, who follows them in the top 4? yes we can feature that conversation.

London’s best team keeps getting better and better. I envy this team!

If I were a Liverpool fan, I would rather play Arsenal now than in the final. Right now, Liverpool are stronger than Arsenal, and Arsenal are struggling for goals, and with the defence of Liverpool being decent, then I think Liverpool would fancy their chances of beating them.

I think Rashford could have been useful on games like this. He has pace and can score goals on his day. also curious to know why Onana didn’t play?

Well, I have to say Amorim is up to the task; at least this United team has some spirit and fight back in them, and you have to credit that to the arrival of Amorim. He is already developing his own trusted players. Amad is one of them, and with the experience of Bruno, I think Amorim should play two strikers up top. that will teams a food for thought. Zirkzee and Hojllund up top, supported by Bruno int the no 10 will be handy for any opposition defence.

It was an important win, but it nearly gave me a heart attack. I don’t know why we put ourselves in these nerve-wracking moments. Our concentration, especially in the defensive area, needs to be there in the 90 minutes. Colwill was excellent today, but only switched off once, and we were punished. Tosin was flawless today and deserved the player of the match award; I don’t know who was given, and Caicedo? This guy has proven his critics wrong; he is as important to our system as Palmer is. Fernandez also came from a long way; another assist for him today will do no harm to his confidence; he is putting a captain’s performance. Also, Cucurella was excellent throughout the match; I don’t know why he was sent off; I hope Maresca will have a word with him. Now he misses the Everton match unless we appeal. This is probably one of his best games, and he ended up being sent off? We have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly Cucurella.

Big goal for Jackson; he desperately wanted to score today, and thankfully he has scored. 9 goals and 3 assists for this season, he is in good shape. Sancho should have scored, but his all-round performance was good. Teams are now targeting Palmer instead of pressing Chelsea, and that is playing into our hands. Long may it continue.

We are not looking that far. We have already stated that we are not in the title race this season. Most of our competitors for the top 4, except Villa, have won on Saturday and Sunday. I’m not getting carried away.
