    Yeah Werner looked great. Didnt get a goal but he won a penalty (against fellow Aussie Maty Ryan :emoji_slight_frown:) and he's shown just how intelligent he is with his positioning. Great signs ahead!

    Testing Kai and Mount on the wings, I think Lampard desperately wants to play both of them at the same time, but ultimately they're gonna have to fight for a central position in the 4-2-3-1 formation. Although I hope he can remake the legenday Ballack - Essien - Lampard midfield with Havertz - Kante - Mount.

    Embarrassing, this is the strongest squad they've had in years and Benfica still finds a way to make their fans feel miserable. Gonna troll my Benfica friends all day, my boy Tecatito Corona gonna lead Porto to another Primeira title :banderas:

    @Jakey ignore what those moronic pundits say about Chelsea's performance, there were some good signs and for me the most important aspect was seeing a semblance of attacking impetus. Werner was, to one's surprise, very lively and we already see hints of his ridiculous mobility: peeling off defenders, running into space + attacking the channels, he's a weapon and once the team figures out his routes he'll be getting through on goal more than anyone else in the league. King Kai was more subdued but he's still a developing player and his roles hasn't been defined yet, let's have this convo 2 years from now if anything. Need to see more from RLC and the rest of the midfield though, Lampard's obsession with stuffing in as many attacking players will work in some cases, other times it just won't.

    That stupid Peacock deal from NBC sucks too, had to wait for the replay of Spurs-Everton to even see what happened :noah:

    I'd attribute the wear & tear of Klopp's system already taking place in some players, it's happened at Dortmund where the high demand of pressing and moving eventually drained the squad. They haven't replenished well either, who knows if some of their bench players either take a leap of quality or they remain passengers as the starters gets run to the ground. They still boast arguably the best front 3 in the league and TAA is a playmaking machine (although we saw that Leeds exploited his flank mercilessly in that last game)

    I'll start making predictions when November pulls around and we see how each team acclimatizes to this bizarre start. BUT.....I loved Chelsea's recruitments and Arteta brought steel to Arsenal, those two words were mutually exclusive for more than a decade. Pep is still at City cool, Idk what Solksjaer is doing and Sancho is still a question mark, doubt Wolves can replicate their iron-clad form from last season, Leicester will break in half in the final stretch since that's what Rodger's teams do, hope Sheffield & Leeds can sneak into the top half, Newcastle is interesting but they beat a team that likely will go down to the Championship...

    We can already write off Tottenham after today, what a painful sight it is to see a Mourinho side these days. No shooting, All getting subbed at half, stagnant & reactive football, it hurts since Mou was my biggest inspiration in taking up Tactics/Analysis. James gonna k--- it, looked motivated and hungry to impress, hoping Don Carlo can take them far!

    Premier League is back!

    Liverpool vs Leeds is shaping up to be a thriller, Leeds just scored a phenomenal equalizer just as I typed this. Let’s see how this game develops, Leeds using those 3rd man runs to perfection on the break

    Yeah, really s-----y situation. I thought he was for sure gone after this season. Don’t like the fact Barca is pretty much holding him hostage but...it’s all business at the end of the day so I get it. It just sucks the last couple years of greatness from Messi are being wasted on these mediocre Barca teams.

    Obviously rather had him stay but it was like 90% sure he would leave last year. So this year was kind of a bonus. I wish him well and hope he succeeds over there!
