Good to go to the international break with a positive attitude

they were FOOLS to not buy a WC CB this summer

that is a team that is trying to win EVERYTHING

and they go in with THAT set of CB's???????

roflmaoooooooo

I said as soon as Laporte went down they were fucked

They were unlucky though. Imagine pool lost both Van djik and Matip for long term they will suffer.

Has there been a game this season we haven't been a better side? And we played twice against European champion. 

Leicester tbh we deserved to lose. But we have improved. Sure there's still lots to improve and fix but we are getting there. Can't beat the winning feeling and if we keep the confidence high in these kids then we can do brilliantly

On another note: 9 goals so far from Abraham and we are early in October... and he just turned 22.

A friend in Italy - fan of AS Roma - told me that he heard about him as a goal-scorer.

Hi guys, couldnt watch the game, but im delighted with the win and scoreline, how did we play?

Great. Should have scored more if anything. Bad couple of moments at the back and we were rightly punished but wasn't as nervy of a win as before. Good to win before the international break, let's hope united get waxed

Jesus, what happened to the site?!

WOW. What a win and an emphatic one. Willian MOTM by far for me. Brilliant defensive work, constantly chasing back and regaining possession and also setting up Mount superbly for our 2nd. Should of had another assist if CHO scored too. That was a brilliant solo run. So many positives to take out. Another game where an academy player sets up another academy player (this time CHO for Abraham). Mount scoring. And we are in 2 points of City. If someone said we would be in this position after the 2nd game of the season, I would have laughed my head off. We got a nice set of fixtures coming ahead too. Good to go into the international break with a win for a change. Lamps has won me over already, must say.

'"Let's not get carried away, it's a long season and we feel we might have picked up more points than we've actually got. We've not been at our absolute best and we can be a lot better. We shouldn't be sloppy, at 2-0 we should go 3-0. We're scoring goals, great, but can we tighten up? Yes."

Not sure what happened. Same issue when I loaded up the site on mobile and tablet.

Saw the good and the bad from both Zouma and Tomori. They both win everything that comes near them in the air bit are nervy a lot of the time with the bal at their feet. They have to learn when the time is right to play with it. When teams press like Southampton did today, just boot it or play it safe. 

I clench and wince every time one of them gets the ball played back to them and there's a player pressing them. Tomori almost got caught a few times today in that way.

I think the real deal would be combining Tomori, Rüdiger and Christensen, adapting the opponent. Zouma is too shaky, he should be a carabao-cup and Sheffield-guy.

Motm is pretty obvious Willian or Alonso.

Willian for me by a mile. If that was his debut people would be saying better than Messi. His tracking back, his sublime play for the second, constant breaking up of their moves. So easy to take him for granted.

yes, but even with a healthy Laporte that is not a truly WC CB group, and Shitty go 2 deep in terms of WC or near that in almost every position

they spend a club record on a top 4 or so in the world RB and then barely play him, lolol

it isnt like I was not saying this before the summer window even opened

Willian was fantastic but he didn't score a hattrick and created 5 chances so I won't compare him to messi [emoji6][emoji6] just yet

Thank you Vesper. We had two of the three early games here and did not get Chelsea.
