skottytee 12 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Really looking forward to seeing Batshuayi and N'Golo. Last season was so rubbish, let's hope they freshen things up. Leicester might very well have sold us the reason they won the title judging by their performances yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa better perform this season after his childish train wreck of an effort last season! Hope he gets back to his best, and/or hoping we get Luka - a player we should never have sold and won't spit his dummy out when things aren't going his way.

Mane would've been a great option to bolster our attack. Watching Arsenal fall apart was beautiful, but watching the scousers destroy them was a little worrying. Hate to say it but I think they will be up there. Their array of young attacking midfielders is impressive. They just need to grow a back bone and not fall apart against the lesser sides. Totally agree about Mane, looks some player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree about Mane, looks some player Let's not get carried away with Liverpool, just because of one win against Arsenal and especially against an Arsenal side missing their key defenders. Granted, they don't defend well with their first choice defenders but certainly won't have been as bad as yesterday. If anything, yesterday's game summed up Liverpool under Klopp - look decent going forward but rubbish at the back and one minute they look brilliant, the next absolutely appalling. The only reason people are regarding them as legitimate contenders for anything is because of Klopp but put him aside for one minute and you'll realize they aren't all that great. A few decent players and a whole bunch of average ones in the team. There's not one player you can genuinely say 'he's world class and will walk into any of the best clubs' first XI'.

Hope you're right lol. tbh though Klopp has a good track record, and the scousers actually played quite consistently well for the last ten games or so of last season. Their defeats came when they rested pretty much their whole team as they focused on the europa league Commentator said they scored more PL goals than any team in 2016, and they have just got rid of Skrtel and Kolo, so it just remains to be seen what their two new CBs are like. That moreno is a tool though, let's hope they keep him. Feel free to remind me you're right when they fall apart against a newly promoted team sometime soon hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Literally have no idea who Conte's going to go for. So many permutations in pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,909 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Both Creswell and Lanzini are out for sure, right? That's two of their best and most important players. Ayew can't possibly be fully settled and gelled with his teammates. Payet is said to be not fully recovered yet. At home, opening day, everyone at 100%, and with all the energy and excitement there's really no excuse not to get the 3 points today. It would be great to get one of the tougher fixtures out of the way this early rather than later in the season when they'd be more settled. Again, I'm confident in our attack, shitting it about our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 https://www.premierleague.com/match/14043 Chelsea v West Ham United preview Dimitri Payet (fitness) is unlikley to start for West Ham but could be a substitute. Andre Ayew is fit enough to make his debut, if selected. Manuel Lanzini, Aaron Cresswell and Gokhan Tore (all knee) will be missing. Kurt Zouma (knee) is out for Chelsea, while Jon Obi Mikel is at the Olympics. Did you know? Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League meetings with West Ham United at Stamford Bridge (W7 D3) and have not lost at home to them in the league since a 3-2 defeat in September 2002. West Ham were unbeaten against Chelsea in the league last season (W1 D1); the first time that they have achieved this since 2002/03. Chelsea have won more points than any other Premier League side on the opening weekend of action (51 points). Diego Costa has scored five goals in seven league appearances for Chelsea in August. What the managers say Chelsea's Antonio Conte: "Expectations for every team are very high. After a bad season like last year we are working very hard to be ready to start. We know this season will be very tough for every team in every game." (See Conte: We are ready) West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "We have a good squad – we’ve kept most of the players and we’ve added some players too. We are expecting them to improve us – we’d expect that even without them because we have been together for a year now and had a good last season."
