Well we will see what he will say next come May when Chelsea have defended the title and are going to the champions league final. 

Look at our signings this summer and look at his. It should tell you who is defensive.

We buy a DM who can surge forward and take on one or two players. A DM who can also make himself available for crosses in the box.(bakayoko)

He buys the opposite who is poor going forward

We buy a creative CB who has shown as that he can cross and has a wide range of passes.(Rudiger) 

He buys Lindelof. Can't add to the attacking power.

Even compare our number 9's and you can see.

What a goal from Coutinho from free-kick. 0-2 Pool against Leicester.

Never bored watching L teams playing each other.

I know the table is a bit meaningless this early in the season but it's really strange seeing that Newcastle can move just a point behind us with a win today. I've seen them a couple of times this season and they looked right there with Palace as the worst side in the league. Like absolutely dreadful.

I don't get Bobby Madley - every Arsenal free kick outside of the box, he whistles the first millisecond.

For example the Sanchez free kick just before the Lacazette tap in - could have easily played the advantage, but did not. Totally opposite of what he did in the other penalty area with Jay Rodriguez.

Why the hell would you play advantage there when it was a crystal clear penalty kick?!

Still... How many chances do West Brom need though???

Crystal Palace are clearly going down.

It's actually ridiculous how unbelievably easy Man United's fixture list has been so far this season. Played nothing but relegation candidates in the PL and blown them all away and in the CL have a piss easy Europa League-level group. It's as if Mourinho himself hand picked the schedule.

They have not been tested at all yet. What have they conceded so far, 2 goals this season?  

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Then again they struggled before in fixtures like this. Obviously real test will come up and all but at the same time does seem they've got themselves more together then anything else.

Easier start means tougher mid and late season, it all balances out throughout the whole season.

Indeed, but in my opinion (and José's I'm sure) it's probably ideal to have a piss easy start like they've had. Perfect to build up confidence and goal difference against shite opposition so by the time you play anyone decent everything is set.
