Newcastle red card. Schar.

Never a red card in my book - wouldn't even give them a yellow for that. Might be a yellow for the man that goes down for play acting.

What has happened to football.

That’s game over. Wolves are shockingly poor and could go down this season I feel. 

As much as it pains me to say, the way Arse press like maniacs as a unit whilst also playing beautiful passing moves is amazing. Like City, their players just seem to have a telepathic sense of EXACTLY where their teammates are at all times.

This is the sort of thing that we’ll be hoping for from Maresca who comes from the same coaching tree.

100%, painful to watch how good they've become but honestly think we have more talented individuals (except CB) and if we give it time we will be better than them.

Alex McCarthy is an absolute shit keeper on the ball, so hardly unexpected

[Vesper 29,247]

just saw the red card

MADNESS

so fake

horrid call

I would be raging if I was a head chopper fangirl

[Vesper 29,247]

so happy to have EPL back though

so competitive a league

[Mhsc 949]

Is there a talkchelsea FPL group btw? I am playing for the first time in many years

[Mhsc 949]

Awful pass from Saliba right in front of his own goal - difference is when we do it we don't get away with it. Need to be more forgiving with our CBs.

[Vesper 29,247]

Jurrien Timber on for first time after that horrible injury
 

[Vesper 29,247]

wow

explosive burst from Timber

crazy pace, so it looks like no long-term effects

[Vesper 29,247]

2 nil

Saka

[Mhsc 949]

That's another school boy mistake in defence, instead of conceding they somehow get the ball back, down the field and score themselves
