[ztejas 44236]

Lmao they let Alonso have that?

Ooookaaayyy...

[ztejas 44236]

Damn okay Mount

[ztejas 44236]

Kovacic trying too hard there. No need to one time that 22 mins in.

[TexArcher 39074]

All right, Paycock.  You win.

Awesome to see Stamford Bridge full again.

[ztejas 44236]

Net. Bitch. 

Now let's run it up on these parking brake fucks.

Alonso starting paid off

[TexArcher 39074]

Well, that'll do, Alonso!  Shit, that was perfect.

[TexArcher 39074]

This sure feels like a chance to get that goal differential up.  CP looks like dogshit.

[TexArcher 39074]

[ztejas 44236]

No chickens were bloodlet in the formation of this 2-0 lead.

[ztejas 44236]

"It's not easy for Timo Werner"

Well... nothing is easy for him, is it? 

[ztejas 44236]

Now imagine Lukaku was playing today instead of a 4/10 Werner. 

And I'm really not trying to shit on the guy - I want him to succeed but God it's rough to watch him with the ball at his feet.

CHALOBAH!!!!

[TexArcher 39074]

OMFG CHALOBAH, JESUS H ! ! !

[ztejas 44236]

[ztejas 44236]

Oh man... he looks like he's about to tear up. What an awesome moment. 

[ztejas 44236]

Werner bb what is you doing? 

[APMP 688]

Good start to the season, let's keep the clean sheet.

[ztejas 44236]

3 down 111 to go.

[crash_davis 23470]

Timo is ass my dude. Not sure how after a full season of suckitude, Tuchel can still have faith in him to do anything but suck.

His pace helps keep back lines honest but it's not like there aren't any strikers with similar pace that can actually do shit with the ball. And today a ton of the game was played with them sitting back while we had possession in their 3rd anyway.

On none of the 3 goals scored today did it matter who the #9 was. Sure he played a deflection off their keeper that Puli cleaned up but any decent striker gets into the box and reaches that ball. 

With someone more creative or clinical up front we net 5 today. I don't think Timo is a lost cause but he could use some time on the bench to get his mind right. 

[ztejas 44236]

Also - I didn't understand the arm thing Puli did after his goal. Here you go:

See the tiger eye tattoo across his face?

Yes... I'm saying I didn't understand it before seeing that pic. 

But thank you. Glad we've got you around.

Not sure why you wouldn't want a buy back clause for an academy grad who's shown the potential to be a top striker.  He needs time to develop more, but if he does he's the perfect age to slot back in once Lukaku starts aging out.  

[RichUT 1936]

Option value is never a bad thing. You can discount the possibility that Tammy will continue improving with regular playtime. If he’s a top 5-10 level striker in 4 years, that buy back amount will look like a steal.

[TexArcher 39074]

Absolutely.  Tammy has shown some flashes and he's only 23.  I don't mind losing him, but the buy-back option makes it essentially risk-free.

It's wild that this dude is still on our rolls.  

[MoJames 8258]

Bats to Besiktas.

[MoJames 8258]

Nice video from the pitch, gives a very different perspective.

Ziyech back in training.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Emerson on a season-long loan to Lyon.  It's nice that we broke our transfer record but still managed to make money this window.

Won't let you embed.

[MoJames 8258]

It appears that despite Chalobah's excellent form we are still looking at Kounde and the MF piece could be Saul.

 

[MoJames 8258]

 

Meh

[TexArcher 39074]

That looks like a Jamaican Ultimate Frisbee League jersey.

Tottenham catching strays as always. 

[ztejas 44236]

We're getting there.

Still no Kante although he's active. Ziyech also active although I can't imagine he plays. 

We are so deep up front and really in general. You could make two very good starting XIs out of this squad. 

[MoJames 8258]

Yup crazy how deep we have become post Sarri rebuild.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

I hope we get to see what Timo can do playing off Lukaku against a tired D for the last 20 minutes of the game or so. Though it's probably more likely Lukaku comes off, Havertz slides over to false 9, and Timo plays off Havertz.

Alonso needs to pick up the pace. (If that's possible)

Edited August 22, 2021 by ztejas

[ztejas 44236]

Holy fuck we have a striker that can hold up the ball. 

Nice fucking goal.

[ztejas 44236]

Mount having a bit of a head scratcher.

[morehornsepower 888]

loving this...

[ztejas 44236]

This could get ugly. Arsenal's back is absolutely atrocious. Both sides of the pitch are wide open and they aren't marking anything inside. 

[RichUT 1936]

Lukaku is a total game changer for this squad. The defense has to account for him constantly. So much more room for everyone else.

Or it could just be that Arsenal sucks.

Or both of those things could be true.
