Don’t have any stats but judging by Twitter Chelsea could have more foreign fans than other top clubs. Always demanding wins so they don’t get picked on at school in Jakarta.

Jakarta sure sounds like Leatherhead. And Oxshott.

Everton in total mess again.

Could sack Lampard easily.

Big period for them after world cup, have Wolves, Brighton and Southampton all at Goodison up to mid Jan.

 

Have a feeling he might be gone before then

Ultimately I think they won't, the current form won't be sustained and other terms will improve. But they should finish top 7 which is a big leap forward. 

They've been on this form for almost a year now. They don't look like slowing down any time soon.

Remember when Leicester were shit? They’re 2 points above us. 

Up there with Danny Ward making one save in first 10 games. Currently on a run of six clean sheets in eight.

Have to say that Faes guy at the back looks another amazing pick up for them so perhaps Brendan does know what he is doing defensively after all.

Would appear City like we used to struggle when Grealish doesn’t play. 4 times this season when he hasn’t played a minute they haven’t won, losing 2. 100% win rate when he starts. 

Interesting. Its not like they should though.  With us, when Grealish played, he freed up space for every other player on our pitch.

He was our biggest threat and occupied two players constantly.

For City, surely whoever they pick instead of him is an equivalent threat? Even if he isn't actively doing much in a game these days, surely he's not responsible for occupying two of the opposition in that City team?

He still draws players in at a City, he has a knack of doing it and releasing the ball at the right time. City fans seem to think he’s important to how they play now as well.

There was a YouTube analysis of him when he was with us basically saying that he plays with the ball closer to him than any other player in the league, it was why he was fouled so much, the ball is more or less never more than a metre away from him so the defender has to get closer to him than they do everyone else

His entire game is about space

At city its seemingly space for cancelo which is the problem, it looks nutured

They've got a strong squad, possibly better than ours IMO. Midfield of Maddison, Ndidi and Tielemens is excellent.
