Willy Caballero > Kepa for Chelsea. Just made a big save too

I wish Tammy Abraham would play the whistle and not go to ground so easily he would score more than he already does

yeah abraham has the instinct and the skill but unfortunately not the intelligence

Baffled how we did not get a penalty for Tammy, actually baffled.

Other than that it is just same old Chelsea, no matter who he picks or what tactics we line up with, we will dominate the ball, dominate the build up, get in front of goal and make the complete wrong decisions and fail to score. The opponents then get some belief and start looking dangerous for us to eventually lose lol.

You have to be stupid if you think the reason Chelsea are losing goals is because of Kepa and Kepa alone. Today Willy is at fault for both goals quite clearly and while he made "one" good save i have no reason to think Kepa couldn't have saved that lol, so silly.

Oh well at 2-1 down i would have taken 2-2.

Well they didn't really because the first half the game should have been over, but we can't finish. Leicester also a lot worse than us, they just have a better back 4. There is a reason why we have the 2nd highest chances created per match in the league behind Man City but our finishing is ranked 13th lol.

Yes they do know why, because in January you can only buy bandaid transfers and our board did not want that. The best bet was Mertens who wanted to leave buy Napoli said he is not going anywhere in January and that was it, but even that was a bandaid transfer as he is 32.

Show me a club outside of Bruno Fernandes signing that made a decent longevity signing this window....

We were banned from signing players and did not look like we would be signing players in January thus none of our work for these players has been started, thus you don't get across the line. We will be starting the work for transfers in summer like Sancho which according to you is a poor player even though he is carrying Dortmund this season, he will be lined up.

We were offered players like Rondon and such which is not what we want now so the club rejected it.

I quite clearly said this window, aka January 2019, but yes a point you made there is that those two transfers worked out in January. The Augamon one those was a huge gamble as people thought he was on a right downhill because of his age and what not and the Van Dijk one was a massive transfer fee which was set up in the summer of the previous year anyway because remember he refused to play for Southampton.

Why would United be kicking themselves right now?

Ok they didn’t like the low release clause with Harland and didn’t fight for him, but really if they did would they have even got him anyway?

By all accounts his father advises him very well in terms of his long-term prospects. Dortmund are still in the Champions League, will likely be there next year and their record recently in developing young talent is great. United? They throw a bunch of young players out there by necessity and people say they are developing youngsters. There’s a marked difference between playing for Dortmund and learning from someone experienced like Marcos Reus and being expected to carry a team with such aspirations from an early age.

I’m unsure if it’s a factor but Erling is on the record as a Leeds fan, and his father’s career was ended by Roy Keane. If sentiment is even vaguely involved those are also negative points.

Not going to lie but Batsuai was made to look like some sort of finishing god in Bundesliga with Dortmund as well.... he is utter trash. Haaland is going in the right direction, but Piatek also looked amazing for Milan as well and now they shipped him off and he is playing for Hertha Berlin? Bit of a crazy turn for him.

I hope Haaland makes it because he quite clearly is using Dortmund as a stepping stone anyway to a bigger move in his eyes, whether he gets there or not is gonna be another question.

Bayern are back on top of the Bundesliga after last night with Leipzig drawing with Gladbach. 4 teams are within 3 points at the top.

Bayern v Leipzig is next week, will be absolutely crucial

Rising weekly. He's got the team behind him and the results are lining up as well. I believe at this point there's only 2 ways his job is actually under threat. #1, they drop out of UCL against Chelsea. And #2, the Bayern bosses already decided on getting someone else (in the same vein that Jupp would have done one more season after winning the Treble but they had already agreed with Pep).

Probably (although Hoeneß said they could live with not winning Bundesliga once back in Summer) but Bayern not winning Bundesliga is getting less and less likely by the week. If they beat Leipzig it's gonna be hard to believe in any other team.

Dortmund has 5 goals per game since Haaland entered, they seem in good shape too!

well if we talk about shape/form lets talk Arsenal

Since mid October in the PL:
2 wins
10 draws
5 losses

Their good start is the reason they aren't ass deep in a relegation struggle, that's quite impressive and quite entertaining
