Premier Lg EPL Matchday 3 - On Optus Sport

[TheGreatBarryB]

Looking forward to our game, been a busy couple of weeks so having a week off to prepare will have been really good for the players. No Pep of course but don't think that'll have a huge impact.

Hopefully an early goal, keep the crowd quiet and move on.

Wouldn’t be too concerned.

[Bradesmaen]

He's so old, probably played in it

Sterling's had a good start to the season. Nice to see after a so-so last year or two with us and first year at Chelsea.

 

[chef]

Was a lovely goal from Sterling.

 

[darth_timon]

I fear for Luton. It's going to be a rough season for them.

 

[chef]

Yay a win. Feels like we once again left a few goals out there and the opposition werent great but I'll take it.

Nice to see Jackson off the mark, looks a propper striker.

Derby County vibes already.

Imagine spending £1 billion in 12 months and your best player ends up being Raheem Sterling.

 

[chef]

Sterling was pretty good this morning. Hes found his mojo again this season.

Wasn't he one of the players they spent that 1bn on?

 

[RPCB]

Oh right, I thought he’s been there for longer than a year.

£1bn team v £20m team ..no surprise .. and let’s judge Sterling against better teams

He looked pretty good last week too.

 

[DBAH0]

He looked pretty good last week too.

Yep for the first time in quite a while he looks like he's playing with a sense of purpose and directness.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

He looked pretty good last week too.

By better I meant the best 8-10 teams in the league. Last season his six were against two relegated teams and Forest ..started similar last season as well.

Nearly all has been there a year or less.

They played Luton in the FA Cup 17 months ago.

From that squad only James is still at Chelsea. That’s 11 + 8 subs.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Not a fantastic performance by any stretch, but did we what he had to do.

Derby County vibes already.

I was thinking Blackpool, but then I checked their season and they finished on 39 points (one from safety). Fared much better than I remembered given their spending and squad. I don't think they'll be quite as bad as Derby, but it'll have to take something very special for them to survive.

Just seen the highlights, Sterling was on fire.

He was good against Iiverpool in the first match.

OK, I think West Ham are a reasonably good side, and he's looked good. Dunno why he has to prove himself anyway.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Good finish by Maddison. Spurs on board against the Cherries

 

[hawkman]

It will be amazing if Maddison stays fit for the season with how often he gets fouled

Needs to work with Grealish
