Well tbf costa was out yesterday serving his ban, as was kante...and we still won 3-0. As far as injuries go and missing time: that's kind of my point. Chelsea plays so few week games that it's going to be hard for them to have sustained long term injuries throughout the season. Another thing, the defense has been best in the league over the past 12 games since the formation switch. It's either 2 or 3 goals conceded over 12 games. Even if you rely on 3 players for scoring, it's hard to lose when giving up .17 goals a game. Your criticisms make sense though...it will certainly be an interesting second half to the season!

DC9 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Let's not leave it too late today if it comes to that, Jurgy. Give Sturridge at least a half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Greetings from sunny SW Florida. Taking a break from the family stuff to drop the girls off at Ft Myers Beach, and spend a couple hours watching the ever mighty Reds! Sunny, on the way to 85, but the beer is cold, and the view exquisite. Sitting at the bar at Doc Ford's. Onward you mighty Reds! Please don't bring your magic wee Joe! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thankful today it's in the 40s in VA and I was able to get a comfortable run in today. It was literally in the 20s and 30s the first few weeks of December and I was floored at how cold it was. Couldn't imagine 85 right now lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's masking a heck of a lot of mediocrity for me with a few of those games that could of well gone the other way. This is one of the items that I mention whenever I see writers (usually on ESPN or Fox) saying that the EPL is so great because "on any given weekend, any team can beat any other team". That just isn't true. The top several sides (right now, Chelsea, Pool, City, and sadly recently United) just don't lose to ANY side in the bottom half. Arsenal and Spurs will drop one or 2, but that's about it. Period. That's why this league will come down to a few games and major injuries to decide the league. Chelsea have the advantage of a 2 match lead and along with Pool, have no other commitments. City, IMHO, will gel and improve and could go a multiple match run as well. Even United have gone on a good run, but I don't think they can make up the points. This is no slight on the EPL - every major league is like this. The top several teams are way ahead of the bottom ones. Good luck to Pool today, if for no other reason than to keep the race alive and kicking. 4 minutes ago, DC9 said: That sounds awesome!

Chelsea are defending as well as you could at the moment and Hazard looks to have gotten his head out of his ass. Be real interested to see how Chelsea handle his new wage demands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be he leaves in the next season or two for Spain. And anyone one who watches bpl regularly knows that there's no gimmes. Pep learned that lesson and I fully expect them to go on a run. Klopp had to learn it last year and has obviously done well. Conte learned it early this year and as GHH said, a few different bounces of the ball could have Chelsea lower in the table. There re will always be favorites, just like any other league. But top to bottom there is no comparison with EPL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An OG but that was a perfect ball and run by Mane, had to be an OG if not Mane was tapping it in. Let's get some more here Red men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
