I wouldn’t say there is a stereotype about the players at all, apart from not producing as much talent as they probably could. If you’re good enough you’re good enough, the PL has players from all over the world.

About the fans and analysis though…

The one question mark for me over Pep has always been that he’s only ever managed teams with a massive advantage over the rest of the league.

At Barca he had Messi and possibly the greatest playmaking team ever assembled. At Bayern… it’s obvious, and so is City… Even at Barca B, they were normally either in 2nd or 3rd tier and that year were in 3rd tier, so were one of the best teams in the league they were in.

At City he inherited one of the best teams in the league and underperformed until he got 200m worth of fullbacks.

He’s never done anything like winning the CL with Porto.

he was atrocious at penalties.

For one thing who judges a GK on pens anyway? For another, Cech is literally famous for being great at penalties.

Go re-watch that CL final I talked about. He saves one in normal time and a couple in the shootout, as well as diving the right way every. single. time.

Think Cech is severely underrated and left out when it comes to all time goalkeeper lists(in football lol).

I think pre-helmet Cech at Chelsea was arguably the best stretch of goal-keeping the world has ever seen. Even post helmet he pulled out games like the CL final against Bayern at Bayern where he was an absolute colossus between the sticks.

Is is just because Chelsea of that period is so hated that he doesn’t seem to get his due?

Is the Chelsea meme period ending? They’ve gone toe to toe with the big boys in the last few weeks and looked the part, they might be scary in the coming years

Is this the game of the season so far?

I was just making a bad joke

Good guy Raheem being punished for giving the fans back their “missile”

But ensuring Taylor doesn’t ref a Chelsea game is ensuring no-one gets special treatment.

As whoever is playing against Chelsea that day is bound to get it.

Gotta hand it to these back-up fullbacks of Chelsea, both stepped up to fill big shoes immaculately so far

Mudryk just hates Arsenal
