Chelsea have a superb side, they will push for the title. ... too much quality not to.

Rather the chavs push for the title than the scum. But yeah they look impressive.

Their midfield five look very good i.e. Matic and Febregas playing behind Hazard, Oscar and Schurrle (if I've got their 'system' right?). However, if we played (say) Gerrard and Can behind Henderson, AN Other and Lallana - I think we're at least as good as them (and our AN Other could be Sterling, Coutinho or even Allen). Not bad .

It was v Burnley. They've a piss easy start too. Everton might give them a decent test but the City game is the one when we'll see what they are made of. They'll be up there though.

Yep. We knew that before tonight.

Will they win it? Nobody knows.

The City game is the one when we'll see what we're made of too. And the other 36 remaining games. And the same for everybody else. Apart from City of course. Because they can't play themselves.

we just need a settled side & to find our best 11 in the system that Rodgers wants to play.

[Fredo]

Think we're definitely more fluid than them at our best. They've become a bit more unpredictable with Fabregas now, as he's a quality player, but I wouldn't take Costa above Sturridge.

Meh.

11 cunts managed by the biggest cunt in football.

I think they will also be a major threat in the CL unfortunately. The thought of them winning another CL is just awful.

[RichC]

What with the money spent on that squad it would be harder not to challenge for the title & CL this season.
