Crap in Europe...........

Courtois Azpi Luiz Rudiger Zappacosta Kante Cesc Bakayoko Alonso Hazard Morata 1-2 Chelsea. Morata to silence the jeers he'll inevitably get for playing for Real.

A lot of people with a proverbial egg on their face after moaning about us signing him instead of Lukaku/Belotti. Knew he'd come good. Well in Alvaro!

For me, Eden Hazard is so underrated amongst the media and rival fans. If he played for Real Madrid or Barcelona, people would be hailing him in the top five players in the world. It actually irks me that he doesn't get the praise that he deserves simply because he had that one poor season out of five for us. I would probably say Marcos Alonso is our most overrated player in terms of rival opinions. I always see social media junkies mention that he's the best left back in the league and whilst I think Marcos is a good left back, I do think there are better left backs in the Premier League. What are your thoughts?

You've given me a great idea for a thread, thank you Argo. Brilliant post, btw.

Cahill should not be playing, it's simple as that. He makes our backline panic. I wasn't too pleased with our line up when it was announced as Cesc and Kante doesn't work as a pairing against top teams. Bakayoko on for Pedro/Willian.

Rudiger comes across as a natural leader, we need that after JT's departure. I think he'll be a talent once Conte has got his message across. He will make mistakes but I think Conte will mould him into a top class centre back.

Hazard when he's running then just slows down grates on me. Willian has been decent so far this season.

1. Azpi 2. Luiz 3. Christensen 4. Rudiger 5. Cahill Agreed, we have a very good defence!

Morata is what Torres should have been when he was at Chelsea. Quick, great in the air and can find the net. What a player we have!

The champions SHOULD be on TV first game of the season. Spurs vs Chelsea was always going to be on Sky. Chelsea vs Everton is another game that's usually on Sky but instead they chose Stoke vs West Brom. Leicester vs Chelsea SHOULD be on Sky/BT. The last three title winners yet a 3pm kick off? Bizarre. However, I will agree it will even out.

This. When we finished 10th after the board screwed us over, they were revelling in it. f**k them.

Zappacosta. 100% a dig at Diego.

City and United have no qualms about paying excessive agent fees these days. Before, we used to entertain it but not so much anymore. Think that's a big reason we fail to get deals over the line.

Is it time to say that we didn't want him anyway?

I see this being our team for most tough/big games this season. When we play the smaller teams at the bridge, switch out Bakayoko and put in Pedro/Willian.

This will be a very unpopular opinion. I don't think we would have won the league with Mata as a prominent player in our first 11.

Taylor Gang Gunners This ungrateful piece of **** can do one. He'll fit in well with the snakes over at Chelski. One good game in five he gives us, ONE good game in five. Then he plays like he did yesterday to force a move? This will leave a sour taste in the mouth of all Gooners I reckon. We showed so much time and patience with this guy, many a manager would've got shot of him given his terrible goal return. Let's not act as if he's played RWB his entire time here. Him, his quarter-life crisis hairstyle, and his Little Mix girlfriend can all get to ****. Bellerin and Nelson both have higher ceilings. We've seen the best of Ox. Sobotka Can't believe people are actually upset that this absolute fanny, who's accomplished the sweet sum of **** all for the club, is being sold. He wants to leave. Who gives a **** where he goes. **** him. Gone down well with a few Arsenal fans...

Yessssssssssssssssss, great signing.

Two things... Firstly, I think Conte will unlock the Ox's poential. He has an abudance of talent that we're yet to see and Conte is known for making players better. Secondly, if he puts in the same effort for us as he did yesterday for Arsenal then he won't even get on the bench let alone the first team. Antonio won't put up with lack of effort.

If Carlsberg did weekends...

Filipe Luis.

Maybe not as much now they've signed Dembele but there's a reason Barca's fans are up in arms. Their midfield isn't a patch on what it used to be, neither is their defence. Don't get me wrong with Messi they're still a formidable outfit but without him, they're really not that good. We could beat them without him, we've even beaten them in the past with him

Ironically, our squad in 11/12 wasn't up to much, in my opinion. Our squad was aging massively and Marin/Moses were touted as replacements for the next season. People underestimate how much Didier's header done for us going forward. The CL win brought us the best player in the Premier League, Oscar and one of the most consistent defenders we have ever had. That's my opinion though, people may disagree.
