The 4K broadcasts are quickly going to ruin me.

Coincidentally, Ederson’s tattoos look four times stupider, which I wouldn’t have thought possible. He’s gotta be in the conversation for ugliest EPL player.

Chelsea being absolutely dominated but City haven’t made it count where it matters. Annoying habit of this against Chelsea who are still playing their 532. At least this time City legitimately look like scoring

Biggest concern for me would be that City finally put a strong press on and don’t know if that can be delivered for 90 minutes. Subs around the hour will be important

Can easily see this as 0-0 … As mentioned Citeh completely dominant with a couple of B+ chances. But, if Chelsea manage to knick a goal it will be over. From a neutral standpoint it’s not exactly riveting - not a single shot on goal. But City’s putting on a master class and it’s kind of fun to watch. A City goal will do wonders as Chelsea will have to, gulp, attack.

I read a very holier than thou Reddit thread a few weeks ago about how if you thought Chelsea were defensive you were an idiot and I couldn’t stop laughing. As I always say they are effective but they are one of the worst watches in football. I absolutely hate everything about what they have done it’s just so fucking awful to watch

What is that thumb sucking celebration? Is he pretending to vape?

I really like RLC, hope he plays well here. He can go on a dribble and shrug off Sliva, KDB, and Grealish easily. Let’s see it.

I’m going to die if City don’t finish this after all these blown chances

I’ve always thought Loftus Cheek had a bit of Toure in him

The 718
Villa score at 86', then Bruno skies a pen over the crossbar at 92'

Ole Out drumbeat starts again

Villa are the real deal

Verstegaard is a horrible fit on Leicester. I know it was a desperation move, but he’s been screwing it all up.

Agreed.

why does Iwobi play as a winger for you? He’s always had the feet of a midfielder and isn’t particularly pacy. Do Everton not have any pacy wide options? Is it just Richarlison?
Don’t know

Would not put him there

He’s been poor

Bit of a soft pen for Everton but I suppose it was a foul and it also helps my betting interest so it was a nailed on and great work by the Var

Vardy scores a very Vardy goal.

leicester have a midfielder named Mendy who played for them a small amount a few years back and all but disappeared. He really caught my eye it’s a shame he hasn’t found his way

edit: Burnley answers with a gorgeous volley by Cornet. Knew there were goals in this game!

Gray plays in Doucoure for a nice finish 2-0

Still not good enough, no killer instinct

Salomon Rondon is shockingly bad

Yes! We had 3 Leicester and 2 Watford. I am one of the Leicester guys and looks like Vardy just bailed my ass out.

I was watching the Union-Bielefeld game, where Kevin Behrens also scored a very late goal to make me happy as well. Switched over just in time to see Burnley get banged.
