That's his playbook according to the few Chelsea fans who watched them under him.
May be a different story if we are pinging balls in early for the viking - we will soon see.

I've got a good feeling about this season. Enzo did well with his Chelsea squad that was a lot worse than ours and showed good tactical nouse and pragmatism in big one-off games such as the club world cup final.

We're not the finished article but the 2nd half of last season showed enough that this is a squad capable of a title tilt. The January signings were with a view to the outgoings already and Anderson too.

Think we're being written off a bit due to Enzo just being Peps old assistant but he won things at Leicester and Chelsea, I quite like it when they pundits aren't rating us.

Ait-Nouri makes it 3 from long threw ball which caught them out as they thought he was off side, but flag stayed down.

Beeb text has Rudolph "playing like a man possessed" no idea as not watching the game.


:lol: he's absolutely shite. Just launched a cross to the far post for Savio!!


Savinho equally as shite but surprises nobody. Beats his man for fun sometimes but fuck all end product. Please Spurs, put us out of our misery and sign him soon!

I second that emotion, come on Spuds you know it makes sense. Absolutely useless player, no eye for goal whatsoever.

Liked the look of Reis too. Problem with Dias is when he captains it affects his own game.

Anyone know what's going on with tickets for Community Shield?

I read that we could not sell our allocation.

I also see that we are sold out.

After tickets.

Probably because they moved it to Cardiff....

The weaknd is playing Wembley! So me and our lad (22) aren't going as originally planned.

TBF last time, there were loads of under 10's from Europe accompanied by parents who don't like football, but giving their kid/s chance to experience a live game.

I've seen loads of bollocks online that City gave loads of tickets back that Arsenal fans took.

They're so obsessed with us it's actually embarrassing

Watching Bernie play for Franco's boys against the mighty Deportivo breaks my heart.
