Trev Chalobah with his second goal of the season. Beautiful scenes.

Werner scores but VAR rules it out for a very soft foul by Azpi 30 mins earlier.
Goal disallowed for most marginal foul. Clear and obvious error? Why even bother watching these days.
How far back can they go, that was ages before. Tsk!!
Yeah, at what point does one sequence of play end and another begin. Southampton successfully dealt with two different crosses after the incident and we scored from the third one. What if we didn't score from Hudson-Odoi's cross and the ball was cleared, we recycled possession before scoring 2 minutes later?
Seems like Saul is now behind Loftus-Cheek and Barkley in the midfield pecking order.
Loftus-Cheek has featured in 4 straight games, and Barkley has come off the bench in the last 2 games.

Absurd that in the FA Cup final the obvious Leicester handball wasn't considered because it was 6 seconds earlier according to the refs, but today we are apparently looking back 20+ seconds and 3 attacks?
That second goal was a thing of beauty
Top of Frank Khalid's "weekly power ranking" league? Get in!
feck you City and Real, we're sixth.
Surprised he didn't edit in a picture of him posing with Werner in that graphic.
Not like I take this ranking serious, but Man Utd lost like 2 games and drew vs Everton to rise in his ranking
Leverkusen?
"Power ranking", a value that must be connected to the political or economical power of the clubs' owners, I guess? But then, why Liverpool? Napoli? The Camorra maybe? In any case, bizarre nonsense.

I did Nazi the logic of your comment
Anthony Taylor announced as the ref for the Brentford game. Our odds went from 1/3 to 1/2 afterwards.
Since 2019 with him as ref: 2 wins, 3 draws, 6 defeats.
Why is he even allowed to ref this after his complete shocker in the Nations League final?

I don't think you should really be worrying to be honest.
Taylor will be equally inept for both teams.
Shameful treatment of our boy Werner
Kovacic having a blinder of a start to the season after not being all that last season. Makes more tackles than Fred but also has 5 assists in 8 games

He's justifying my pick on fantasy football

Such an enigma but has all the potential to be a top player. That is very good news for Chelsea and very bad news for Liverpool and City.
He was excellent after Tuchel came in. He was unlucky that he got injured in April and was sidelined for the month when we went on our ride to the CL final. Had he not got injured he probably would have been first choice in the DM role, ahead of Jorginho.
I don't know why people and pundits still aren't taking them seriously. Favourites for the league for me.
They are firmly established as one of the big 3 and really have been pretty consistant. I think it’s a tossup between the three teams. The rest are just scrambling for places in Europe.
Don’t think they’ll be more than 5 points off come the end of the season. Not sure/hopefully they won’t get over the line!
All I have heard since the start of the season is Chelsea are the favorites for the league from almost every media outlet.
This was Norwich... one of the most probable wins this season. We are still part of the pack at the top of the table - nothing less, but also nothing more.
This Norwich win is no indicator for anything really.
I'll agree, it was good to hear Tuchel speak afterwards, score is 0 - 0 again for the next game!
We've been quite lucky at times this season so far. Players have been out of form, Mount was dropped after getting hooked against Spurs. That was his first real performance of the season yesterday. Havertz has produced the odd moment of magic, like v Liverpool but had also been dropped essentially. Ziyech started the season strong but barely played since his shoulder injury. Lukaku and Werner have also been hit and miss.
The positive side of that, is that despite all that and some of the bigger clubs in our first games, we're top and if all these players get to their top level, we can improve a lot.
Who isn't? They were considered favs or second favs on caf.
Man City were favs, Man United were second. Chelsea were third favs by the majority (including yourself).

Yeah I had them behind Liverpool and City IIRC.
Do you have the list? It's hard to go through all pages again to see whether Chelsea were below ManUtd.
Nearly 200 posters voted so a decent sample size.
Only 22 had Chelsea 1st.
1st place:
Man City 97
Man United 58
Chelsea 22
Liverpool 6
Leicester 1
Spurs 1
2nd place:
Chelsea 72
Man City 54
Man United 34
Liverpool 22
Leeds 2
Leicester 1
3rd place:
Man City 23
Man United 50
Chelsea 61
Liverpool 47
Leicester 3
Leeds 1
4th place:
Liverpool 93
Man United 39
Chelsea 25
Leicester 17
Man City 8
Arsenal 2
Spurs 1
5th place:
Leicester 108
Spurs 28
Arsenal 22
Liverpool 12
Villa 5
Chelsea 4
Man City 3
Man United 2
Everton 1
6th place:
Spurs 56
Arsenal 47
Leicester 37
Villa 29
West Ham 8
Brentford 3
Man United 1
Chelsea 1
Liverpool 1
Wolves 1
Leeds 1
So most of them had Chelsea in top 2-3.
Also most of the "ManUtd will be #1" are the posters who think it's morally wrong to predict any other position for ManUtd.
2-3rd for sure. We absolutely were not considered "favourites" by the vast majority of posters on here though, only about 10% thought that.
No team will be considered as favs when Pep is the manager of the city and rightly so. It's about the pack after that and Chelsea are included in that.
Don't tell me, tell whoever said " They were considered favs or second favs on caf. "!
