    Problem with Arsenal they try and push players forward they get countered..They try defend deep they have nothing going forward. Who even thought Pepe was worth 72 million needs their head examined.He needs to keep the width and try and spread the play by going down the line. Hes never in the game .

    It will.

    Despite efficiency in attack I don't think Chelsea's defence has looked imperious today - I think we can get at them.

    We will need to keep the ball much better than we have in our first 2 games, or they will absolutely kill us on the break.

    Chelsea will play act next week and do everything they can to slow the game down.

    If you look at Chelseas formation. you can really get at them if they play with wing backs. They have no natural width apart from the wing backs.They may defend in numbers and make it a back 5. But if they come forward you can get joy in wide areas.

    Hoping Arsenal can take something today, putting us in the very early driving seat, ready for the big game next week.
    Wise words mate. Fergie was always delighted with a draw against us never mind the win. It's only these passed few years I've understood his thinking.

    I thought Joel and Virgil handled the Burnley front 2 very well yesterday. Up against Lakaku I feel they will be happy enough, Because if they can handle Burnleys big lumps they can handle anyone !!

    You are not alone in saying that as I think the same.

    Fabinho is absolutely key player for us a monster he is great in the air, can pass and not scared to put his foot in.

    Klopp may have told him to take time off until he is ready to return and that is fine.

    After tomorrow night could be only 4 teams with a 100% record after 2 games depending if theres a draw in the west-ham/Leicester game. Hopefully the inconsistent results continue obviously without us being involved.
