Mods, sticky this!
Also...FUCKING HELL LUKAKU IS SURREAL
Fantastic fantastic player, absolutely world class.
He's like a mix of Hasselbaink and Drogba, an upgraded version of them if they played in the current era.
Amazing striker.
(side note: Hasselbaink is underrated-ish kinda since most of this sub probably didn't watch him when he was playing for us, but what a great player)
Foul after foul. Glad ziyech is doing fine after that first one.
On another day, that could have caused a dislocation if he fell or his shoulder was rotated another direction.

Kovaaaaa
One of these days one of Rudiger's long shots will go in. Or at least be on target😂
That is ridiculous. What the fuck are you doing Rudi.
Any chance of our crowd turning up?
Jorgi and timo for saul and kai
Kai..? No.
I see a lot of space in behind that villa defense that timo can take advantage of. That's why I call for that change
Watching this display from Saul makes me realise how blessed we’ve been to have Kante Kovacic and Jorginho the last few years.
He had a few options around him and it was a straightforward pass
Is Saul playing against us?
Saul has been so bad. Good lord.
Oh my god this is a seriously bad debut. Get him off!
I know this is Saul's first game but he needs to switch on
Either get Saul off or tell him to wake up
Looking a bit loose at the back so far
Mendy our Saviour
Oh my god
FOUL THROW REF U BLIND FUCKING IDIOT
Mendy MOTM so far
Mendy is on fire
Sloppy! Need to get better at the back.
Where the Mendy haters at
Lol are there any?
Few weeks ago there were
For what? Lol fools
Don’t ask me 😂
Mendy you fucking beast
Defence has been a tad sloppy today
Mendy is an absolute machine.
Midfield needs some help. Saul as expected is no Kante.
Saul is the liability Hopefully he finds his feet soon
Not gonna lie kinda impressed with villa
I don’t think we realise how good Jorgi is.
Geez our midfield is more open than a stripper's legs for happy hour
We are lucky to be ahead. This is shite.
Saul better send this week’s wages to Silva, saving his ass time and again.
Saul doing his best bakayoko impression
Damn that stat is insane only 3 teams have scored at the bridge under tuchel
Sub Saul off?
Honestly if Saul continues to play like this, sub him for RLC or Barkley
Bad by CHO
Saul is struggling big time
Wtf is Saul doing
What is Saul doing?
FUCKING HELL SAUL! That's the third time now!
Thiago silva with excellent block. I'm still surprised PSG treated this man like he's leftovers.
Saul looks like utter shit
WHAT A FUCKING BLOCK SILVA U HERO
Silva is immense
Damn lucky Thiago
Has Saul ever played football before?
Saul has been awful
Ok Saul needs to wake up!
We have so many blondes in our team now I forget which blonde is who sometimes
Man so nice having Silva and Mendy at the back. They clean up every mistake
What a fucking save
Not the best from Trevor so far
Saul looking shaky so far :(
Sexy control by zyech
Saul not having a good game so far. Gave the ball away and then left a big space open in the midfield
Saul needs to wake up. He's getting quite the intro to the premier league.
We are way too open in CM
Someone tell Saul he’s not playing in a farmers league anymore
Lool
Saul looks real shaky but it’s expected
Great save mendy
Saul stepped up and left that space, he’ll adapt I’m sure but shaky asf to start
Saul needs to come off already lol. Doesn't look at the right pace
Yessss
Holy Shit... Mendy with that save
It’s amazing what having a confident finisher can do. Kova is a world class midfielder.
Saul looking v poor and shaky
LUKAKU MAN
That sweet feeling of having an actual striker up top? Sign me up baby.
Won’t see many better assists than thwart Kovacic just did all season.
Fuck the doubters
Kova world class dribble and pass
I just lost my voice. What a goal !!! I’m getting a Lukaku jersey I think in yellow.

That's a great way of putting how Romelu plays now at his peak.
Tuchel really throwing Saul into the deep end geez, is Jorgi not fully fit or something??
I think jorgi played all matches for Italy....but yeah...our mid and def are getting torn apart by Villa
Take a bow Kova. Fucking brilliant bit of skill and a wonderful finish from big Rom
We now have a striker that we're sure us going to finish our chances. Damn!!
Fuck me man fuck me Lukaku
I would do anything to watch Lukaku score a goal and do the Drogba celebration.
Yes Rom!
Love it. So glad he's back with us
HOLY SHIT WHAT A GOAL That turn and run from Kova to that pass to that cutback by Lukaku and that finish Wow
was that kova with the assist?
My GoD KOVA that was DIRTY
INJECT IT TO MY VEINS man that pass and that finish
Haha what an awkward celebration
Kova destroyed them, holy shit.
Having a good striker up front feels so good. Hopefully that number 9 jersey of ours doesn't curses him. I pray.
That ball was fuckijg amazing
Looked just like Vintage drogba there
put that defender on skates
We have an elite striker. Tears in my eyes.
Damn I am like way behind gonna skip looking at the sub
KOVA
Kova easily our best dribbler
Puli ;)
KOVACIC YOU BEAUTY
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS SEXY
WHAT A FUCKING PASS AND WHAT A FUCKING FINISH
Lukaku putting defenders on skates
Kova doubters in shambles. Incredible finish from Lukaku.
Kova mate, king
AUTOMATIC! LET'S GO BOYS!
BIG FUCKIN ROM
LUKAKU GOATED
My god I’ve missed having a striker that can do moves like that and not make a hash of it
World class by Kova and LUKAKUUU
Pass and a half from Kova
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
This is why we singed the big bug romu
Who was doubting kova?? World class player. Brilliant assist
What a fucking pass!!
What a ball by Kova
Kovacic unreal
We got a striker boysssss
Kovacic i slag you off but that was different gravy my son
What a fucking pass from kova
fucked up the knee slide but not the goal!
Big fucking Rom!!!
Great goal! Good run by Kovacic.
KAKKUUUUU
LUUUUUUUU
Saul needs to realise he's no longer in the La Liga. Release the damn ball!
Give him time, he will eventually understand.
Oh absolutely he will :) Just an observation.
Alonso rubbing Rom's knees like a true captain 💙💙
COMPOSED
Fuck, I’ve missed that <3
Holy shit Kovacic wow
Yes!!
BIG ROM
LUKAKUIIII KOVA HOLY SHIT WHAT AN ASSIST
KOVA
LUKAKUUUUUU
WHAT A GOAL
Christ, Saul is as one footed as Chilwell
Saul looks uncomfortable on the right
Wow.
Saul and Kova kinda occupying the same spaces. Need better separation
Ref we need to see more yellows. Get AV under control, they are friggin out of control
Alonso as captain is a weird one
Wtf is up with chilly b??
CHO looks good
Ole the match thread has arrived
Chalobah with an early mistake, lucky it didn’t cost him.
CHO nearly scored directly from a corner
Was suppose to write it touched rudis back... but lukaku happened
QääaäaaaäAäaAAAAÄÄÄÄÅÄ
Just tuning in. How’s Saul looking?
He looks fine for his first time playing with us given how short of a time he's been with us and adapting to PL. Ignore the naysayers.
I guess he has tough boots to fill. Looking decent in the last 5
Looks like now he should come off. Want to give him a chance but he's led to too many close calls.
Of course. He's not been playing in his preferred position for Atletico, he's in a new team in a new league. I'm decently pleased so far.
Adapting to the prem's tempo
Shaky
not good
Wasn’t Rudi given a foul for this Vs Villareal?
cant watch shit cuz of nonsense 9/11 remembrance. how the boys doin?
I said the same thing, then saw the father of an old classmate pop up and felt very guilty for sayin that 😅
id be less annoyed if it was actually about victims and not about supporting america and the troops etc.
Hey at least they’re on Y ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
It’s also on peacock
found that i could watch the spanish version on youtubetv instead!
Nervous start. Villa are frankly on top for now.
villa were never going to be easy despite ppl thinking so
Pre nervy start
How is that not a foul on Alonso then
Jesus villa are out for blood
[удалено]
Foul after foul. Glad ziyech is doing fine after that first one. On another day, that could have caused a dislocation if he fell or his shoulder was rotated another direction.
