1PM kick off might be ambitious. The stadium is empty.

All glory to our automated future.
That was a golden chance.
That's a beautiful strike.
Yeah, Saka is ridiculous. Southgate had him at wing back once upon a time
That shit midfield doing alright after all.
I’m not sure Nottingham Forest at home is a real litmus test
I doubt they play with Havertz/Odegaard together in midfield against good teams anyway.
That could be a big injury for Timber.
There’s defending deep and having 15% possession after 60 minutes…
Forest manager looks like he should be running a Wetherspoons not a football club.
Milner in the heart of De Zerbi-Ball should be fascinating.
That's a Tijani Babangida special from the useless Swede.
Brighton are gonna have to put that Ł100m+ to serious use. Milner is playing in a back 3 alongside a gangly Aryan accident waiting to happen with Estupinan doing his usual abandonement of defensive duties. The Syrian refugee is not cut out for this level either and they have nothing in midfield as a result. Lucky they're facing a champ side.
Michael Carrick's side are winless in their last seven Championship games - four of those coming against Coventry
weeeeey
We've started like a train on fire. Or something.
Tonali is such a don.
Safe to say this is as daft as the pre-season game.
If City didn’t exist this league would be properly tasty this season
Love to see big clumsy fuckers hurt themselves from trying to make it physical. Hope Mings has fucked his cruciates.
I see Everton are still shit, which is nice. Sadly I fear the likes of Luton and Sheffield United are going to do the hard work of keeping them up this year.
Emi Martinez is a lucky boy.
The spine of Newcastle’s team is pretty fucking good.
Top of the league.
Kane instant impact. 2-0 Leipzig
3-0 now.
It seems he's the true bottler.
Can’t believe Dortmund bottled the league to this lot
Caught the Newcastle game yesterday, thought Anthony Gordon was very good. Amazing what a ruinous effect being a ratty faced scouser can have on public perception.
He was levels above in the Euro U21s.
Kick-off delay due to sanitation is a new one.

If this game ends 0-0 with Liverpool playing that attacking then it’s a confirmed cursed game.
Sterling still starting over Mudryk in 2023. Fuck me sideways.
Chelsea also going to a back 3 which they didn’t really play at all in pre season.
The new Spurs keeper looks shaky.
That Liverpool team is the sort of shit you used to be able to role out on CM2. Not sure about its real life application.
I am taking Jim and the Chelsea intention to spunk 160 million quid on midfielders as a sign that Liverpool are going eviscerate them as it rains yellow cards.
Who scores first should win. Neither team would cope well chasing the game.
Liverpool spent a lot of last season chasing games. They've got a 2-2 draw in them.
Haven't the last 6 between these two been draws, including 4 0-0s on the bounce? When was the last time Chelsea won this fixture? They must be due some sort of historic correction at some point. Hopefully not today.
I forgot we don't have Martin Tyler. What a joyous day.
This set up looks tragic. Why on earth is Chilwell at left mid/3rd centre mid and Colwill at left back.
Both those midfields are absolutely honking.
Mac Allister just wants to go forwards. A proper DM here and we'd wipe the floor with them.
Going forwards they can't cope.
Nice to see Chelsea still don't know how to defend.
All Mac and Szob that. Fab and Hendo would still be trying to get it past the halfway line as we speak.
