Man City strengthened
Man U strengthened
Chelsea may have lost a bit of ground against those 2.
Arsenal have lost ground against the Manchester teams despite being behind them anyway and probably to Chelsea as well.

they have bought an infferior striker and a defnder they did not need.

That is down to the managers poor judgement and he should be judged for his signings. He shouldn't really complain that his squad isnt good enough if he's over spending on average players

Chelsea' s squad is ridiculously thin. It worked last season with no Europe, and some good luck with injuries . But as it stands they have 3 Cms in their squad. 3. And they are also very light at the back. They arent going to be able to juggle Europe with that. They need 2 or 3 new players in the next 2 weeks, minimum.

We have 1 centre mid available tomorrow, 1.

Chelsea were incredibly lucky with injuries last season. No manager in the world would choose to take that risk if they thought they could persuade the club to spend money on good backup players

Funny how Chelsea was some brilliant team last season...when they had every possible league rival handicapped by European competition. Celebrated as some wonder team as though they won it on a level playing field. Somehow I don't see much "Genius of Conte" press/pundit coverage this season. Though I anticipate a fair bit of "Where did it all go wrong?" coverage as they all figure out...

Conte's genius = Chelsea players nicely rested legs

Chelsea last season had the 5th highest amount of shots and 5th highest shots on target but scored 85 goals 1 less then Spurs. They overachieved last season breaking the wins record mainly due to lethal Costa and co.

And due to being rested when their rivals played. Costa and co probably don't score as many goals with legs just as tired as everyone else's and them having to face defenders who aren't already tired from a midweek Euro fixture.

Guess Arsenal have the league wrapped up then as they have naff all to do this year and yet they fall to the mighty Stoke....kknobend

Why so bitter?

Yeah we don't have the 2nd from worst striker in the premierleague in Ibrahimovic anymore. Ibrahimovic might come back but he had a really strange season last season. He had 3 or 4 clinical games and about 30 wasteful games,

It was funny on SKY Pardew and Henry trolling Lukaku movement but the fact was Ibrahimovich was also static at times but his presence gained him the space in the box to have chances. Ibrahimovich was one of the most wasteful strikers in premierleague history last season while Lukaku was one of the most lethal. Interestingly one of the main reasons for the one sided draws was when Rashford missed a good chance like today Ibrahimovich missed about 6 or 7 decent chances and he may score 1 goal and he is carrying us.

Getting Lukaku was an incredible signing and he is now one of the best strikers in the world as well.

Morata at present is not better than Costa though he is a decent player and Bakayako is a downgrade on Matic as there was no need to sell Matic and also I haven't see Rudiger play so I don't know about him.Also we let Admit Begovic go and replaced him with a less capable goalkeeper in Cabellero.Also Chelsea should not have sold Matic to Man U.Still I understand what the original poster is coming from!
