    £80m down the drain, Ukraine Dan James subbed again.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      But he scored 10 in 4 years in the Ukrainian farmers league and has butterflies on his neck…

      He’s got to be good right?

    1. Hazz

    Willian showing the huge new signings how to do it

    1. JBG
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Haha my exact thoughts.

  5. Drumandbaines123

    Mudryk owners fully mudded

    1. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Cucu not helping

  6. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Leno and Robinson are going to get clean sheets while on my bench aren't they?

  7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Arteta is a genius!

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Chelsea have used 29 players already this season. Meanwhile 7 Arsenal players have played in every league game so far.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        And he builds up Mudryk so that the idiots can buy him, while he quietly goes and gets Trossard.

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          😀

    Game completely flew by the poundland Walcott regen. But subbing him off at half time is a grave error by Potter that doesnt do his confidence a lot of good

  9. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mudryk punt didn't go to well. And I just sat down to watch 2nd half as I was out for the 1st

    Wat happened ?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Potter excellent man management to take him out of the firing line

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      You punted on a player for his first start, in a team with questionable form, with a XI that had never all started together yet.

      He may look better in a few weeks.

    3. JT11fc
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Play always went down the right, looked out of place abit too, no cohesion with Cucu

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Cucu never wants to play forward. Needs Chilly.

        1. JT11fc
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Yup, Mudryk always double marked

        2. camarozz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Good fixtures coming up so hopefully he improves. I was basing it on the eye test last gw and thought I'd get a jump on it.

          1. nolard
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            I did it too.
            Got to take a punt now and again.

  10. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Kepa was given a save for that Willian shot but it was off target, probably loses it.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      He'll find his way to 10 points anyway

  11. DaniCT
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    It was fun while it lasted mudryk. See you never.

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Really impressed by Ten Hag... Seems to be a different caliber to Potter.

  13. _Ninja_
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Andreas yc

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      VAR check for RC. Stays as yellow

    2. DaniCT
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      First good news of the day.

  14. THAT'S LIFE
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Who knew Mudryk had a twin brother called Inda

  15. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Andreas yellow

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Lucky it's not a red.

  16. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    So, Kepa probably needs 1 more save for a BAP then?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Rest of the Chelsea team are so tragic he pretty much gets 3 by default. Like Pope used to at Burnley.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Other defenders doing well on BAPs. Might be close or null today.

    3. Royal5
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Let's count when the game is over

  17. berneslai
    • 2 Years

    This game or Death in Paradise?

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Worth watching just for the flops

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Would even watch Mrs Browns Boys I think

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        They should use this show for torture

  18. BUZZBOMB ♡

    1 year, 9 months ago

    Potter.

    You spend nearly a billion pounds on a 3 piece suit, shirt, tie etc and still wear shoes you got in Primark.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Will get a £20m payoff when sacked as well. Will get another big job after.

      He’s on the PL gravy train now. What a life

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        And his entourage. Wee fat Billy on Zoopla as we speak.

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years

    Chelsea midtable team

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

    Remember Mudryk? What a player he was.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      In the muuud

  23. jacob1989
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    who are all these CHE players? Literally half the team are newcomers.U cant BUY a team. What was so wrong with Tuchel's team? Won the CL 1.5 years ago & would have been a CL contender atleast now

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yea they should've kept Tuchel

    2. JBG
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      He got in an argument with Boehly if I remember correctly. Think Boehly wanted CR and Tuchel didn't, among other things.

  24. Ranger3
    • 8 Years

    Love to see my main ML rival jumping on Mudryk

  25. TomSaints
