Premiership 2016/2017

Chelsea are arguably playing the best I have seen a side play against a top half side in a long while. Apart from the 5-0 Newcastle win against United, and the Man City destruction of United, I cant think of a better game

They look solid and lethal

Utd hammering Arsenal 8-2 was pretty convincing.

Chelsea were easily the best side to come to SMS in 2016. With three CBs and two holding CM in front of them, we couldn't lay a punch on them - despite dominating possession. And it frees Hazard up from having any defensive responsibility.

Pep could learn a thing or two.

I wonder if Pep is watching this. Something to be about being defensively sound, when you have quality attacking options.

This game could still see a few more goals.

I seem to remember that Arsenal had a reserve team out for that game. I thought it was Coqulain's first game for them too

Think they had a makeshift defense? Jenkinson played like a non league player, making Ashley Young look world class. Utd lost 6-1 to City a couple of weeks later.

Liverpool and Suarez going 4-0 up on Arsenal inside 20 minutes was quite impressive. As was the way Chelsea put 7 past Arsenal later that season.

Indeed, the 6-1 game was what I was referencing.

I am sure there are other examples, just out of memory I cant remember a team being subjected to such a beating in a while.

Spurs actually showing some intent early.

[sussexpob]

When was the last time Spurs won in any competition? 6 or 7 games ago?

That goal was not offside in the current laws of the game, but you could say that the Spurs defender was affected by the two Arsenal players in offside positions when he made the header.

Harry Kane scores on his return.

[sussexpob]

Tottenham only score when Kanes on the pitch

You see it in Spain a lot, that teams send decoy runners in on purpose to drag defenders.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Eriksson should have scored then.
