Liverpool has games in back to back nights? I'm new to football but I haven't ever seen that before.

That doesn't look correct. City is playing Chelsea. Liverpool is playing Bournemouth this weekend.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Yeah that's my mistake. It's Man City-Chelsea on Sunday.

 

[bdutts]

Thanks. Makes sense.

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

Yeah. If I would have been able to, I would have updated my original post.

Everton with the clean sheet 3-0 over Southampton.

This was a good 3 points to get as their 3 next matches are home vs. Manchester City, away at Spurs, and home vs. Chelsea.

wooph. that's rough. but they still pulled out a great win today.

Yeah. If Stones ends up going to Chelsea (which Martinez keeps insisting won't happen as the team keeps saying he's not for sale), then their defense will be really awful. Although they have reportedly been connected to a player from AC Milan.

Jose Mourinho is claiming that Manchester City's win over Chelsea today was "fake": http://www.espnfc.us/chelsea/story/2566928/jose-mourinho-calls-manchester-city-win-over-chelsea-fake

I can't stand him.

 

[wettsten]

I can't stand him.

the only thing worse is a chelsea supporter's undying love for him.

Mourinho does a great job of keeping his players out of the media. Draw with Swansea and all the talk is about Eva Carneiro, not the performance. Lose to City and, again, he focuses everything towards the referees instead of the performance. He knows how to run a squad.

That only works for a couple of weeks. Eventually they are going to have to start winning some games.

Lies. Rooney has been terrible.

 

[KBLEE]

Lies. Rooney has been terrible.

Yup - he's been almost a bad as Chelsea's defense.

Lol can't argue with that. John Stones is coming to save the day soon though.
