No Premier League player has created more chances from Open play than Cole Palmer [20] in the 2026/27 season so far.
90% of his chances created have come from open play.
They always admit “errors” when it’s against Liverpool or Man Utd
The failure to award Liverpool a penalty against Arsenal when Alexander Isak was pulled back by Jurrien Timber was a refereeing error compounded by a VAR mistake, according to a Premier League panel | ✍️ @_pauljoyce thetimes.com/sport/football/…

Phenomenal. They might actually get relegated. Podge chaos ball and gacon test obsession. Half the squad will be injured by Feb

Only 15 goals conceded in a @premierleague season
You know how since the dawn of time, sport records consistently keep getting beaten and bettered?
What’s one sport record (any sport) that you genuinely believe has the best chance of never being broken? No matter how much time passes.

My Alonso take:
- Alonso is a good manager. Way better than what he is currently showing right now.
- Do we have a right to feel slightly aggrieved? Absolutely. In an ideal world we would have looked more like a team by now.
- Are we at a stage where we need to consider replacing him? Absolutely not.
We need to build something slowly that sticks. We need to finally build solid foundations and sadly, whether we like it or not, that takes time. Some managers can do it quickly, some take more time.
Unless things become catastrophic, Alonso needs 2 years. All the managers that some fans want to replace Alonso with all had time to succeed at their clubs.
Fabregas and Hurlezer, two managers who have been suggested, are both in season 3.
I am not here trying to make excuses for Alonso, he has made some bizarre choices and is overcomplicating things, but as he has said before, the team we see in May will be wildly different to what we are now.
As I have always said, football can change in an instant. Let’s hope this international break we get some of our key players back and Alonso takes a deep dive how to improve things.
At least we aren’t Man U!

FPL open on the iPad good process lads
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is not the FPL app. The screen shows the official Premier League Match Manager app for match information such as line-ups.

The exact same thing that happened to Antonio Rüdiger. Patience is needed
What do you think has happened with Levi Colwill?
He looked great in those games at the end of last season post his injury. Seems to have gone backwards majorly. Couple that in with an erratic Wesley Fofana and injured Maxence Lacroix....its trouble at CB.

What is the point of having all of
Jewell, Winstanley, Fallows, Shields if none of them are willing to do the same.
Today was a disgrace and the manager needs support. Call out @prorefofficial for one of the worst displays in @premierleague history.
3 arguably 4 huge “errors”
🚨 Aston Villa director of football operations Damian Vidagany has questioned the decision to allow Manchester United’s equaliser following Senne Lammens’ challenge on Zion Suzuki.
🗣️ “We’ve been told by referees during the summer that this season, pushing or unbalancing the goalkeeper on purpose inside the six-yard box was not going to be allowed anymore.
“Lammens didn’t even look at the ball. He went straight to make contact with his hip on Zion.
“We played a good match and we must do better than the last six minutes. We will improve. But the rules are the rules and must be respected. That is a fact.”

Disallowed if that was Chelsea…
Exhibit #964 showing prem ref bias towards certain clubs
I don’t think the players have a great connection with Alonso. Today won’t have helped. Colwill fuming with pen decision yet he was blamed and subbed off, Penders said post match that it wasn’t a pen.
Work needed or this will unravel quickly

Ffs Xabi Alonso is very likely a top coach but biggest question is whether he fits Chelsea. We’re and “us vs them” team due to ref bias. We only seem to do well with a psycho in charge.

I refuse to be even remotely Alonso out until after January. Not signing a proper CM was absolutely criminal. I think the squad he was given is mid table at best without a proper starting CM. Even the striker situation is abysmal. Should have kept Jackson
