Hope not . One narrow win , wot a comment .
Only one game into the season, you are already talking about title race, come on guys😂
Hearing Americns talk about football just hurts lmao you can tell their game knowledge isnt there yet
i hate this narrative of you gotta make a top 4 before you win whos to say it won't fall into someones lap this year
the two guys standing beside eachother don't know what they're talking about
It might be good to give them the info before the shows

no
how does this pundit not realize his antics against england is what is gonna get enzo booed in every ground in England
No, they're not contenders. Not with the shambles at the back, and especially not with Sanchez in goal.
I feel Like they Are one Great Gk away from being a great Team
Sigh after just 1 game like really smh
Actually, Xabi Alonso did win the Bundesliga in his first full season with Bayer Leverkusen. The caveat is that when he took over the previous season, only 8 games had been played.
one word , robert sanchez
OMG, these people have sh×××××ti options 😅😂
Chelsea been a young team since the takeover 😅. Not all other clubs fault
Please guys. It’s just one game.
Of course, the Americans have no idea what they are talking about
Chelsea barely beats Fulham and were asking about title chances after finishing mid-table? I. Can't. Even. Lazy journalism must cease in futbol.
Only with new center back and new goal keeper full stop
The booing was Fulham fans… You could clearly see Chelsea fans clapping.
1:59 fake pundits like this want to create disruption in the camp, however the older gentleman speaks sense and the truth. Ask the fans who were actually there in the stadium.
No Chelsea is not a title contender. They are just building up a future very good team
They want the negative narrative about Enzo. Old dude is right, Fulham fans were booing him. Not Chelsea fans. Regardless of the situation, we know better to back our player in hostile ground, because is about the club winning.
Not without a reliable goalkeeper
Arsenal will not win the league, come on , Chelsea, Manchestercity, will be be on up their.
Hahahaha The Chelsea supporters were singing Enzo’s name😂😂 the clowns always expose themselves
