Hello, hello, everybody, and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Taylor Rockwell. With me today is a gentleman who never gets into locker room bustups and always does his best to keep McKellar Teta from yelling at him. It's Graham Ruthven. Hello, Graham. Hello, Taylor. How are you? I keep the locker room bustups quiet, so, you know,

it never gets leaked out. That's the difference between me and the, I mean, and people at

Chelsea, Chelsea players. You just don't hear about mine. That's right. We do try to keep those

that of wraps when Graham and Ryan get into it in the post weekend review kerfuffle that we always have.

Ryan is away. He's on vacation. I think he's traveling somewhere across or back to, across the

United States or back to his home. But either way, he is not with us today. Instead, it's myself.

And Mr. Graham Ruffin talking about all the games from this past weekend. We've got a little bit of Bundesliga.

We've got a little bit of French league. Liga-on. I always over-pronounce it. But we're going to start with the Premier League and the aforementioned Chelsea, who lost two to five to West Brom. Not a result I saw coming. Graham, you were the one who messaged me to say, like, maybe we should probably cover this one. How actively were you watching this and how surprised by this result were you?

Oh, yeah. who message me to say like maybe we should probably cover this one. How actively were you watching

this and how surprised by this result were you? Oh yeah. This is a match that proved once and for all

that I know nothing. What on earth was this? I know that I mean everyone's obviously pinpointed

the red card to Tiago Silva as a bit of a turning point.

But even watching the first, the early exchanges of this match, I felt like there was something not quite right about this Chelsea team.

And even after they go down to 10 men, you look at the goal for, I think it's Pereira's first one where the long ball down the field from Sam Johnson,

there's no way a 10 men, a 10-man team should concede that goal.

So I don't know how that can be in any way attributed to the red card.

So yeah, this was truly, truly bizarre.

As much as it was a disastrous performance by Chelsea,

I also think it should be mentioned that every West Brom goal seemed to be incredible.

Where have they been hiding this sort of composure in front of goal? I mean, the second goal for Pereira, where he steadies himself before just passing it into the bottom corner,

even Callum Robinson, the fifth goal where he kind of chips a finish over the goalkeeper.

They're in the bottom three. I mean, I guess as the commentator said, like vaguely wearing the colors of Brazil, apparently makes you counterattack and score goals with ruthless efficiency the way Brazil do.
