"DO ME A FAVOUR MATE!" Jason Cundy CLAIMS Chelsea's Front 3 is the BEST in the Premier League!
talkSPORT pundits argue whether Chelsea have the best front three in the Premier League and assess Everton and the referee
The clip focuses on Chelsea's win over Everton. Jason Cundy insists Chelsea have the best front three in the Premier League, while another guest cites Man City to disagree. They also criticise Everton's attack, debate whether Morgan Rogers should have been sent off, and question Paul Tierney's refereeing.
- Everton were terrible, the first half had no quality, and Barry should have done better with his header — He thought it was a poor game, and Everton showed no response after Chelsea took the lead.
- Chelsea have the best front three in the Premier League — He named Cole Palmer, Rogers and Pedro and said Chelsea score enough goals to win the title.
- Chelsea are not the best front three; Man City are better, and Chelsea are only very good and have started well — When asked to name a better front three, he said Man City and rejected Cundy's claim.
- Chelsea have enough goals to win the title but concede enough to go down; if they do not keep a clean sheet they cannot win, and they often need two or three goals — He believes their scoring is title-level but their defending is a season-long problem.
- Cundy's claim that Chelsea have to score two or three to win is not factually correct; only the point that a clean sheet means you cannot lose is true — He said the other statement was wrong, even though the clean-sheet point is valid.
- Paul Tierney refereed badly, especially in the first half, and was poor for both teams — He said Morgan Rogers should have been sent off for a dangerous challenge, Cole Palmer kicked the ball into the air without punishment, and Anderson's booking was wrong.
- Cole Palmer kicking the ball into the air should not be treated as kicking it away or heavily punished — He said the ball landed roughly where the free kick was, so Palmer did not boot it away but only delayed the restart.
- Everton lack finishers, Thiago Barry should have scored his header, and Morgan Rogers should have been sent off for a second yellow — He said Everton have started well but cannot put the ball in the net, Barry wasted a key chance, and Rogers was already on a yellow.
- Morgan Rogers's challenge was not a straight red; at most it was debatable as a second yellow — He said both players were going for the ball and Rogers did not deliberately lift his leg to hurt the opponent.
- Everton have just been hanging around the Premier League for 30 years and today looked like they only wanted to nick a set-piece goal — He said he respects David Moyes and Everton, but based on the club's history and this home performance, it was not enough.

Let's start with your mob. Obviously, you're the early kickoff. Happy with Chelsea. What about Everton? >> I I thought Everton were terrible, mate. Honestly, I thought they were terrible. First half was a real >> It's a horrible game to commentate on. Horrible game to watch. There was no quality. They Barry should have done better with a header. He had a header. Should have done better. Moes Cassedo had a great strike set piece. Comes off the the upright and the corner of the of the go of the uh crossbar. Other than that first half, there was nothing to talk about. It was a really pretty poor game. Both sides were pretty cuff actually. >> Uh second half once we got a nose in front I'm expecting everyone to come out come out and show their teeth. >> They didn't. >> No, not at all. In the in the end, you know, at one you're never safe, especially Chelsea. But to keep a clean sheet, go there. That's historically has been a tough place to us to go. Um absolutely delighted with the three points, >> but I thought Everton would >> Yeah, I I I'd be I'd be a bit annoyed if I was an Everton fan. I would after that performance. I'd be a little bit annoyed. Didn't do anything. Didn't show anything. and typical Evan. >> I told you this mate right they I don't know who they are. I mean listen I I respect David Moyes and I respect Everton but but in this game the game there at the first half I think both managers at Halime should have said the game is there for the taking both sides didn't show a lot of quality at all but Everton come out second half and once Chelsea took the lead I don't know I don't I loved it Everton fans but I I was I thought they were pretty pathetic. >> Hello Jamie. How are you, mate? >> I'm good, man. I'm all right. >> Hold on. Hold on. Just check again. >> And >> we're on the way back. We're driving back from Liverpool. We had an absolute blinder today. And um do you know what? I couldn't be happier. How are you chaps? >> Bottom of the league. >> Listen, we are bottom. Yeah, >> do you know what? Right. Listen. That's the first clean sheet in over 20 in 22 games or 23 games. This goes back to January, right, in the Premier League. playing Everton. Everton, but the reason why I run up today was was really just to speak to Ohara and why what have I done? >> Because I keep because I'm driving home today. I'm drinking a cruise campo in the car. I'm not driving. Don't worry. My age is driving. But at the same time, I'm just looking at that zero by your um by your and I'm thinking, what is going on at Tottenham? >> Hold on. Table table. >> Yes, we're bottom lads. Yeah, we are bottom. All right. Yeah, I know we're bottom, but we're playing Coventry on Monday night. ALL RIGHT. >> OH, DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT. >> NO, NO, but let's see what commentary are. >> I know, but we're playing some good football. >> Lee, don't worry about us, matey. Playing some good stuff. >> Result, but I've got But I've got to say one thing about today. We look like a proper side today. We look like a proper side. >> Candy said you were g. >> First half was poor. I thought the first half both take >> Listen, a win's a win. A clean sheet is a clean sheet. >> Yeah. and we are climbing the league and we are playing some decent football. >> The defense is going to let us down all season. Ultimately, it is going to let us down, but at the same time, we have got an unbelievable forward line which quite frankly could be up there with anyone in >> No, I'll give you that. >> The best front three in the league. >> What? It's >> the best front three in the league. >> What? >> Chelsea striker's best front three in the league. >> Name me a better front three. >> Man City. >> They're not a better front three than us, mate. Shut up. They're not. They're not. >> What are you on about? You're talking absolute >> They're not Cole Palmer, Rogers, J Pedro. Front three. Bang. >> It's not bang, >> mate. Lee, you can pipe down and all, mate. What are you on about? Don't sit there and say you got the best front. >> Best front than me, >> mate. The Chelse. >> Honestly, mate, put him down. Put him down. I can't I can't deal with two Chelsea fans. You're absolute rubbish. >> Need more Chelsea fans. Best front. >> What do you mean you're not the best front three Jays? >> Tell you now, mate. >> You're not, mate. Okay, if we're not, we are absolutely in that conversation. We are very good. >> Cole Palmer, Xiao, Pedro, Morgan Rogers, Es the bench. Bang up the chips. >> Honestly, mate, I've never had so much nonsense come out of your mouth. You You are You You talk No, I >> don't so much rubbish times. It annoys me. >> No, no. Best front three in the league. >> You ain't the best front three, is it? You're a good front three and you've started the season really well. >> Right. >> Defend. Our problem is we got the best front three in the league, right? We our def we we've got enough goals to win the title, but we concede enough to go down. >> It's basically who we are. >> We do conceded. >> We could we could get So we we've we've scored 17, right? Conceded 30. >> We've conceded less. >> I know. That's what I mean. >> That's what I mean. Our back defend. So that's why the problem is we've only scored three. >> So yeah, I mean Yeah. There's a lot going on. >> You've scored 17. >> 17, mate. I know. We're decent going forward. We are. We're decent going forward. >> That's a problem, isn't it? >> Um, but yeah, it's Here's the here's another problem, right? If you don't keep a clean sheet, you're never going to win a game. It's as simple as that. At Chelsea, you have to score two to win a game or three. >> It's not factually correct, though. >> That's not factually correct. But, you know what I mean, right? You need to keep keep a clean sheet. You can't lose. >> It's factually. >> That's Yeah, that is true. >> Factually, that's fact. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's true. >> Keep a clean sheet, you can't lose. >> Yeah, but it but the other statement was 100% wrong. No, I know. But but for Chelsea it's not because we we had to score three goals to get a point early part of the season. Kept conceding three. >> Hello lads. A good show. >> Thanks mate. What you phoning us for? >> Just about to be honest with you. I just want to say before I get called out on it, Chelsea deserved the win today. Just want to make that very clear. But the referee again after that Newcastle I just seen there as well. Like I'm surprised Morgan Rogers wasn't nearly sent off to be honest with you. Not that it was a malicious challenge but it was dangerous. And then the Cole Palmer picking the ball up and kicking 80 yards in the air and then it just being nothing. And last season obviously Declan Rice getting set up against Brighton. I know that's an Arsenal example, but the referee in Stanford is just 14 today was terrible. I honestly he he booked Anderson. I don't know you remember the challenge that came in on Josh Achinong, right? He picked up a booking as well. Yeah. Right. It's not a booking and then he does the same. He books a Chelsea player. I'm like I don't think cuz actually the game was was quite bad tempered and the first half there was nothing badtempered about the game. I thought Paul Tierney refereed that first half appalling mely. I thought it was terrible for both teams. I thought it was terrible. We honestly didn't. >> Yeah, I I >> it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't against cuz it was the Cole Palmer thing just made me laugh because >> Yeah. Do you know what right I tell you why it's a tricky one. Right. Cuz he doesn't boot the ball away. He boots it in the air. >> No, he keeps it up >> and the ball bounces. The ball bounces pretty much where the free kick's given, but he lops it about 30 feet in the air. >> Yeah, right. Not a bad idea. >> So, he's not kicked it away. He just It's just taken longer to get back to where it wants to be. >> No, I totally agree. I mean, you can see it how you want, Jace. But at the end of the day, I mean, it's not just that. It's I think the whole weekend I've been watching as much as I can with the kids and that, but I just think the standard is just good. >> How we doing? All right. >> I'm all right. Am I all right, mate? Look, you got beat today. Um, Kundi's said you're a bit guff. I wasn't impressed with Everton at all tonight today. Tell what you thought, Ty. >> Well, no, not really. I mean, we've had a good start to the season. Six games unbeaten before Chelsea, so that was that's um been a positive. Um we just haven't got people that can put the ball in the net. I mean, Thiago Bar's missed goodness knows how many chances. >> He should score today. A header. Should have scored a header. >> Yeah, he should have scored today. Yeah, he should have put us ahead. Um, also, um, Morgan Rogers say, how how did he stay on the pitch? That should have been a second yellow. Really, shouldn't it? >> Have you already been booked? >> Yeah, >> it'd already been booked, Deb. Okay. I I thought a lot of people >> was already on a yellow. >> I thought a lot of people were looking for a straight red. And the problem he's got, it's a it's a Listen, it's a an honest 50 G, wasn't it? Right. The pair have gone in. Do you not think his leg has just come up from a challenge? like they both both legs have locked and his legs come up. There's he's not he's not he's not I've just seen Bachmann, right? Bachman's gone to hurt him, >> right? I don't know if you've seen the Bachmann challenge. >> No, I haven't seen >> Okay. Okay, fair enough. But you know, if if he could have got a yellow, I agree with that. It could Oh, >> SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GOLD. >> SO, SORRY, TY. UM, if he gets if he if he gets the second yellow, I I hear you. But they're both gone for the ball. It's not like he's he's he's lifted his leg up deliberately. It's it's it's I don't I don't know. I I thought it's not a straight red. That's That's for sure. It's definitely not a straight red. >> No. No. I agree. It's not a straight red. No. >> Yeah. Okay. I mean, look, on another day, like you say, >> on another day, he might get a second yellow. I agree with that. Yeah. >> Yeah. Depends on the referee as well, doesn't it? >> I thought he was poor the ref today. getting a bit thick. Yeah. >> Yeah. I I wasn't impressed with him at all. >> But you know what though, Ty, you know, seventh in the table, he got 10 points. That ain't a bad start, you know. >> No, that's what I say. We've been um bit unbeaten in the first six games. So, it's uh it's been the best start we've had for a long time. Yeah. Premier League season. >> Yeah. Yeah. But you know what? >> Can I just bit of a limited squad as well? >> Yeah, I know. But you know what? Right, David Moyes, right? And I I respect David Moyes in Everton. I I've got a huge amount of respect for him. You can't do what >> you're talking about. You said they just linger around the Premier League. >> No. No. No. That's evident as a football club, >> right? >> As a club the last 30 years, they just they just hang around. Don't do anything. >> Right. But I just I just I just thought it felt to me today like you were trying to nick a goal on a set piece and that was it. That's what it felt like to me. I was doing the coms on Chelsea TV and I was fearful cuz we we we're poorest at the back. We can be and I don't know whether that's enough for Everton at home. You know, we haven't kept a clean sheet in at Premier League since January, and I don't know whether we've done enough today, >> Toy. >> No, I mean, we we definitely didn't do enough. Like I said, I mean, you wouldn't have kept a clean sheet if Tio Barry could put the ball in the back. >> Yeah. Best chance the first half.
