City, Liverpool, United and Leicester all really good teams, and that's before you consider Southampton, Everton, a resurgent Arsenal etc. Top 4 alone is going to be really tough this year.
Yep, I think City, Liverpool & United are locks. Will likely come down to us vs Leicester.

Some of those draws are going to really cost us I feel.

Leicester have lost 5 games but are top, the draws are definitely going to kill us.

I remember we lost like 13 games a few seasons ago & still finished Top 4 because we only drew 2, sometimes you gotta take risks.

What happened to Vibes F.C, they looked pretty good at the start of the season, mind you they didn't really play many big teams but they were at least solid defensively or looker to be improving since last season but they've totally fallen apart.

Yeah top 4 will be tough but we need to believe and get our home form going then I think we will be the ones other teams worry about.

I still think Europa might be our best chance though

Chelsea fans 100% deserve this and even more.

They said Conte almost “destroyed” the club, the same manager who won them the league in his first season

Then they chanted Fuck Sarri Ball at the games and abused him the whole time he was there. The same manager that got them top 3 and won Europa League

Enjoy Frank Lampard you c***s

Fat Frank might not last until tomorrow unless theres a big turnaround here. I maintain they did him no favors by their massive expenditure. Dropping young players playing well and developing nicely in favor of alot of big names. Wasnt going to end well for someone like him. If he had more managerial experience then yeah i could see it. But 2 years experience with one in the 2nd tier? Yeahhhh not a recipe for success. Couldnt happen to a nice club. ****s.

Probably not a popular opinion on here but I would take CCup, EL trophy and top 6 finish this season.

We just got to pray Abramovich keeps backing Lampard because he’s doing a awful job

Their squad is so good + they’ve got an amazing academy. If a really good manager like Nagelsmann was their manager they would easily be serious title contenders

Yep. Liverpool are also drawing too many games this season and I remember under Benitez they drew loads of games one season and finished 2nd. We also had one season where we drew quite a few games early on in the season under Poch which meant we fell too far behind ( can’t actually remember if that was the season we finished 2nd to Chelsea or not).

It’s good to be hard to beat, but wins are key. In theory you could stay undefeated all season with 38 draws and still get relegated most seasons.

I think the change in formation could be key.

3-4-3 allows us to get more bodies up front and I think we should approach games in this manner against the majority ot the league.

The bigger/tighter games we should go with 4-3-3 and sit deeper.

Having said that I still think Jose played the 3-4-3 to combat Sheff Utds system.
