    Premier League 2017/18

    He said the next manager will find players left from Mourinho like Lukaku, Matic and De Gea. But why didn't he say Pogba? :snoop:

    Premier League 2017/18

    Arsenal needs about 10 new players and a new manager. But they never spent money even when they had CL revenue so I'm not sure how they will revolutionize the club now that they're out of everything.

    Wenger is a horrible manager.

    Premier League 2017/18

    I actually think they're far more open than I expected. Defensive line is high, fullbacks are staggered. Eriksen and Son don't do much on the wings defensively. Their front 4 play a lot of flair and fancy, exchange positions and make runs. If you nip the ball which we probably will dozens of...

    Napoli would obliterate most of these teams.

    Lazio would be top 3 in EPL.

    Premier League 2017/18

    Man U looks insanely bad. Spurs are surprisingly open against them with a 2-0 lead though. Defending mostly with just 6 players. But I guess they smell blood and don't give a shit. - - - Updated - - - Fellaini came on for 8 minutes and then Mourinho subbed him :howler: :howler:

    Premier League 2017/18

    Yes. I watched most of their match today. He is supporting the wingers. The wingers are looking to cross. Pogba should be on the receiving end of that, not supporting the wingers for a ball backwards. When they pinch the ball, they look for him first. I guess so he can get on the ball and make...

    To put it another way, Pogba is the CM hovering around the box that Pjanic or Pirlo passes to. He is not Pjanic or Pirlo. The more he's on the ball in midfield, the less he can use his physical advantages (height, strength, jumping) and skills (shot, first touch dribble) around the box. I...

    Said this last year but Pogba was at his best with us because he had more humility as a youngster and because we had giants of the game like Pirlo. Just touch it to Pirlo and get out of the way. If it comes back to you, do something quick and that's it. Pogba is not a maestro. Captain's...

    Pep is so hard to beat over 38 games once his team is settled. There are no missteps against small teams. He just overruns them. In a one off or even a two leg matchup it's quite different. I'm actually a fan of Pep despite my past criticisms but I criticize him only because it's so simple for...

    I don't know who to cheer for in the Prem. I guess Liverpool because they all have a screw loose and just run around the field in random directions while the coach looks like he's being electrocuted. But I don't mind Tottenham either.

    Emre Can looked really good today. :snoop:

    Premier League 2017/18

    It's unsportsmanlike only if the referee decides it is. I'm 90% sure there is no black and white rule in the book and it's up to the referee to decide if it's a foul. There are a lot of things that get left under "unsportsmanlike", which gives the referee a lot of leeway. If you are running...

    Premier League 2017/18

    The way some of these teams play football is just contrary to logic. Any person who has never played the sport would turn their heads at these Burnley defenders if you told them the basic rules of the game. "Why is he kicking it past his two teammates and into the crowd when the other team has...
