Premier League has really dropped off in quality IMO. Aside from Manchester City and their 115 breaches, where is the quality? Arsenal had a very poor showing in Europe this season and they lack world class talent to become a top 5 club. Liverpool are finished without Klopp.
For the so-called "most competitive league" it has become a one-team circus.
Arsenal have potential they are progressing but not ruthless enough yet. Better than last season but probably missing one more world class player upfront and some depth. Its United and Chelsea that have completely dropped off. I agree that Liverpool while better than last season will have serious problems without Klopp and potentially Salah and Van Dijk. Barcelona, PSG and Bayern too are shadows of their former selves that drop is not limited to the English clubs.
City are a juggernaut in the league as Pep teams always are and they have bags of money to keep their best players and their recruitment is top notch. They are consistent in everything they do from recruitment to results to nurturing young players. If these charges dont stick or the penalty proves trivial they'll continue to dominate.
btw looks like Ange is having the same realization that Conte and previously Mou had about Spurs
