That's not prime Willian and Patrick Kluivert, that's Justin Kluivert and 34 year old Willian :hubie:

They are competing without any of them now. Willian is a bust, but Kluivert could work out. They need someone for Mitrovic to play off of. Right now its one dimensional and its got them looking half way decent.

Key word there is CHALLENGE. I'd argue the Europa spot is going to be more fought over than top 4. I think City, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool will probably lock that up. I'm not convinced by Chelsea at all, and Palace and Brighton both are punching above their weight.

It could easily by a 6 way scrap between Newcastle, Chelsea, Palace, Brighton, Fulham and probably United.


This might be a moment where we see a team that's been in the top flight for a while go down. Leicester look hopeless and West Ham don't look particularly good either. But it'll probably be Everton, Leicester and Bournemouth that go down. (If current form holds)

I'd put Villa in that category too though they haven't been back up for that long. Gerrard will probably get sacked soon.

Chelsea will probably switch from a 3-4-3 this season.

The team is incredibly unbalanced given the current personnel. Reece James is absolutely wasted at RCB.

Loftus-Cheek at RM? I expect them to push for another CM and switch to 4-2-3-1.

I was just thinking, in regards to footballers getting robbed, you think it'll ever get to the point where they'll have to start paying for security? Or maybe having to pay a protection fee to gangs so that noone will mess with them (like musicians, at leas tin the US)?

It's weird to me. They should all have world class security especially at home.

The thought of Parisian goons making Neymar and Messi check in with the OGs is some wild s#it :bryan:
