No one is saving Man Utd until the Glazers die so mine as well fight. A game less played and only 3 points out of 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaEagles4Life Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 He is an absolute monster this year, maybe most important player to a team along with Ramos to RM, if not more important. Man Utd looked like absolute trash the first half and end up winning 3-1. Ole needs to find an answer for him QUICK because i think they play on average every 2 days for the next month.

DrPhilly Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 At this point we have a free for all in the Prem. LPool or Citeh could still pull away but if they don’t then Spurs, ManU, and Chelsea are all very much in the fight. You can easily make a case for each of them. On a side note. I watched Leeds/Chelsea last night. It was one of the most entertaining PL games I’ve seen in a while. Super free flowing wide open play thanks to Leeds attack at all costs style. It could easily have been 4-1 Chelsea at half. There were so many half and full chances. The commentators made it sound like this is the way Leeds are approaching every game. If that is so then they are going to suffer some big defeats but they will be great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green_Guinness Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The EPL is a league of parity this season. The whole top half of the table could be just 3-5 points apart from top to bottom. I'd be surprised if Liverpool win the League this time around. Too many injuries. Both starting CBs out, including one of the best in the World in VvD. Jota has been a great signing so far and it's great to not have to rely on just the big 3. Thiago is out as well and he really could have added something more to the MF. That's our weakest spot, the MF. At least when the squad is fully fit it is. Now the back 4 is questionable, though TAA just came back so that should help. We should be signing a CB in the Winter Transfer Window. Do that and get Thiago back and I would be more optimistic. Would be cool on the final Match Day to see 3-4 clubs all with a chance to win it.

But I think this is a different year and I think that could play to their favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhilly Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The thing with Liverpool is that they just came off of a historic type season. It is extremely rare that one of those is followed up with another year of clear sailing. It is just the little things like the injuries but also the lack of a late goal (or giving one up), scheduling issue, an unhappy player, etc. etc. All of those things on the margin go in ones favor during the historical year but they then tend to even out in following years. Liverpool is the clear favorite but it really is anyone's title to grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEW Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 So transfer news from the White House... Jovic is being linked with a loan to Wolves, which I kind of like. He’s just not playing at Madrid with Benzema being on fire. Would be a great winter signing for a mid table club. What a disaster signing for Madrid so far... splashed €60M on him and he can barely get on the field. Isco being linked with a permanent move to the EPL... Arsenal and Everton. He’s a really fun player, great on his day, but is probably a little disappointing overall considering how much potential he had. Ramos’ contract expires after this season, so teams will be free to negotiate with him in January. I don’t think they let him go, but who knows? I could see PSG throwing crazy money at him. Which leads us to... Alaba being linked heavily with Madrid. Always liked him — he’s just so versatile and we need players in the exact positions he can play: CB, LB, CM. I think he’s be bought on a free as a Ramos replacement, but I’d prefer to sign him in addition to bringing back Ramos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a clever player and as you say a lot of fun to watch. If he went to Everton they'd really be building a nice side there that could potentially push for a title in the next couple of years.
