Barclays Premier League- 2017/18 Season Thread

West Brom’s Darren Moore wins Manager if the Month the same day his team get relegated. Ouch!

I’ve been to probably 4-5 Arsenal games this year and the whole defence needs shipping out. In Europe and the other cups I feel Arsenal have actually been playing good attacking football, but in the league they resort back to their mind-numbing endless passing around the box.

City set the record for most points in a season, most goals in a season, and most games won in a season.

win on Sunday and they'll break 100 points

Magical season.  Hard to repeat success in EPL so next year they can prove doubters wrong.

Arsenal still without a point in away games in 2018-- if they could get results away from the Emirates they'd be top 4 easily.

Arsenal has one of the worst Ds in EPL but top 3 attack.  There is going to be an exodus on Arsenal D.  I expect to have a completely new back 4 in few months.  The problem with Arsenal D, it’s not built for EPL...  it’s built for LaLiga...  Arsenal back 4 consists of smallish fast guys who get straight up outmuscled in EPL.  That’s how clueless Wenger has been over the years.

Seems like a lot of recent transfers just aren't good fits in the team. Xhaka, Mustafi and Bellerin all seem to be inconsistent at best and massive liabilities at worst. Not sure how much of that is on the manager though. Ozil seems to be just as uninterested as Sanchez was before leaving as well. Mavropanos seems to be one of the lone bright spots in the back 4 despite the red card against Leicester.

This.

Mustafi,  Xhaka and Bellarin make a ton of mistakes every game.  Just awful to watch.  Will be interesting to see what new coach does.

Salah breaks the EPL single-season goal record. Absolutely incredible. Liverpool have to find a way to keep him this offseason.

I think they will.  Don’t see anyone going nuts for him just yet.  Just one good year.

I’d prefer Joachim Lowe or Allegri.

Should find out this week.  They already canned basically the entire Wenger coaching staff.
