Premier League season discussions here...

Chelsea pretty lucky to get a point today against Leicester.  This will be a interesting year for Chelsea...just hoping for growth from the young players.  Top 4 appears unlikely.  Willian comes on and looked horrible.  His laziness is killing me.  We need Hudson-Odoi back badly.  Willian has these lazy atrocious games way to often.  He was appallingly bad today.

The season just started so a lot of time to adjust.  Arsenal barely squick thru these 2 games.  Arsenal is playing against Liverpool this week... could be ugly.

Honestly, drawing level with ManC at their house surprised the hell outta me. We don't have the best record in their house, so a draw is about as good as I could expect lately. All I gotta say is, thank goodness for VAR!

 

(I'll hate it and curse it later, I'm sure, but for now, it's alright by me)

Arsenal and Tott are better than Chelsea.  Chelsea has talent but shaky at the back and no real lead striker = mediocrity

Frankly, it all depends on how healthy the teams will stay.  United is very thin all over the place.  Spurs D is few injuries away from being crap,  Arsenal have a ton of midfielders but only few quality ones and their D is garbage.  The healthiest teams will do good this season.

Chelsea win and Man U and Arsenal lose.  Happy times.  Liverpool looking really stout so not a terrible loss.

Tammy Abraham needs to stay at lead striker...he isn’t great with control but finds the net.

Liverpool took advantage of Arsenal terrible fullbacks.  Liverpool attacked nonstop on the wings and their fullbacks literally played wingers.  It will be a different story come January with Bellerin and Tierney slated to come back in 2-4 weeks.

Why Liverpool and City are so successful is because they got great CBs which allowing their FBs go into all out attack.  Both Liverpool and City FBs are great attackers.  That in turn splits open opposite team midfield due to overload.

Arsenal is in rebuilding phase to try to copycat that but it won’t take full effect until next year when Saliba and another CB will join the team.

Not so sure about my guys, with the loss to Newcastle last week. Guess we'll start to see tomorrow if they really have what it takes to contend this year, or if there's just too much contentious internal strife from players wanting out that's affecting our locker room.

Arsenal have a good attack but their D is bad...  Holding, Bellerin and Tierney are still out for 2-3 more weeks.  Arsenal will likely counter a lot tomorrow.

Yep, that’s true. Arsenal one season away from competing.  Still need a LW, CM and CB. Arsenal D will be pretty good next season when Saliba comes in and another top CB signed.  Arsenal will finish rebuilding almost same time Liverpool players start going past prime.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
