***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

[Pothas]

They are comfortably worse than last year, sure they lost Hazard but that can't explain the defence being so bad.

They're worse, but I don't think many people had them in the Champions League places with a game to go.

Likewise with Man Utd, they've had a ****e season by their standards but they're currently 3rd, which is probably ahead of where most people thought they'd finish.

Not reliant solely on one player now either. Been a very good season for them for the future with how the youngsters have done. Got some good players already signed up too.

The youngster thing is about to come a myth though, with all the new signings, hard to see how any are on the first XI team sheet, particularly if Willian stays.

I would put chelsea as slightly above average, no more, the defence still has no shape, and defending set-pieces really should be a basic tenet of the game, but they fail hopelessly, surely that's a coaching problem as much as players.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah it will probably just be Pulisic who they bought for loads of money anyway. He also came in this summer which everyone ignores when it comes to the no transfer thing.

Na, they will get their share of games as the squad isn't that deep at present and will enable rotation. That will be particularly important if they end up playing Thursday night stuff but I expect them to win tomorrrow and get Champions League.

It's arguably already a myth when you look at how little Reece James and Tammy Abraham have played since the restart and when you've got Callum Hudson-Odoi reportedly unhappy at his lack of game time. It's only really Mason Mount who has played regularly under Lampard.

As for their defence, it's almost like they're coached by someone who as a player had other people around to do his defensive work for him.

Alyson Rudd strikes again

 

[Uppercut]

I think Lampard has just been average. The Chelsea squad is the 3rd-5th best and he’ll finish 3rd-5th.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Today David Silva plays his last Premier League game. I'm not okay with this

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Been a great has Silva, doesn't get the hype of others in his own team or like previous foreign legends in the Prem like Henry, Cantona, Bergkamp etc... but he is right up there among the very best players to have played over here.

 

[Uppercut]

Absolutely beautiful player. Nobody in England has ever been amazing in quite the way that Silva was amazing.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You guys are gonna make me cry

 

[vcs]

Top 4 race is interesting. Hopefully Leicester can win, though their form has been pretty awful since the restart.

 

[andruid]

Apparently Messi wants Bielsa to come to Barcelona. I pray the infighting behind the scenes scares him off. We can't live without him

 

[vcs]

This Man Utd-Leicester game is so dull so far.

 

[Uppercut]

**** off is it dull, I’m absolutely bricking it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

KDB just scored an absolute bomb.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Surely one day Peter Drury will simply just shut the **** up.

 

[harsh.ag]

Tough on Bournemouth but Villa probably deserved it. Good job by United. Interesting season.
