Fearless predictions

JazzG

Ricky1985 Saw an interesting thing on Twitter, no idea if true though, that the deal for Darwin Nunez sparked a dispute within the club. A lot who worked on analysing potential targets didn't want him, they were overruled and Klopp sanctioned a bid for him. This resulted in quite a few of them leaving and Martin Edwards shortly after.

JazzG This resulted in quite a few of them leaving and Martin Edwards shortly after.

Slight doubt over the way some of this was laid out unless it was supposed to have happened in mid to late 2021, because that's when Edwards originally announced he was leaving Liverpool ...

Klopp let his heart rule his head... 🤣

Qwiss

Edwards and co were correct.

I think both Liverpool and Chelsea looked poor the other day. It's early and things could change, but I doubt either team will be anywhere close to us or City this season.

Meatwad

changing my top 4 to:

Top 4 finishers: Arsenal, City, Newcastle, Manure (PGMOL will make sure this is the bare min)

Clrnc

Clrnc Changing my predictions to:

Premier League winners: City
Top 4 finishers: City, Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea, (Liverpool 5th, United 6th)
Arsenal position: 2
Champions League winners: Bayern
Our player of the season: Saka
Best new player: Raya
Our most improved player: Havertz
Disappointing player: Vieira
Top scorer: Martinelli
Top creative (xA): Odegaard

Clrnc You're on the Chelsea bandwagon, love it

Clrnc

Burnwinter Yeah, Olise Lavia Caicedo makes them a lot stronger.

Plus Poch and no European football, if they don't get top 4 this season it will be a massive failure

Claudius

Newcastle looked devastating on the weekend. Only question for me is if they have the depth to stay in the chase until the January transfer window. If they can stay in a good position, they’ll be dangerous as they can go out and do a madness

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Chelsea look a lot stronger to get top 4 with the squad and midfield they have assembled

Claudius

Clrnc just saw the Lavia news this morning. I’m surprised he’s going there given the glut of quality. It’s risky.

Chelsea could have enough quality and time between games to really make a push. They’ll still need to deal with squad harmony given the large team and limited minutes - so expect some issues there around mid season.

TambourineMan

Olise?

Clrnc

Claudius Chelsea fans and pundits are saying that Chelsea has the best midfield duo in the league. Talk about overreaction. A very good midfield definitely but in the league it's pretty normal. Everyone has a top midfield pair other than Liverpool and Spuds.

Partey Rice
Caicedo Enzo
Rodri Kovacic
Casemiro Mount
Bruno Tonali

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Clrnc NUFC's looks the best to me on paper.

Kel Varnsen

Chelsea's back line looked terrible this weekend. Disorganized, individually weak, and easily beat by balls in behind them.

KingslandBarge

They ought to be deducted points as well, though may have successfully utilised loop holes in FFP. It's kind of BS that the loans to the previous owner have been ostensibly written off?

Claudius

KingslandBarge I’m fine with the writeoffs. I’m just appalled that they’ve been allowed to outspend all of La Liga since summer 2022. Don’t care if they amortise a contract over 20 years. That’s just insane.

QuincyAbeyie

Claudius

That's without sales, right?

Qwiss

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert really? It's good but City is definitely better. And probably ours too.

Burnwinter

Rice played about 90 passes with 92.3% completion against Forest, something like that. He saw a lot more of the ball than Tonali versus Villa, but people are acting as if the latter is the new Pirlo already. He looked good to me in a few of the highlights of a high-scoring match for the Toon, but we shall see.

Clrnc

Burnwinter I mean, the first week debut really meant nothing for both players especially if Rice is reportedly unfit but the stat you mentioned... Elneny probably is king at those.
